The SoC though is the MSM-7500. An "upgraded version" in terms of RAM would not have more features--it'd just be the same MSM-7500.
The HTC Touch (Sprint Vogue) is such a device--same internals as the Mogul, same SoC chipset, just more memory, but no extra features. The GSM Touch, 1st gen had the same situation--not enough RAM.
They rolled out a newer version with more RAM recently, but same internals.
No doubt some "testing" would be required by Sprint, but honestly that is no different than a firmware upgrade.
It would be quite
easy for Sprint to release a Mogul with
Hardware Revision B, which would have more RAM in it--very reminiscent of the Treo 700w vs 700wx situation.
I don't know about adding memory to existing device--I know that would be "out" for Sprint or HTC as I've never heard of such an upgrade.
