You didn't say that in your post, btw.

Well yeah. It's a quagmire to get your work done. It reduces your productivity. Not necessarily a quagmire for everyone to get their work done. It doesn't reduce everyone's productivity.

I know you never said TouchFLO cripples the Touch. I didn't say you said it. However you did say that it was crippled as a PDA. Which isn't etched in stone 'cause it's your preference.

Exactly. Which is why I said slightly different. The phone is trying to move you away from the stylus. Which makes it slightly different.

Well yeah.
At the end of the day it depends on preference. Just cause a phone doesn't suit your needs doesn't mean it doesn't function. You did say you can understand how some people can live without certain things this phone doesn't have, but then say it's crippled. You think it's crippled. Fine. But know it's crippled based on your qualifications on what a PDA should be. So this sentence:

Should probably read more like:
If you want a PDA get the Mogul. If you want a PDA that's geared towards the touch screen, get the Touch. 'Cause a Touch isn't a smartphone.
