As a previous 6700 poweruser, an individual who maintains friends Moguls and a current Touch user, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "a phone to play with". With the proper soft keyboard installed (user personal preference) such as sbp's fullscreen keyboard, I actually type faster than I did with my 6700 and there is no sliding of hardware (a wear item) to accomplish this.

Wifi is a MUST HAVE, a SO SO, or a not needed item depending on a user's individual requirements. I have wifi setup at home and at my office. However, when at home, why would I surf the net on a 320x240 screen when I have my 24" widescreen sitting there on my much faster home PC. At work, we sit behind an Microsoft IAA server which requires a proxy connection and other configurations in order to connect to the net (a real pain in the a$$ to constantly modify).

My EVDO connection gives me all the freedom and speed (over the internet) that I require and can be used in alot of places. RevA will increase that capability and further dimish the need for wifi. Which, oh-by-the-way, uses yet another radio on the already power stressed Mogul.

I run all of the programs that I use to run on the 6700, plus many, many more and still have memory to spare. This allows for concurrent use of money management programs for expense accounting, GPS navigation with Iguidance, push email, threaded sms, adgenda control and management and voice notifications all running together with approx. 73mb storage and 57mb program memory still available on this "phone to play with".

Do that on the Mogul and you will have me convinced! Until than...consider me "Touched".
