I have a mogul that is 2 to 3 years old. I recently upgraded it to WM 6.1. -- from the sprint site. At first it wouldn't sync hardly at all, and more importantly, it wouldn't load my MS business contact manager (BCM) contacts. I have over 5000 business contacts on my phone all managed through that software.

I took it back to the store and asked to flash it back to 6.0. They can't do that. But they told me to uncheck the advanced networking option in the communication manager and it started syncing perfectly.

It was then not connecting to the internet. I called the tech support and they had me take the battery out for 30 seconds. I started it back up and it works great.

My phone is in very good shape. The store gave me a new battery and I think that my talk time will triple between charges. I played around and reconfigured my screen appearance, and loaded up some new apps (amaze GPS, stop watch, pandora) that I found out about on this site.

Now, I feel like I have a brand new phone. My only complaint with my Mogul is that I wish I could turn the ear volume up a little more. And, I don't like the headset arrangement. With the 6.1 upgrade, I can now watch videos, etc. It's not as slick looking as the TP2, but it works well. I don't really use the slide out keyboard.

I use cell phones to talk on. I have probably sent 12 text messages in the last 10 years. I occasionally send emails from my gmail account. But mostly, I use my laptop for emails while tethered to this phone. I love the way this phone tethers to my laptop. I love that I can carry my BCM contacts with me. BCM doesn't support WM 6.5. This thread has me pretty worried about what will happen if my mogul ever breaks.
