But my personal opinion, my roommate had a mogul and he said himself that he wished he had the iphone so I don't know. But i'm of tired of hearing all this shit about an iPhone and im glad that sprint/verizon have a phone that can do just as much/ if not more then the iPhone. On top of that, windows mobile is crap compared to andriod or the ios. i can vouch for that with my phone.
sprint has a history of delaying the shit out everything......thats why they were behind all the time in the phone game! but i feel like the tp2 was the best phone with sprint prior to the release of the EVO. i can't wait to get my hands on one and i hope froyo comes out soon!

I guess it depends on needs and what you consider important. To trade a Mogul for a 1st or 2nd gen iPhone meant losing the ability to take movies, having no flashlight or camera flash, no ability to change batteries, no ability to cut and paste, no ability to edit Word & Excel documents, no ability to tether, no IR port (which was in use more then), and a host of other weaknesses. I can't even remember how many weaknesses there were, we made a list once, and it was huge. Just not being able to take movies or not being able to edit Office documents would have been a deal-breaker for me. Even some flip-phones could take movies. I take several movies a day, of issues, work related, and email them to the deciding party, and then get a quick response. The iPhone would have been a HUGE step back in capability. There was no attraction in that scenario whatsoever. I never even looked at one, or held one in my hand until a month ago - the specs don't interest me.
I guess if one wanted a toy or to feel "in" amongst other people, fine. I'm not like that. Practicality comes first, function before form. I'd be standing looking at an issue with a bunch of guys with iPhones, like a wiring issue with an emergency generator system on a large building, and they stood there like dummies as I took a video explaining and showing the problem, emailed it to an expert, and got a call a few minutes later with the solution. I would recieve Office docs, edit them, and send them back. The Mogul had business power, the early iPhone was little more than a toy with a slick ICI (Interactive Cartoon Interface).
