Well, as a previous Mogul owner that switched to the Touch, I can see the speed difference even in a single app: Opera Mobile. Scrolling was slow and "jerky" (with or without FTouchFlo installed) on the Mogul, it is smooth on the Touch. Since I do not use PIE, having a device that can handle the memory hog that is Opera is nice.
The lowest available RAM I have ever managed to get on my Touch was around 52, which is more than twice as much I ever had on startup with the Mogul.
I didn't think there would be much tangible difference between the two either, but the difference surprised me.
The lack of a keyboard is a valid concern. I probably had an easier transition because compared to the two BlackBerry devices I had prior to the Mogul, I found the Mogul's keyboard to be uncomfortable and slow in that every time I needed to use it I had to wait for the phone to rotate the screen, a process which sometimes took 10 seconds for the Mogul to complete.
