First thing I did, honestly, was get pissed, because it was so much more complicated to get simple things done in Windows Mobile. (I'm coming from a Palm OS Treo 650. (Palm IIIc+Palm M100, RIP, lol)
I am very happy with EVDO (3G), and the ability to stream music and video (though you can do that with palm too, just not out of the box like with the Mogul). I'm happy with the GPS as well.
But honestly I was frustrated up until I read this article by HobbesIsReal 5 minutes ago, lol!

I would suggest installing HTC Home (In place of SPB Mobile Shell), HTC Home Customizer, Q Menu (In place of Wisbar), Oxios Memory, MemMaid (the only pay app I'll suggest). After that, customize your buttons, and set up your HTC Home and Q Menu.
With that, you can get to things as fast as on a Palm!
And now I'm VERY happy with my Mogul! Granted , the OS is not as snappy as a Palm (probably has to do with the memory), but this phone still rocks!
