I just got my phone swapped (hardware keyboard was acting up) to a Touch because they were completely out of Moguls. I had my Mogul since August and I liked the device for the most part, except for the non-flush screen (everything is moving towards finger based movement) and the speed of the device. While Mogul ROM development has really improved the phone beyond what I could possibly imagine, the bottomline is that 64megs of RAM is simply not adequate for WM6.

Anyway, moving onto the Sprint Touch... The device is so much thinner than the mogul and the flush screen makes a huge difference, especially when trying to scroll. I love having the 128 megs of ram and not having to worry about what programs I install. I am running S2U2 without impunity! I have also adjusted to the touch keyboard rather quickly. HTC did a real good job with the 20 key SIP and I am texting pretty fast already.

I immediately installed JD's custom ROM and everything is running great. My only issues with the is rom, is that it has an older Opera Mini version on it which is unsigned. It also has a funky HTCHome which didn't display the music tab and it's weather was not updated for US cities. Other than that with all the customizations I made, I am able to get all the features of the Mogul (except for Wifi which I never used).

I was thinking about upgrading to the Treo 800w or even the Blackberry Bold when it comes out, but now I will stick with the Touch until the Diamond and Touch Pro come out for Sprint. The doubled ram and flush screen are the two biggest advantages over the Mogul imho.
