The Mogul is in a grey area with respect to this ban. It is possible that it will fall under the exemption which allows models that have been "imported for sale to the general public" prior to June 7th to continue to be imported and sold. I think if Sprint has a warehouse full of Moguls that were about to go on sale that they will have a case to let importation go on....OTOH, if they dont bring the handsets into the US until closer to the sale date, then they will have a problem.
FWIW, there are still all kinds of possibilities for this ban....there could be a presidential veto, a court could issue a stay, the companies could settle or there could be a work around developed (though testing could take a while). Only time will tell...
If anybody wants to read the exclusion order, you can find it on the USITC home page. I cant link it since this is my first post.
