Is it me? or does the Mogul already seem like a dinosaur

When I first got my mogul about a year ago, I was very happy with it. It has all the capabilities of any phone on the market today and it was my first phone with a data plan and internet capabilities. I was impressed at all the customizations you could do to the phone and that I could add programs like google maps and microsoft live search etc that would help my phone be a useful utility that I had access to 24 hours a day.

The honeymoon was short lived and soon after I received my phone and began coming to these forums, I started realizing the flaws of this phone, the main one of course being the insufficient ram that they forgot to put in the phone.

Now I look at my phone and I almost try to avoid using it as much as possible. Even simple things like sending a text message seem like a chore because the text messaging program takes so long to load up and constantly misses my button presses if I type too fast, sometimes my text that I'm typing is cut off at the bottom so I don't even get to read what I'm typing, and switching into landscape mode takes its time. I use skyfire which is a great browsing program but the time that it takes to unblurr the webpages when viewing them is sometimes just hilarious. Even typing the numbers that I'm trying to dial out on this phone is a chore when I have to wait for the phone to catch up to my typing. Plus the thing is one step away from being a brick sized behemoth. The battery is NOT up to par for anything more than a few minutes of browsing and a few calls and texts a day. The list could absolutely go on but I don't feel like nitpicking all of the little issues that bother me about this phone right now.

Nowadays I look at my mogul in a different light. It is no longer the new toy that I could use for hours browsing different websites on the go. This is not an on the go phone because I constantly find myself waiting for my phone to catch up to me. Just a little rant
