Yes the mogul is another rush job--just like the 6700 was when it was released.
Sprint has tried in both cases to be the first US carrier out the gate with a PPC phone running the new version of WM. In this case it had the added pressure of the iPhone coming next week and probably felt it needed a competing device in its arsenal.
The folks at Palm took their sweet time customizing WM5 for the Treo--with its one and only ROM coming from AKU 2.3 (I think?) code, whereas the 6700 shipped with AKU 1.0 (the only US PPC device to do so & one of only two, period-- the other one being the HTC Universal, which was released in Europe about the same time).
So yes we're going to get all the bugs since we were first, but since WM6 is an evolution of WM5 (a very small one at that) I think we will have smoother running than we did with the 6700 when it was released. The October RevA update timeframe will give Sprint a good excuse to get us a later AKU CE ROM as well.
