I should
qualify my response: I do
not think the Mogul is poorly made at all.
I just think HTC has less
refinement in terms of hardware than Palm, hence the price difference (Treos always cost more than the high end HTC device).
The Mogul and the 6700 certainly are durable devices and hold their value so this isn't meant as a "slam HTC" type position, rather that Palm is a little higher-end than HTC. More like comparing an Acura to a Honda: both solid and they do their jobs, one is just slightly nicer in quality of hardware.
The memory issue with Wm5 and WM6 is sort of distorted. Sure, WM6 has more requirements, but if I showed you a video of a Treo WM6 and the amount of memory is the same as the WM5 version, would that sway you?
Treo 750 w/WM6 Beta (hint: it too has 48mb available, at least at that point in development. I suspect the same for any future Palm device.)
At the end of the day though, I don't privy one device over the other: it's all up to what you prefer and like. For those who loved the 6700, the 6800 is the logical choice for you and not a Treo. Same if you currently like the 700wx, then the 800w is your next choice.
HTC has been nothing but great for the WM community by offering so many devices, so many form-factors over so many carriers. So I have nothing against them. Heck the Cavalier looks like a sweet device and can only improve upon the great Dash.
