Does it have problems of dropping your bluetooth headset every couple of days so that you have to pair it several times a week like the ppc6700 does? With the standard battery, does using the internet or the built in wifi suck the life out of your battery very quickly? Is there an extended life battery for it and is it a fat one requiring a separate back like the ppc6700? And I guess last but not least, how reliable is it in terms of picking up sprint signal? The first mogul I saw had a hard time picking up the sprint signal.
I have had no problems w/ BT dropping the pair on mine, but maybe I don't use it enough.
Battery life sucks out the box, tweaks have been posted to improve it or you could flash to a diff. ROM if you want
Ebay has extended battery and yes it requires a bigger back http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=280307688790

now the signal just depends on your location and how far/close you are to the tower....try flashing a ROM w/ a diff. radio or just updating your radio with the telus one....it seems to be a better one at least for me anyway
