The whole point of me posting in the first place was because people started slamming a device that no one in here, other than the first poster apparently, has even held at this point. Verizon has yet to release, and everyone is passing judgement on a device based on a single picture in an engadget article from February.

The fact remains that the d-pad on the Mogul has been criticized in several reviews. I would consider these reviews to be from reputable companies, but if you want to consider them personal opinions, that's fine. Your post is more of a personal opinion than anything else, and since the line has to be drawn somewhere, I'm going to put a little more weight on reviews than I will your post.

I never post in PPCGeeks, and why would I? The Verizon release thread has 51 posts, PDAPhoneHome's Verizon release thread has 1,922 posts, and the HowardForums release thread (the 3rd one) already has 829 posts. Granted, no one in any of these threads knows much of anything since Verizon is so damn tight-lipped. At least I don't get slammed in those threads for stating the obvious.

PS - Your turn to find reviews stating how great the d-pad is on the Mogul. Seriously, go find one that says it is as great as you claim.

PPS - At least Verizon's will come with MMS built-in. Didn't Sprint learn not to release devices prematurely when they released the 6700 without MMS?

PPPS - Sorry to sound like a Sprint hater, but if you have Sprint in my market, you'd be better off carrying a rock around in your pocket and trying to make calls with it. My wife had Sprint, and she couldn't get a signal on the top floor of the highest building downtown. Sprint is the 2nd largest carrier in my market, behind Verizon. Yeah, and in a CSA with over 1.2 million people, they still haven't launched EV-DO?!?
