Looked into it a little further and got a few specs on the MSM6500 (Apache) chipset and the MSM7500 (Mogul) chipset side by side. I had originally thought that the Mogul wasn't really much of a hardware upgrade from the Apache other than the increased memory, but the specs are markedly better on the Mogul (which, as schettj pointed out, probably has more to do with the improved battery life than anything). I stand corrected.

If anyone's curious... here's the pertinent differences between the two chipsets. (from http://www.cdmatech.com) Please note that these are the chipset specs, not the phone specs, and just because the chipset is capable of something doesn't mean that the phone has that particular capability.

MSM6500 (Apache/6700)
* ARM926EJ-S™ microprocessor core
* Two QDSP4000™ high-performance digital signal processors (DSP)
* Qcamera™: Up to 1.3 megapixel digital images
* Qtv™: Playback at 15 fps QCIF
* Qcamcorder™: Record at 15 fps QCIF
* Q3Dimension™: Up to 50k 3D triangles/second, and 400k depth-tested, textured and 1M depth-tested, shaded 3D pixels/second fill rate

MSM7500 (Mogul/6800)
* Integrated ARM11™ applications processor and ARM9™ modem
* QDSP4000™ and QDSP5000™ high-performance digital signal processors (DSP)
* Qcamera™: Up to 8.0 megapixel digital images
* Qtv™: Playback at 30 fps VGA
* Qcamcorder™: Record at 30 fps VGA
* Q3Dimension™: Up to 4 million triangles per second, and 133 million depth-tested, textured 3D pixels per second fill rate

And I do realize this probably isn't the right thread for this post, but it seemed somewhat pertinent to the WM6 discussion. Mods, do with it what you will.
