Man just thought too bad the units don't work as USB hubs. Could just link to each other. But then I remembered they have blue tooth and wifi, just transfer.. lol

+1 Once my card goes in I hardly ever take it out. Unless to swap out to a replacement card/phone or I have to use a reader to pull an essential file where I don't have access to a cable (I used to have a tiny usb reader on my keychain http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11294).

EDIT: I might grab me one of those mini bluetooth dongles from that link.

The Mogul had a lot of great features that have been missing since, like IR, a rim around the screen that helped protect it, and an abundance of buttons. Plus a keyboard, which is sadly missing on the Evo (hopefully there will be a Pro model soon). Using AE Button Plus, you could do dozens of things with just button presses. WiFi was on its own button. Look how many steps it takes on everything since then to turn on WiFi.

What I am saying is that for every step forward since the Mogul, there has been another step backwards. They should make a SuperPhone, with many buttons, IR, a keyboard, etc., like the Mogul had, and add in the improved keyboard of the TP2, a 4.3" screen, and everything else that actually was improved. This trying to be button-less, and keyboard-less, basically trying to be like an iPhone, stinks, IMO.

While part of me agrees, part of me is also welcoming of this change. Less buttons means less buttons I can hit in my pocket, lol. I was constantly hitting all sorts of buttons on my Mogul. It was a great device though. I personally LOVED my scroll wheel, the wi-fi switch, and the IR, but I think the replacements for these (smooth finger scrolling, wi-fi widget, bluetooth, respectively) are much better than their predecessors.

I even use my on screen keyboard on my TP2 more than I use the physical one because the screen is big enough that I can do so quickly with no errors, and I don't have to push my kb out. This was never an option for me on the TP1 or Mogul; always used the physical one.
