Made the switch from Mogul to Touch - got questions?

No flash..that sucks. It does help to keep pictures from getting blurry, also for the obvious picture where there isn't ample light...

The right button is sort of a substitute for the OK key for me. It basically minimizes all open windows, not just the current one like OK. Close enough for me, I guess.

Yes, I have a question. Why? The Titan keyboard too convenient? The cube too tempting?

Why the switch? two main reasons -

1) Bluetooth. I was really tired of waiting for it to work right
2) memory. That device really needed another 32/64mb memory to start with..

The touch is great with both of these...

Custom ROMS are great for both of the these reasons as well.

Yep - but they won't give the device 64mb more memory or make it smaller

Not the same though One of my bedtime routines is to use Newsbreak ( http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/nw/newsbreak.php ) to catch up on my RSS feeds.. Completely one-handed on the Mogul. On the touch, I can still do it one handed, but keep having to shift my hand...

In regards to slingbox -

I'm sad to say it's the same as on the Mogul.. Decent, but not as good as on the ppc-6700.. Of course having more memory means that I don't repeatedly get the 'full screen viewing may be less then optimal' message that the mogul gave...

I imagine typing on the screen on the touch is a lot easier than typing on the screen on the Mogul, too, because of the lack of the outside screen bezel?

Also, just an opinion, I've always hated how the screen is "set in" in the Mogul, as I always get junk between the screen and the plastic cover, and it's irritating. I can't wait to have the screen flush with the device.

It does help.. The area that it helps the most actually is in using the scroll bars... I've heard others say that it may cause the screen to crack more easily - but with sprint's insurance, who cares...
