Two questions...

1) Does the touch have a landscape mode? Hows it work?

2) Internet sharing? Works? Doesnt Work? Do you have to use an app like PDAnet or USBModem?

Do you ultimately feel like the switch was worth it. Ive noticed since I started paying attention that I dont use the Hard Keyboard as much as I thought I did and Im starting to think I could live without it.. but I do do messaging/internet (who doesnt). Im going to try PCMKeyboard today.

Yes it does.. it works fine.. some apps (such as the sprint tv and picture viewer) automaticlaly switch to landscape.. You can also change manually by using any number of landscape switch programs out there.. (personally I use SPB Mobile shell to do this..) - the joystick rotates with you btw...

I haven't tried internet sharing yet - I do have PDANet so will give this a try later.. I would imagine it would work just fine though. I will write back on this.

I would love to have a Mogul w/ 128mb memory, but that's not to bad had I think the HTC Touch is a great phone and don't regret switching from the mogul so far.. The biggest things I miss about the Mogul -
1) OK key next to the joystick
2) flash on the back
3) wifi - although I don't use that in the states, I tended to use it quite a bit when traveling over seas..

SO I take it its kinda like the iPhone where it just senses which direction your holding. Tethering works, so thats good. That seems to be where I get the most of my usage.

I tried PCMKeyboard today, which it seems like its a little bit easier to touch the right letter, I found myself VERY annoyed that I had to hit 3 buttons just to get a period. Since most my text needs on the phone revolve around the web, having a period on the first screen of keys is almost a must. I might just stick with the built in keyboard, or use Letter Recognizer since thats almost like writing on my old palm PDA.

I just received the official "We'll replace your Mogul with ANY phone of your choice" e-mail...

For those of you using PCMKeyboard, an alternative (which some might find easier to use) is TouchPal (http://www.cootek.com/). I originally used PCM when it came out, but the inset screen of the Mogul caused some grief....

I've been using the TouchPal keyboard instead of the hardward keyboard in order to prep myself to move to the Touch - SMS, web, and even VNC/RDP are still usable. For remote apps (VNC/RDP) just make sure that your textbox is near the top of the screen so you can see what you're typing.

I just hope the Bluetooth problem (primarily the low quality audio that is reported by the other end) isn't present, or I will have to rethink my choice of phone.

The iphone auto-rotates when it's held horizontally. The Touch doesn't do this... but apps such as sprint TV automatically rotate it.. (In slingbox you have to click the rotate button then all is well..)

In pcmkeyboard - hover your mouse over the 123#? button for a split second, then move over to the punctuation key you want.. there's also alternative skins in his forums to add another row w/ punctuation keys.. (you can also hover press down on the enter key for a split second to get cut/paste/copy - pretty nifty..)

Man this is a tough decision. I really want to hold out on the mogul, because I do use the hardware keyboard, but also because of the rotation on it. But the higher mem and speedier response time on things is very tempting. Grrrr.

I'd also like to know about tethering.

Also one other question - the tilt has an issue with reassigning some of the hard buttons - how many hard buttons does it have and can you reassign them?

Thank

There's a total of ONE button on this device (shutter button), and yes, it can be reassigned.. (for single and double tab..)

Tethering works great with both USB and bluetooth with the built in internet sharing. I assume I will not get charged extra since I never got charged extra with my Mogul...
