The 6700 is more popular and FAR more developed for than the 6800 (that is on top of the 6700 being older, which helps).
Look how long it took for custom 6800 full cases/skins to even release. There were many phones released after the Mogul was that had tons of case varieties for sale far before the 6800 did. People switching from the 6800 to the touch won't help the situation of development interest much either, unless any updates to the Touch are portable to the 6800. Even then that will not help out your average user who isn't into finding custom .cab files to fix everything...

With all the third party software out there the looks don't even matter. If you can make something like the Palm OS look practically as good as WM, WM5 is easy with Wisbar Advance or something similar.

I kind of doubt people are abandoning the mogul for the touch in droves. From what I've seen of it, it's not an upgrade and it's not a business phone. Also, HTC announced an update in "Q1 2008" which is anywhere between 2 and 5 months from now instead of "next week" or some meaningless bull. I'm hoping that means they've gotten that message that quality is more important than speed and they don't do yet another rush release that turns out to be dodgy at best. I'll gladly wait a few more months for an update if it means I get a really nice phone from it. Per WM5, it's out of the question. If I wanted that, I'd still be using my fast 700wx with WM5. Phooey.

Well tbh, the 700wx running WM5 isn't nearly the same thing as the Mogul running WM5.
They aren't similar at all. I really don't see how the Mogul (from release date until today) can be used by many people as a business phone either. It has a large rate of instability.

That's my point. If I wanted to run WM5, I'd use the 700wx. But I don't want to use WM5. I used it for a year and a half before I got the Mogul. It was fine a year ago but now it's old and I don't like it.
Per stability, I haven't had any problems. No memory issues, no apps screwing it up, no disconnects, GPS works without a problem, it only froze once because I forced it to using the 2.16 system, no volume issues. It could be faster but it works fine and I use it a *hell* of lot more than my Blackberry 8800. Am I a minority? Maybe on this site but in the real world? I wouldn't be so sure of that.

I wouldn't say that the complaints originate from or revolve around this forum though. There are many forums, sites and Wiki pages regarding the 6800.

I'm not sure if its the network or me running wm5 but some of my incoming txt seem like they're about 10 min delayed
