Is the Touch better than the Mogul

[EtherealRemnant]

Just to prove my point, I got on my Touch right after posting my last post and typed this message on it.

Note
that
I
can
type

okay enough of that.

I can type extremely easy with this keyboard and I've only been using it for about 20 minutes so I still have the occasional mistype here and there.

For the most part though, I really like typing on the FSK...

you install the Arcscoft software that we can ALSO install in the mogul... both devices can't send MMS out the box.

I have both devices the only things I like better on the touch is 128mb vs 64mb and the feel it is avery sleek and small device. Don't care for the cube and touch flow is ok. The bluetooth should only be the stack and should be fixed on the mogul. The mogul has a better screen better battery life and more features such as WIFI and more hardware buttons and slide keyboard. I just wish HTC would not of made the very poor decision to only have 64mb.

I'll never understand why people get so huffy about MMS... I've NEVER used it... What's the point of sending a crappy picture taken with a phone?

And yes, sj is right, neither device supports MMS out of the box.

You'd be surprised, actually.

The FSK works EXTREMELY well.

You just install it and set it as the default SIP. It pops up as a generic WM keyboard with a keyboard icon in the top left corner. You click on that and you've got the FSK. You can even enter carriage returns on it. Definitely check it out man, I think you'd dig it once you get the idea.

You can also map it to the only hardware key on the Touch... but if you do it that way, it doesn't work with apps like Opera and such. Plus that's a serious loss of a button action... which the Touch BADLY needs.

I'll try out the happy tapping board... I don't really think I'll be switching from SPB's FSK any time soon though. Its landscape mode and it REALLY feels like a true qwerty.

after your testimony, I think I'll check it out. It wouldn't hurt to add another keyboard to the list.... I have quite a few so far. LOL.

Its awesome because it allows you to type up entire emails in its little box then as soon as you punch the little keyboard in the bottom left-hand corner, it pastes it all in for you, carriage returns and all.

No more worrying about the tiny space that the SIPs give you to see the text you're putting in, since it scrolls across automatically on its own as you type, which gives you a faster look at what you're typing in (big text too) rather than trying to tap and then glance up now and then at what you're typing.

I made it sound a lot more confusing than it is... lol. Its really quite simple. Its highly configurable too and I recommend turning off the autocorrect and suggestion options in the SIP options but that's just my own personal preference. I don't like having the sound either and I like having the target on so as I'm typing, I can get a general feel for how accurate I'm being with my presses. I'm getting to the point now where after the first few characters, I don't really have to look at the screen as much anymore.

When they get the wifi back into the touch it will be my next ppc I'm still hanging onto the 6700. I'm ready to shed the bulk, but not ready to abandon the wifi. And no, evdo does not work as a substitute for logging into my home network.

Other then that, well ok maybe that and a larger VGA screen, and I'm all over it. But by then, it's not really the touch anymore, is it

I've only used the wifi on my mogul a handful of times. It's not that important to me.
