I actually like the touch
After having some time to play with it, my impressions have changed, ive notice how good it works, and not to mention i had some time playing with the on screen keypad, i can see why some people would buy it. |

lol, yall r funny. ether way you loose in my opinion but I will agree that it depends on your preference, I Currently have the mogul and my girlfriend has the touch, nether is completly better than the other... sprint doesn't currently have a windows mobile phone with all the bells and whistles... the touch is quite smaller and "more fashionable" but lacks a hardware keyboard, wifi, IR beam (infrared), and a camera flash when compared to the The mogul', but the mogul has less RAM which is important because it determines how many programs it can have running at once which is known to cause the mogul to freezes because it runs out of RAM so quickly, and people are known to have problems with the moguls bluetooth, alarm glitches and freezing... but i'v personally never had any of the above issue with the exception of it running low on ram and freezing, and its likely the above issues will be repaired in a future software update, but again with the exception of ram because that's mostly a hardware issue, but again everyone doesn't have these issues. as far as software The operating system is the same... only the touch comes with some pre-installed software that the mogul doesn't, like the touch-flo interface, sprint tv, IM, and ect. some of which can already be ported to the mogul, so I would say you have to decide for your self which is better for YOU, but both have pluses and minuses. but if you want something that would be considered the whole package ether wait until something comes to sprint thats considered a upgrade to the mogul like the "tilt", or switch to at&t which is prolly not a good idea but they currently have the most powerful Windows Mobile Pocket PC sold by a American service provider, which is the "tilt"... its basically the mogul with more ram, 3MP camera, built-in (traditional) GPS and a tilt screen, but at&t is a slower network and pricey compared to sprint which currently has the fastest internet..... you might want to wait for sprint to come out with something better if you want a windows mobile phone that has it all.

Touch is not (nor is it intended to be) a sustitute for a Titan. They are both good at different things - doesn't make one good and one bad. Like I've said before - I drive my BMW roadster when I want to go fast in summer, and my Ford Explorer when I want to pull a boat or drive in snow. The 2 vehicles are good for different things, neither better than the other in an absolute sense.
I currently have both a Titan and Touch - Titan is a good little computer during the week, and Touch is a nice pocketable phone on the weekend. Both are good at what they're designed to do. (I'll ignore the Titan's dismal lack of BT for the moment) |

I find it funny how people try to make the mogul the touch by putting touch flo and the cube and all the Touch software, trying to take the BT stack from the touch.. installing all these different touchscreen keyboards... and then say, "the mogul has a keyboard and its better then the touch". IF you install touchflo and screen keyboards, you defeat the purpose of having the Qwerty keyboard and the scrollwheel in my opinion.. Have you ever seen someone try to install a hardware keyboard and solder a Wifi card to the touch??? LOL
just for the fact of less freeze ups and working BT... Touch>Mogul anyday all day. Now this is coming from a ex Mogul user and a businessman who uses texting/emailing/instant messaging more then actually calling people. I laughed when someone said the touch doesn't have a infared port and a flash on a camera... its 2007, those things are irrelevant with bluetooth and 7+ megapixel digi cams. Its official, I'm selling the Mogul... I see no purpose in it anymore. LMAO

The logic for Mogul users adding these things, is simply because we can. Just like PPC users adding the whole i-phone theme, we do it because we can. I personally have the Touch Keypad installed on my Mogul, b/c I find that's the best way to use the keyboard (also easier to use one handed) without actually sliding the keyboard out. But, if I need to type a long message or email, the hardware keyboard may be a better option on the Mogul, but it's not an option at all on the Touch. The whole TouchFlo and cube, is just for looks, yet each button has a purpose and is linked to an app that I'd actually use. I have the cube installed Now, the more important things, like Wi-Fi. I personally find EV-DO coverage to be "Okay", but it's not better than Wi-Fi (don't try and convince people they'll never need it). In fact, when you take your Touch in places where there's absolutely NO COVERAGE, you can't use the internet at all. The Mogul, you're able to turn the phone radio OFF and still use the internet over Wi-Fi (like in a hospital), streaming via wifi is much better than your carriers data network. There's even the ability to use internet sharing via wi-fi, but since the Touch's hardware doesn't have this, that will never be an option. There's tons of reasons why wi-fi is put on mobile devices, it's like saying, "Well, I'll get a new laptop but don't care if it has Wi-Fi" Well, even if you have a laptop with no Wi-Fi, you can use my Mogul to connect wirelessly. And regarding the camera flash. I'd assume that you'd want anything that comes with the phone to work as good as it can, whether you have a 7 mega pixel camera or not is not relevant. The camera that comes on the phone is what we're talking about. If it doesn't have a flash, it doesn't have a flash. And for IR ports, you've never needed to send something to a printer via an IR port? Or maybe even use you're phone as a remote control just because you can. Now, I'm LMAO!!

I dont notice any syncing problems with video on my Touch in WMP or TCPMP... Interesting.
Anyway, I realize that the device has no wifi but its not really a downside to me. Battery life would be crap with wifi and I am blanketed with EVDO everywhere I go so that is a non-issue for me. Also, data on the Tilt is faster than EVDO provided at&t has HSDPA coverage where you are. However, if you go read, the Tilt has lots of freezing issues much like the Mogul... |
