come on it doesn't beat it hard please stop! the touch only has more ram, but if the mogul had more ram then it will beat the touch hard. my mogul has no issues at all, but the ones that do have issues hold on it will get better with the new rom coming up soon.

I read on here somewhere that 1 claimed to have recieved double the rom on the Mogul since his phone came from repair at HTC in Texas some where

Don't get me wrong, because I think the Touch has a lot of very nice qualities to it, but I agree with others who consider the keyboard and wi-fi to be a dealbreaker.

Wait what? you can type faster on the touch? maybe i need to go into a sprint store and take it for a spin because the moguls issues are driving me f****** crazy.

I have been trying the Touch for a few days. Received it as a replacement for the Mogul, having ordered it before the latest Mogul ROM. I have been comparing the two.

Well, I'm pretty sure the Touch is not for me. Some impressions:

- The Touch is too small and light. Feels like it could just blow away out of my hand if I don't hold it tight. No sense using a BT headset -- just clip the Touch to your ear! ... The smallness actually makes it harder to use one-handed for me, whereas my fingers curl around the Mogul just right. ... The Touch feels fragile and, um, feminine. The Mogul feels like if I hit a bad guy upside the head with it, it would do some damage.

- Touch's screen has too much glare. Can be very annoying.

- Touch's BT phone quality is worse (choppy, static, etc.) than the Mogul w/2.17 ROM (yep -- at least in my testing with my Logitech BT headset)

- I don't use the hard keyboard on the Mogul very often, but when I do, I really appreciate it.

- I haven't needed to use the Mogul's wifi yet, because EVDO has been available, but the time may come when I need it.

- The flash comes in handy on the Mogul, not just for pictures but as a flashlight. The Touch for some bizarre reason has no flash at all.

- The Touch's lack of hard buttons is a big-time drawback too.

- Having the extra RAM on the Touch is supposed to be its key benefit, but on the Touch I'm testing there is actually an annoying and frequent lag in executing commands, even though it has 70 megs of free RAM. (WTF?) The Mogul is actually more responsive overall than the Touch.

- When I run iGuidance on the Touch, it always slurs and stutters the first syllable or two of every voice prompt, whereas the Mogul plays them cleanly. This a significant problem.

- The Mogul feels right to me. The Touch doesn't.

- Pretty sure I'm going to send the Touch back and say thanks but no thanks.

yea! when i was in the sprint store people liked my mogul over the touch that's so funny. all the mogul needs is ram

Touch + Keyboard would be perfect for me, but until then it is the Mogul for me.

A further observation:

When I'm buying a vehicle, one of the crucial tests I apply is -- when I close the door, does it sound like steel meeting steel?

My new cellphone version of that test is -- If someone attached little pink yarn tassels to the phone, would they seem out of place? To me, on the Touch, they would fit right in to the design seamlessly. Ergo: me keeps my manly Mogul. Just my opinion. Not "hating," just deciding the device that's right for me.

I agree that everyone feels different about looks. I personaly feel very classy and metrosexual with the Touch. With its shinny chrome and all it looks like your in the next level
I never felt that with the mogul.Althou I think the mogul is and could have been a superb phone, it does not shine as much like the Touch.
