Wow guys quick question as to the cosmetics of your mogul - Page 2

Maybe they have flip flopped again on this, because some of the earliest production units made did not have the PocketPC logo on them. So these are either old units being pushed back out, or they have decided to do away with the silk screening again.

On a strange note...

I received a replacement Mogul just once now through advanced exchange. My original one had the PPC logo on the framing. The replacement did not... I checked and verified through ##PST that it was indeed a refurb unit, that was manufactured very early on. So I took it home... ran the 2.16 ROM update on it - and now it says:

Refurbishment Status: NO
Refurbishment Date: <No Data>
Manufacturers Date: <No Data>
Original Activation Date: <No Data>
Warranty Date Code: <No Data>

How weird is that?

Same thing happened to mine after I updated. Although mine was new, it definitely had usage on it prior to the 2.16 update. I was going to post it online, but got sidetracked with the d-pad issue.

That may be what happend to me too. I took the swap and applied 2.17 before I checked ##PST. I may have gotten a referb then.

I care more about getting scratches and dings on my phones which is why mine is wrapped in a seidio rubberized black case and the screen is protected by an unscratchable ShieldZone protector. I wish someone would make a carbon fiber case like the Seidio one. That would be sweet. They have cheap chinese versions now that come in colors but they are all solid colors so far as I have seen.

I just ordered this the other day should be here soon its not rubber material but is still the carbon fiber look.

will post on the quality once i get it.
I love your seidio case if only it were not 50 bucks.

I have yet another observation about the older version of the mogul and the newer one. the older moguls metal surround of the screen is a flat silver but if you look at the newer moguls that have come out the metal screen surround is a slight tint of red.

Please do. It looks nice. I only paid 25 for the Seidio case. i have no use for the belt clip wich is another 25 cause I hate phones attached to my belt. I probably would have given one of these a shot but I was an early adopter because I dropped my first mogul and had a big gash on it so when i got the second one i ordered it right away.

I just got a Mogul about 20 days ago and it has the sprint logo on it with the silver screen enclosure. Should i return it for the newer version or what?

No reason to. They are all pretty consistant. Actually I remember when the ones without the pocketPC logo first came out some people complaining about screens that seemed inferior but personally I have not noticed any difference and I have had 4 different samples. I imagine i will have 4 more before its over because I refuse to accept any flaw the crops up.

My brother got a Mogul at the beginning of August and his had Pocket PC on teh bottom of the Bezel. I got mine the beginning of September and had no Pocket PC on mine.

2 more of our friends got Moguls around this time as well and they did not have Pocket PC, either
