Fed up - am exchanging mogul for touch

How lazy/spoiled are you that you don't want to wait for the new updates? C'mon now!

I don't understand why people react so personally to critiques of the mogul.

Your justification for the bugginess of the device doesn't make sense - just because there's something out there worse than the current tune of the mogul doesn't mean it's acceptable. Hey I'd love it if sprint came out with a new ROM that solved all the "superficial problems" - but from reading posts from almost a half a year ago with similar optimism, I wonder how long people will really have to wait for a ROM that actually makes the mogul work like it was intended to.

Freezing 5-10 times a day and for all intents a non-functioning bluetooth may be superficial concerns to you - but for me they're fatal flaws. It's not about being lazy or spoiled - it's about paying hard-earned money for something and wanting it to work as it's advertised, not via a multitude of hacks.

Again I'm not saying it's complete failure - on paper and when it's actually working the way it's supposed to, it's a great toy/productivity tool.

I also don't understand why some folks can't take criticism of the phone that they own. No phone is perfect. There are things I like and dislike about both the Touch and Mogul.

And, like you, I believe the Mogul is fatally flawed. Unusable BT and freezes are show-stoppers for me. I believe that HTC and Sprint don't know how to fix it - perhaps a design problem, perhaps because of all the crippling that Sprint does. (The Touch has neither problem, so I believe it's a fundamental problem with the Mogul.) And if they ever fix it sometime next year, by then its small memory will be a competitive showstopper. WM 6.1 will almost certainly require more memory.
