New Mogul User
 
So, my mogul *should* be here on Thursday, I'm pretty darn excited haha

I chose the Mogul over the Touch recently because I'm a college student (yay for the planner) and a BIG texter (13,xxx in the last month), plus the slide out keyboard is kinda cool.

What I was wondering was what should I expect when starting up my Mogul for the first time? I mean what are some things i should be worried about? I just recently discovered that it might not be as easy to SMS as I would like, and my friend that works at sprint says that sometimes he gets calls saying their Mogul froze up on them.

One thing that I've noticed that I like about the Mogul is how customizable it is, I was wanting an iPhone for awhile just because i liked the OS, and when I realized that I could put the OS on other phones, I decided on the Mogul, because of the keyboard, i was also looking at the Voyager, and I still might if i decide i don't like the Mogul.

So, with that being said, what do you guys suggest i get for my phone so that it runs a little smoother out of the box? Could I get links with some of the suggestions too? That would be great.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to look at my thread, and thank you even more if you reply.

Welcome to PPCGeeks!

Just remember when using the search function any word that is less than 3 characters has to have a * at the end for the search to be executed correctly

Dang dudes, you sound like forum moderators :wink:

They said it all! The list of first downloads is pretty much everything you need to get started and release the power of the Mogul!

Just don't go overboard with software or you'll find that you're closing programs just to start the camera!

I hope you meant interface rather than OS. The iPhone operating system will not run on other phones. Currently the only usable operating systems on the Mogul are Windows Mobile 5 and 6; the only possible future operating systems will be linux-based. Don't plan on ever seeing the iPhone OS on the Mogul.

That being said, there are programs that emulate the iPhone look and feel. You can install themes that look like the iPhone and programs that let you navigate the touchscreen with your fingers similar to the iPhone. I don't know where to find them though, and expect them to be a little buggy.

Good luck!

Actually, yea, I meant interface, I had a brain fart haha

drew826 01-08-2008 01:12 AM

Haha, no problem. Just glad to know you didn't make an ill-informed decision.

Also, I was wondering if there is a notification light like there has been on all my other phones, whether it blinks red or anything doesn't matter, it'd be great if there was one, in all the videos I've seen there's a green service light (i don't know what that is, but that's what i'm assuming since that's what the green light has been on my other phones) but I wasn't sure about a notification light

[sammich] 01-08-2008 09:01 AM

Yes. There is an orange flashing notification light for any missed calls, emails, or whatever. The phone will flash green when it is fine.

Also, when WiFi is on, another green light on the left flashes. When battery is low, the green light on the right side begins to flash red. When bluetooth is on, the left side flashes blue! Quite a light show!

Left Side:
Bluetooth-blue
WiFi-Green

Right Side:
Notification-orange
Low battery-red
Standard-green
