Re: Why one might sell their Mogul for a "normal" phone.
I am coming from a treo 755...hopefully i can learn to like the Mogul (and WInOS)...Palm OS does everything I need it to do --just getting bored of the phone.
I understand how you feel though. I tried migrating from a PalmOS to a 6700 a while back, it was a no go for me..hopefully the Mogul is better with Rev A and GPS |

Re: Why one might sell their Mogul for a "normal" phone.
I think part of your problem is the fact that you actually update to new roms all the time. You seem like you will never be satisfied with your phone. I am sitting here on the leaked 3.16 with FULLY working GPS, FULL Rev. A speeds, No contacts freezing up, push email, etc. You update to roms which are put together piecemeal from all sorts of roms and even different phones and which are not beta tested, and then complain that there are glitches. Just stick with a stable rom, and customize it so it is both fast and functional.

Re: Why one might sell their Mogul for a "normal" phone.
Im a habitual tweaker, and that goes for windows OS to winmo to psp to anything else i can experiment on.
As much as i feel that the mogul is half @ssed by sprint, i also am happy i have something i can mess around with, which is unlike other phones that are buggy and theres nothing to do about it (not to vindicate the mogul...) The thing about ppl like us (or atleast me), we can try to get something simple, but we will never be pleased with it, im telling you this to save money, do not get something that "just works". You will regret every moment of it. Get something thats on par or better than what you had if your gonna get something else, even the iphone aint bad, just dont get some standardized revolving door samsung flip or nokia #435. I hate to give a suggestion, but try dcd's 2.3.1 rom, ive never been happier with my moguls performance until now. |

Re: Why one might sell their Mogul for a "normal" phone.
I understand that to a point, but how did Sprint half-ass the phone? If anything HTC left out some memory that they should have had in the phone, but that is about it. I can do such ridiculously awesome things with my Mogul, I cannot see how anyone wouldnt be pleased with it. The Iphone is a joke compared to the Titan, it cannot even come close.

Re: Why one might sell their Mogul for a "normal" phone.
I left winmo after I realized I spent more time customizing my phone, flashing roms, and tweaking, then I did actually enjoying and using the phone. I left, albeit by force my P4350 was crushed. So saved up and almost purchased a TyTN II but backed out and sprung for a Nokia N95. I just wanted a phone that worked, had everything I wanted yadda yadda.
Well the N95 is sitting on the counter, and I am awaiting a buyer. What does that tell you? |

Re: Why one might sell their Mogul for a "normal" phone.
I would almost kill to have the 'ability' to use something like a Samsung A727...
Unfortunately.. I need the ability to communicate quickly... direct push, other email, text... there isn't another phone that I know of that i can do these things so quickly on. Other than the AT&T Tilt. My Mogul running nuerom is fairly close to perfect for me. Still not as good as my Apache was... I use BT a lot... still have BT issues with my 6800... mostly because the phone is slow. I can press the button on my jawbone, and wait 3-4-5-6 seconds for the phone to reply... most of the time, it's a missed call. But, I understand the trade off to always having to carry a phone charger and living with the phone.... tethering, GPS, etc.

I'm running the stock 2.17 rom - everything works great, phone is reliable as hell, and everything I want/need works fine on it. It's better then the 6700, runs twice as long, and does exactly what its supposed to do. I dunno, maybe its an expectation thing? |

Re: Why one might sell their Mogul for a "normal" phone.
I agree completely with the OP..In fact, I've been looking in to getting a "third" phone for a while now, however I keep stopping as I don't want to pay more monthly fees.
Problem is, I love fooling around with my Mogul..testing roms, software, registry tweaks..it's entertainment for me, as I'm sure it is for most people here. However I have found myself very dissapointed and annoyed with this thing. If it weren't for the entertainment value from tweaking it, I would've dumped this thing a loooong time ago. FYI, I've messed around with a friend's centro - that device is killer. I'm quite tempted, honestly - it just works - and works very well, at that. |

Re: Why one might sell their Mogul for a "normal" phone.
Get an iPhone. Seriously...I have nothing against them, nor should anyone else here. It is a quality phone. Modding the phone is easy as dloading 1 program and clicking 1 button, literally. Then you are done, and you have an entire community at your fingertips with the easiest way of installing stuff you have ever layed eyes on. It is simple, easy, fast, and painless. Get an iPhone.
I have an iPhone I use as my ipod. I went with an 8gb iPhone instead of a 16 gb touch because it has a camera and external speaker. I just dont have service going to it One more lost iPhone for apple. Muahaha. |
