New Mogul Vs. Old Mogul

[Genjinaro]

Thought this was weird.

I recently had my Mogul replaced, after is physical condition went south but after seeing the replacement mogul and feeling it I thought to myself.

Hmm it feels better in the hand, than the old one but when I went to slide the keyboard out I felt a huge difference, one I really didn't like.

The Qwerty on the new Mogul feels......how can I say this......cheap maybe?
In any case the old Pocket PC branded Mogul's QWERTY felt much better and it was more rounded out key-wise than this.

I'm happy to have a fresh/clean unit but dismayed by this revelation.

Anyone else feel this difference, care or like it better than the PPC branded Mogul's QWERTY?

Does the finish of it feel better with the new or the old model?







BTW Woot for 3.35! TGI preloaded on new Sprint Moguls!

I never realized that there were differences. Is the old one branded with PPC? How do you tell if you have a new one or an old one?

Old one has Pocket PC on the bottom just above the d pad/ below the screen.
New ones do not have the logo at all.

I got mine the week it came out and it did not have Pocket PC written anywhere on it.

i asked about a similar issue before
i had the pocket pc branded one and got a new one through repairs
the new one has the brighest lights behind the IE and Message buttons on the tp of the phone. i can not remember the pocket pc version being so bright if having lights at all.

i cant say i feel any differance in the keyboard other then it is harder to open
probably jut needs to be broke in.

the new unit felt more sturdy then the old one

I felt the difference too... the older one seems smoother (keyboard wise and it looked shinier) where the new keyboard is more coarse not as smooth....

Yeah the old one was lit, but you're right, its much brighter on the new.

100% Agree, I knew I wasn't crazy.

I've had 5 Moguls since January (none of which were Pocket PC branded of course) and have noticed several subtle changes in build quality, coloration, keyboard feel & springiness etc with each. In retrospect, the first I had manufactured in early December had more of a purple coloration in the bezel around the screen. The keyboard also had more of a tactile feel and opened with more force and spring. In a matter of weeks, this one unfortunately developed a white spot and was returned (as were the others). I believe HTC has revised the hardware slightly in newer builds. My current Mogul manufactured at the end of January vibrates more like the Touch, is less purplish than previous Moguls, opens with less spring, has brighter messaging and IE buttons, a flatter keyboard, and a more tactile power button.
