yeah, in all fairness if he chooses the mogul, i hope he digs it, its a great brick, i mean, phone my bad.

i think all moguls are shipping with the latest rom.

lol i dont think your downgrading or upgrading. The memory can become a problem, believe me. but your also gonna gain a few things.

I say if you wanna try it, then try it, the touch vs mogul is a never ending cycle, and if you dont like it, there will always be a touch user who wants to trade for a mogul and vice versa

No. I am a "light to moderate" power user, and I do just fine.

I highly doubt it.. the speed of the touch or i Mean the ram is so much important than wifi/gps for me.. and now that the touch has gps/rev.a working for the most part, the wm 6.1 roms are so much faster, and better.
The only good point I see on the Mogul is it has buttons and I can use touchscreen keyboard + hardware keyboard .. touchscreen (only requires my 1 hand), hardware requires my 2 hands.. but we'll see battery has been behaving much better than the touch tho but i need to hit some 1-3hrs long phone calls + heavy text as i do on the touch
like theo ther dude said it is a great brick, i mean phone my bad lol ..

True, at least for the trading part. I threw my Vogue on craigslist, and got a brand new 3 week old Mogul. Couldn't be happier!

Yeah I was going to trade it but I want dont want to get rid of my Touch so quick. Just in case I dont like the Mogul for some reason I have my Touch to fall back on. But I think I'll be ok, since I can use both the hardware and software keyboard depending on what I need to do. The size doesn't really bother me. Yes the Touch is thinner but i dont mind a little size

Well I got my Mogul today and I like it so far. Only thing I have to get used to is the size difference. the Mogul is obviously thicker and a little heavy but not to the point that its a burden. It actually seems a little faster than my Touch, but it could be just me. Already came with the Rev A rom so I dont have to worry about that. I can definitely tell the difference in data speed compared to the Touch. Have to finish customizing it tonight. One thing, I still have my Touch and I want to transfer my contacts. What is the best way to do that? Can I save it to my SD card and then put it in my Mogul or do I need some sort of backup program?

Easiest way to transfer contacts is with PIMBackup. It will even transfer your text messages, appointments, etc.

I think I may have spoke too soon. I havent had the Mogul for a full day yet and its already froze on me 3 times. Twice while surfing the web and once when trying to pick up a call. the screen froze and I could not answer. Each time I had to take the battery out to soft reset. I havent loaded any 3rd party apps yet, I did a hard reset when i first got it so i dont want to do that again if I dont have to. My Touch only froze one time in 3 months. im really bummed out now. I'll see what happens tomorrow and if it happens again its back to the Touch. Good thing I didnt sell it yet.

that's certainly odd. i very rarely ever have freezing issues. do be certain that you are using a good web browser, such as opera mini 4.1, with esmertec jbed java. that will completely eliminate freezes while surfing the internet at least. as for the phone call freeze, i don't believe i've ever had anything like that happen to me. i say give it some time.

for certain, the mogul is not perfect. but i am satisfied beyond words with mine now that i have it set up properly.

just in case you are curious, setting up a notification to run oxios memory 1.3 upon device wake up, as well as setting sprite backup to backup nightly (thus resulting in a reboot as well) goes a VERY long way toward eliminating amy memory hassles with the mogul. yes, it can be restrictive at times, but it's truly easy enough to get around.

in closing, i would like to apologize for the lowercase nature of my post, as i am posting from opera mini, and it does not support the autocorrect feature.
