My first ppc was a touch. When I got the chance to get a replacement, I switched to the mogul. Only reason was, I got a girl that loves to text. Other than that, I would have stayed with the touch. Much nicer looking and easier to carry without your back going out. Besides...I have heard that once you get used to typing with the touch, you can type just as fast.

actually, you can type way faster than you ever could on a mogul.. unless you was using an on screen keyboard on it too.. which completely defeats the purpose

Yeah...I probably would have gotten used to it if I would have just persevered a little longer. I just kept hitting the wrong letters cuz of the way I held my thumbs. Which keyboard do u use for best typing cuz might have access to a free touch. By the way...Kentucky aint that bad...I live in Louisville.

Personally I feel 128 ram is over rated. Sure, i feel short changed whenever I realize that the touch has double ram. But I have never yet found an actual reason to have 128 ram, minus the slight performance increase that im sure comes with it.

I chose the mogul because of the keyboard...shocking, and imo you cant duplicate the responsiveness of actual tactile feedback to the touch keyboard. Plus, after typing a line the screen would turn into a smudegey nightmare. and Wifi. I don't actually use wifi often...but I'm sure there will be one rainy day where I will need internet access and no data connection will be available and I will miss it.

And the mogul is a brick? I cant really think of any place it wont fit. If looks and stuff mattered so much I would be using apple products. The bottom line was I refused to sacrifice features for a minor performance increase. Back when I first got my mogul, it was a nightmare out of the box. But after I discovered ppc geeks, there isn't a single thing wrong with it that I can think of.

basically just sounds to me like you are sticking up for it simply because you have one... your whole post was due to your experience with the mogul and only the mogul.. crazy thing about that is, PLENTY of mogul users have switched to the touch and were MORE than happy.. if you think im lying check out the "convertz" thread in the off topic forum, there are PLENTY of people there that can testify this.. size, ram, and speed make a world of difference.. wifi only goes so far- truth be told, you really would only use it in that rare rainy day case.. the fact tht you think that the responsiveness with an on screen keyboard cant compare to a hardware one also shows that you have no clue on what your talking about because the touch DEF has no kind of laggin whatsoever.. ive dealt with both devices and even though it really is about preference.. the touch pretty much dominated in my opinion.. in my side by side comparison, the size, ram, and speed of the touch was a deal sealer.. anyway, i have yet to meet anyone who has loved the touch, then switch to the mogul and was happy, the only ones who might like the mogul were the ones who never liked the touch in the first place.. otherwise i really think the OP will be pretty disappointed with a mogul if he was to switch

"the fact tht you think that the responsiveness with an on screen keyboard cant compare to a hardware one also shows that you have no clue on what your talking about because the touch DEF has no kind of laggin whatsoever"

Its not about lag, its about the press actually happening in the first place. I noticed when it comes to using on screen keyboards that unless you're really careful how much pressure is applied when you press down, you risk not even pressing the key in the first place. With a hardware keyboard there is no doubt, you either press it or you dont. And you can type zippy quick without ever making one of these mistakes, and sometimes without even looking at the screen.

And im sorry but responsiveness on a ppc is over rated. Sure... I love when my device flies and gives me the impression things are moving "fast" but it doesnt do anything for my actual productivity. Atm the only thing 128 ram would do for me is make me "feel better". or open up the potential for more complex apps in the future. atm no such apps exist that I am aware of, and by the time they come out, I will be using a raphael anyway.

Both devices were out when I got my ppc. I considered my options and opted for mogul.

You guys are all too late! lol...the OP already posted that he bought the titan so this has turned into nothing more than another long drawn out mogul vs touch thread

...enjoy your weekend guys lol

lets compare quickness shall we, im going to make this one simple an quick.. mogul: you have to slide out the keyboard, use both hands to text, then slide it back in.. compared to
touch:type and send...
boy i wonder who got who beat.. not to mention you guys could never text with one hand, hell id like to see you kill a conversation texting while driving, because i do it all the time with my touch, and i drive a stick lol.. case in point.. the touch with touchpal will destroy any mogul user in a texting match.. idk about you, but im a texting MASTER as i have around 7000 texts per month, and i could only imagine how much hell it would be for me if i had a mogul. (slide out, text, slide back) (slide out, text, slide back) (slide out, text, slide back).. man its gettin old just typing it, let along doing that mess lol

oh well no worries.. the day will come where everyone will realize that the touch has a lot of things that a mogul just cant bring to the table.. not trying to be funny, if i had the new coming rapheal.. truth be told.. id still use the on screen keyboard 90% of the time, that hardware keyboard would be used on occassion (mainly for gaming or somethin idk)
