Touch dual to replace mogul? Not the Raphael?
 
Hey guys,
I was just doing some reading and it seems that the touch dual with a hardware keyboard, gps, rev a, and (wifi i think) is hitting the shelves in gsm form here in the states. If it ever hits cdma, how would sprint/vzw ever sell another mogul?
The only difference would be the hard buttons from what I can see.

Question is, if the touch dual is a mogul with a better form factor, why is sprint touting the raphael as the next-gen mogul?

Not to start a flamer war, just clarification please.

I'm probably missing something.

Wups, I went to hit reply and I ended up "thanking" you instead. Anyways...from what I understand that touch Duo or whatever its called isnt a full querty keyboard. It's more like a dial pad that has a few keyboard functions built in.

I would guess its like the touch's 20 button on screen keyboard.

I just looked it up on the HTC site for europe, and you're exactly right.. It's a 20 button keyboard, very similar to the onscreen keyboard on a touch, or the hardware keyboard on a BB pearl.

I'm not sure if this link will work, but I'll post it anyway..

are you kidding me? the touch dual is NOTHING like the mogul.. its only a 20 key slideout, not a full qwerty keyboard like the mogul.. idk where you got that the touch dual was basically a mogul but that is definately not the case, if anything, you would say its a touch.. jus with a slideout keyboard an wifi.. THAT is why raphael is the next-gen mogul.

The reason Sprint has chosen the Raphael as the Mogul's successor is because it has more features and a full keyboard, and because as you have noticed, the touch dual is GSM, whereas the Raphael is CDMA.

yea switching a mogul to a dual isnt really an upgrade, i believe that the touch dual is like a htc touch 1.5, sorta like a middleman before the diamond is released in my book

I wonder if the 16 or the 20 key one is just GSM or CDMA specific?? Like the 20 Key only comes in GSM etc?? I still prefer a full qwerty anyway
