Initial impressions and thoughts on the Mogul

[kybballfan]

only complaint right now would be access to volume level of systems shounds and the d-pad. They really could have done better with the d-pad. I've had my q too long keep forgetting about the touchscreen..ha

the only thing I hate so far is its made for a lefty and I keep putting my finger on the camera when I talk on it. the battery cover is flimsy as well. other than that it rocks! oh and when u install slingbox it goes portrait the wrong way but I've informed them of that. the toggle wheel is great when using the keyb ord with ur index finger to move around. btw this was written with the 6800.

I'm sending mine back.

It's not that I don't like it, but in the end, I don't feel its worth $600+ (tax and shipping).

It feels a little cheap, there's some weird quirks I don't enjoy (anyone notice that everything under the sun is blocked in PIE for downloads: CABS, WMA streams, zip files, etc.?). While I can really see myself enjoying it after some use (the screen is awesome, its fast, and I like the camera app), I would rather wait a few more months and see what else comes out, if anything. In the meantime I'm happy enough with my 700wx.

PS. I never even activated it. The dead pixels were a dealbreaker (for this specific unit, at least).

Blocked? I'm downloading CABs and ZIPs with no issues with PIE.

well I love my mogul...its deff worth it...only problem is: as mentioned above-when I click the thumbwheel the keyboard slides out a little.
also.. installed
spb mobile shell,memmaid and it seems I can't uninstall them they don't show on the remove programs app.
its just as fast as any custom rom I used( colo+big js)
getting used to it is my problem now (not a big deal)... love it
also installed htc today s plug from the htc touch rom works great..
I have a q for other mogul owners where is the (internet calling app as seen on other wm6 roms)???

That's because the current version of SlingPlayer is not WM6-ready.

I sent an e-mail to join the beta.

I'm already testing the beta and the problem is still there. If you can call it a problem - its not their fault they decided to make it a lefty.

i played with my girlfriends 6800, and all i gotta say is that i love it. its a lot faster then my 6700 with every reg hack you can think of. Camera app is also very cool to, and the camera looks great, atleast on the phone lmao. Another thing i like also is that it lets you know when caps is on, or when you have symbole activated, that is a big pet pev of mine for the 6700. So far I installed Opera 8.65, Aim 2.0, Windows Live Search, PHM regedit, and verizons mms cab. Dverything worked just as great as it does on my 6700, pos just a tad faster.

Now the only complaints that i have about the phone is that the dpad yes i do agree feels cheap, and also the thumb wheel does feel as good as a blackberrys, witch was nice and stiff, but otherthen that a great phone and well worth every penny.

P.S. with all that crap installed she still had 142 mb of ram, me on the other hand 12 lol. (same software installed on both phones)

So how is the battery life and the earpiece volume on this phone?
