i just did a hard reset myself since my mogul was running like crap, 1st hard reset i had to do so far but ive had to do a lot of soft resets. if they dont fix a few problems on the rev. a update i might be calling retentions up for an exchange.

That's the price of the Treo Centro/800w, not the Touch/Vogue.

Though I don't understand why the Touch is also suppose to not support Rev.A at launch even though it is 3 months later.

Um... the kaiser is a gsm device. Wouldn't hold your breath on getting a cdma version of it considering we just got the mogul. I'd love to have a cdma variant of kaiser though, more ram and onboard GPS chip. Now i know we can get a bluetooth gps unit to use, but it's not as convenient as having it onboard.

It's sure sexy, but no keyboard is a dealbreaker here. Also here's another vote for Oxios, great lil prog!

Why do people who switch phones feel the need to play the "whose d***'s the longest" game?!?

Hint: manufacturers make lots of different phones because people want different things - that doesn't make my choice or your choice the absolute and only correct choice for the entire universe.

You're only half-right. The Touch on CDMA will have 400MHz as well. The only major difference will be 128MB vs 64MB and no keyboard.

Honestly... I could live without the keyboard. I have a 6700 right now and I just totally reconfigured it using ONLY the onscreen keyboard. The only exception to that was to hard reset the device, which required pushing Y and space on the keyboard. Note that I have huge fingers and did this with just my thumbs.

The Touch will probably be where I drop the cash on a new phone. By the time it comes out, I'll get 75 off... maybe I can talk retention down to the 150 mark... who knows. But either way, the Touch is a huge upgrade to my 6700 and honestly, with DOUBLE the RAM and the SAME processor, its a huge upgrade to the 6800 too.

My xx6700 is a business phone and I am a heavy Outlook Exchange
user. I do way too much text editing to even consider a dedicated soft
keyboard device of any kind.

The Touch looks cool for a 'personal' use only device, but unlikely to
supply the tools for heavy, day long email tasking.

I agree. This forum is to discuss Mogul issues and helpful hints, we don't need to know you are getting a different phone. I'm sure most people who are active users of this site are hip to what new on the market and don't need help deciding which phone they want.

If that's the phone you want great, when you get it you can start traffic in the Touch forum.

Have you tried Oxios CloseApps? It frees a lot of RAM that even (SKTools/MemMaid) wont free

How do you access this once it's downloaded. I see it in my program folder, but it's not listed in my program menu for easier access.
