GPS, Sprint TV, Visual Voicemail
 
Those seem to be the only things missing from my Mogul. From looking at the Sprint Spec sheet ( http://www.engadget.com/photos/htcs-...good-1/767800/ ) it seems as though the Sprint TV and Music store are "to be determined". I seriously hope it will have it.

Not to mention the GPS category seems to have a check for "aGPS" which is total bull****. If this phone is released without GPS, Visual voicemail and Sprint TV and Music for $599.99 or more than I'm folding and buying an Instinct.

The Touch Pro, and the Diamond have the same GPS the Mogul does. The chipset is a beefed up version of the one we are using now (MSM7500[A])

aGPS is a standalone GPS with optional network assistance for faster lock times.

So can I unwad my panties and rest assure that it will have GPS, SprintTV and Music? I don't even really care about the music...I can always load those myself. I just want NFL Network and other stations for when I'm bored and GPS is just too cool. I wish it would display your current MPH like stand alone systems like Garmin or TomTom.

Have we heard anything about visual voicemail? I mean ****, if the Instinct can do it why the Touch Pro?

Doesn't the 7500A use eGPS (much faster and power-efficient) like the 7201A in the GSM version does?

aGPS is better than GPS, not sure why people don't understand that. aGPS is NOT cell tower triangulation or anything like that, it is assisted GPS, a real gps + assistance. read the wikipedia article on aGPS if you still have your doubts.... and what do you mean GPS is missing from your mogul? mogul has had working gps for a long time now... sprint TV is working again as well....

If you're really considering an instinct than you aren't a real ppc user ;) It has no apps available besides maybe that BREW bs (mostly games) and java (opera mini).

Why are people talking about the Mogul? This is the Raphael/Touch Pro forum. The OP is wanting information on whether those features will be on the Raphael, not whether or not the Mogul can use them...
I'd be in total disbelief if somehow the Raphael didn't have GPS enabled from the start. That would be a shame.
I'd be surprised if it didn't come with Sprint TV and Music since both the Mogul and Vogue now have them.
I can't give you guarantees, but those would indeed be steps back that shouldn't be necessary.
As for visual voicemail... Well, the system is obviously there... but its not really a part of WM6.1. Yes they could do it, I'm sure, but I'm not sure they want to (lazy). If it is a part of the Raphael, that would be a huge bonus IMO. I don't think that the 800w comes with visual voicemail, and that is the newest WM6.1 phone (came out on Monday, well after the Instinct).

couldnt it be possible for one of the developers on ppc geeks or xda to come up with an app that does the visual voicemail?
