I was hoping personally for the WiFi at least. And Sprint seems to think this will be an iPhone killer. I don't think so. Not if they've blunted it's teeth by not having at least WiFi. It's nice to have all that memory though. I suppose I could get one and use my Apache as a WAP! LOL!

Is it going to be rev a or later added? and what do you all think... is it better than a Mogul?

From WM Experts article:

TouchFlo 2 and Keyboard
I wasn't expecting the Touch to feature the improved TouchFlo features that HTC has been showing off lately. Stuff like:

"circle to zoom in on a picture,"
a nice new "big theme" start menu,
HTC's Today-screen close submenu with large thumbable buttons
Much faster flick-scrolling
...So seeing it on the Sprint Touch was a welcome surprise.



Even better is the "suretype-esque" keyboard that Sprint/HTC have put on there. It's very similar to TouchPal but with an added feel of refinement. It really does make the Sprint Touch very usable.

if you do alot of email and text messaging... no

if you are a power user and run many programs at the same time.... yes

if you need wifi... no

if you want the latest cool pda... yes

the ram (memory to run programs) alone will bring many mogul users to the touch.

We hear it's rev a capable but we don't know exactly when Sprint will roll out the ROM upgrades to support it. You also can't really compare the two as they are kind of meant for two different users. The touch is a much thinner phone given the lack of a keyboard, but also has more RAM than the mogul. The touch also lacks WIFI, which the mogul has.

Does anyone know if the Sprint Touch will have USB 2.0? I don't see anything about it on the factsheet.

Stumbled upon this article today which lists all the mumbo jumbo related to the Touch. It states that it has a flash / movie light, which I didn't think it did, initially.

also the Best Buy ad for 10.28, which is this weekend lists the Touch?! And lists it as wifi-capable?! LOL. I'm pretty sure it's a mistake, but it would be funny if Best Buy was selling a "special" wifi version of the phone.
