Im looking into changing my mogul for a touch,

the only thing im really worried about is the keyboard or text entry in general, thats a huge reason why im staying away from the mogul.

Is it a good phone? How is your text entry? Is the whole touch thing a giant novelty?

Any help is appreciated!

You can try out the Touch keyboard on the Mogul. Here's a Link to the .cab file

I got my Touch Monday, replaced the Mogul. WOW!! What a cool phone.

So far no lockups and my Bluetooth Moto H700 headset works great. The sound quality of my voice and the caller's voice is so much improved that I can't tell the difference between the headset and the phone itself.

I'm still playing with the phone, but here are my likes and dislikes so far.

LIKES::
Small size
Rarely need a stylist
Bluetooth works very well
Small number of buttons. On the Mogul I kept accidently pressing side buttons while using it.
No raised beveled frame around the screen, so now my finger can go all the way to the edge.
MicroSD is covered, so now no accidental discharge of storage card.
Very nice feeling 5-way button. The middle button is separated from the directional.
Picture quality is better than my old Mogul.
Large Startmenu
x-buttons
SprintTV, after update to 1005 version.
Ram size and speed.
Touch Flo interface with Cube.
Tabbed HTC Home plug-in with big clock
Solid feel with rubbery felt like feel to it, not slippery, so it resist sliding out of your shirt pocket when bending over to pick something up.
Stylist located at the top. I’m left handed, works better for me.

DISLIKES::
SprintTV did not total work out of the box.
I can’t select my city for HTC Home plug-in weather out of the box. I’m still messing with it though.
Cube interface has hard coded icons, but you can hack the names and what they launch with regedit.
On-screen Touch keyboard cover up some text fields, it depends on the program, so typing blind.
Back of phone gets petty warm during extended use. I know, all phones do this, but it’s still a dislike.
Supplied screen protector is hard to install perfectly. The edges tend to touch the phones case keeping it from making good contact.

Well, I can’t think of anymore dislikes. This phone is just incredible.

Waiting for my touch ever so patiently. I assume that it comes with a stock screen protector. I did not like the mogul's, was not smooth,grabbed my stylus alot and lifted alot so I purchased one aftermarket, was awesome, slid like butter . Do you guys see an issue with the stock SP?

Also saw the low priced holsters. Any feedback on skins/holsters? Id hate to scratch this shiny piece of rubber ).

Here's some pictures of the Sprint supplied Touch Holster. It has a soft felt liner with a hidden magnet clasp. It does come with one screen protector, it's thick, hard, smooth and slippery. I know what you mean about the Mogul's supplied screen protector being a bit soft and sticky. The Touches supplied screen protector does have a glare problem in a well lit area, like at the work place.
