Oh wow... this is interesting!

Thanks for the info. From a specs standpoint it seems they did try to do a better job on the Touch.

Also, I'd like to point out that some people are worried about the ROM development, but need to note that it is an entirely different device, therefore does not have the same ROM as a Mogul. I doubt they even worked off of the Mogul ROM to develop for the Touch.

hey guys

i do not think the mogul should be compared to the Touch, The Touch is more for people that i like multimedia surface, toy to mess with compare to the Mogul for business people like myself, i use my mogul all day long and the easy key to type make my life a lot esayer. i know the ram suck but what can you do . EVEN the touch is not the perfect PPC

The touch is just a competition for the Iphone
That's what i think

Thanks

Fair point.

But I think the bottom line should be the performance. If the Touch is way faster than Mogul, then I am all for it.

I have been using PPC for about 9 years now, and they never came with keyboards ealier. So using he 6700 and 6800 did make life a bit easier when texting, but overall I would love to loose the weght in my pocket even though I will loose the keyboard. And Touch has done a great job at using alternative keyboards (soft-touch-screen).

No one is forcing anyone to move to Touch - but I can tell you it will be a hit.

iPhone never looked exceptional to me, except that the wight and size was lot better than 6700, that I owned at that time. So, if HTC has taken a tip from iPhone, so-be-it !

I am waiting or my Touch to arrive

I read a review of the Touch on cnet.com and they said the touch soft keyboard is unusable without a stylus. With a screen the same size as the mogul I'm cautious about switching to the Touch. I would love to have the ram and form factor though. I don't need WIFI and if a soft keyboard was usable I'd try it out for sure! Are these things in Sprint stores now? I wanna give it a try

Yes, unless they sold out.

I doubt they sold out. I was at two different Sprint Stores yesterday for a long time at each, and I didn't see one of them being sold. Everyone was freaking out about that Palm Centro...which I played with, and was not impressed with. It's good...for a Palm.

The store I bought mine from yesterday received 10, and had sold 8 when I arrived 1 hour after opening (I bought #9). Clerk said surrounding stores had none left.

But, if you want to look, they should at least have a demo unit in each store.

Its hard to compare the 2 as they are focused at 2 different market shares. It really depends on what your needs are. For me, I would have a hard time giving up the physical keyboard and the hard buttons on the Mogul. I use AE Button plus which gives me up to 4 functions for each button. Since the Touch only has a few physical buttons this would slow me down. The wifi is nice on my Mogul, but its not really a deal breaker.

I will stick with my Mogul for now, but it would have been nice if HTC would have upped the RAM to 128mb. Maybe they will follow Palm's lead and have a 6800wx with twice the RAM

I know sprintusers.com has the cab files to install the touch keyboard on the mogul. I think it is very easy to use with your thumb. In fact I type almost as fast on it as I do on the mogul keyboard. It just takes a bit of practice and getting used too.

The thing that bothers me about the touch keyboard is that you dont' have much viewable screen space once you pull it up.
