TRIVIAL Question: Why? does SPRINT insist that my VOGUE is an HTC TOUCH

It just seems strange that the sprint reps... dont seem to know what this phone is?

The data on my phone is this:

Window Mobile 6.5 Pro
CE OS 5.2.23506 (Build 23506.5.5.0)
{ this is a ROM that I installed }

And behind the battery the phone says:

MP6900SP
5V DC 1A
FCC ID: NM8VOGU100
IC:4115A-VOGU100

I love my obsolete phone... oh say most of the time...

Thanx

Kevie

The model that Sprint sales is refered to as the HTC Touch, Verizons are XV6900, Alltel is the Touch. Each carrier has a different code name for them.
Vogue is the family name.

Yup the phone is mainly called the touch by carriers, for example Bell calls it HTC Touch
Vogue family name like whitey said and the model numbers different across carriers

So in other words you have a HTC Touch

Average life of a sales rep is about two years, reps change as often as the phones themselves. i see sales reps change all around me and most of them wont know the 50 odd different models we have had just in the last five years.

Odd..... Why would you call the Sprint HTC Touch a Vogue? I've had the phone since it was introduced and Sprint documents and has always called it the HTC Touch.

Why would you post about your Touch in the Vogue forum? HTCs family name is the Vogue, it has children there names are:
Sprint Touch
Alltel Touch
Verizon XV6900
MP6900P
MP6900m
And the list goes on and on. The name is carrier dependent alot like the Titan: AKA Mogul "Sprint" or the XV6800 Verizon, MP6800 others.
and I could go on and on. But it's like this Sprint liked to name their devices and lock them down with an SPC to seperate them from the rest. All and all they are the same born in the same factory and named different and even look different side by side. Different colors, screens and even memory but they are the same. A Vogue!
