thinking about trading my touch for mogul

i have been doing research and am trying to find out all the bad things about the mogul.

aside from the size, weight and onboard memory, how is the touch superior?

I am seriously thinking about trading in my touch.

Isn't that enough?

Mogul has physical keyboard (if you need that sort of thing), irda, wifi, flash on the camera. If you believe what Sprint says

then it will have rev. a and gps before the Touch. If any of those are must-have's for you then you can probably make a case.

I owned a Mogul for a week despite reading how many people jumped from the Mogul to the Touch and ended up in total agreement. I like the physical keyboard but I don't miss it nearly as much as I thought and the memory and overall package suits me better. -e.

It did get an update, mostly to fix things that were broken when it released it's first update

Many people jumped to the Touch at that point. They did announce that they would release an update in early Q1 08 (and maybe they should have said Q1 0

that would enable gps and also have rev a.

That rom was made "unofficially" available if you look around for it. I'm not sure they ever got rev. a proved to be working in it, but gps is working for ppl from what I last read.

I have owned both phones, and I prefer the touch. It's sleek.... it's smooth... and franky, it fits in my pocket better

. The Mogul is a sloooww phone (don't get me wrong, flashing the rom will fix this, but with that said, the only difference between the two is hardware) The Mogul has WiFi, and the Touch is bringing sexy back. That's really all there is too it.

Oh... one software difference. If you really want OZ Im, the Mogul doesnt have a hacked version (but theres a million alternatives)

im ok with the size and weight. they have pretty much the same processor so im sure any speed issues must be a software issue. so aside from the fact the touch is "sexier", the mogul is actually better?

I have had both and the deal breaker for me is the keyboard. I had the ppc 6700 too, so I have been spoiled. The mogul does have more programs and hacks out there. As far as speed, flashing to a custom rom will put them on a fairly level playing field.,..

No, the Touch has double the RAM that the Mogul has. It's not a software issue at all.

They have the same processor but the Touch has twice the RAM, allowing it to run more programs at once and more smoothly.

and what makes the mogul slower than the touch? they have the same chipsets, and i don't seem to have a problem with mine. plus i wouldn't trade my hard keyboard for anything with an interface that limits so much of what i do. and i also wouldn't want anything that runs a fever pitch for no reason in my pocket either. and despite the ram issues with the mogul, i don't run that many programs on mine, cause it kills the battery even faster regardless of the size of it.
