For what it's worth, I couldn't go back to a device with less RAM then the Touch has. I've got sooo many more programs on this device then my last PPC. I agree that WiFi would be nice but I'm good with EVDO Rev 0 for now. My Touch is also very stable, hardly ever reset or anything. One bad thing is the bluetooth which is total marginally working garbage but the Mogul may be the same.

gps and rev A will come to use soon enough too. The hard part is done the API and drivers are written. All they have to do is slap them into a Touch ROM really since its the same hardware.

i have a feeling the " update" on the touch is going to be so simple lol.. just a simple .cab an boom GPS is on ..

I keep reading all the stories on Mogul hard resets ect..

Patient is the key..

I'm thinking about going back to the mogul. I have had 2 touch's get dark spots on the screen and its not cool. I also experienced (for the first time today), the phone erasing or not displaying the contents of my SD card.

Are you kidding? This is the best phone I've ever had out of the box. I can't live without a WM phone, so no Blackberry, Palm or anything else can replace my Touch.

i agree.. seems people are just upset, they can get what they want lol.. Everybody know in few months or even days the update will be there for gps.
honestly to me the screen is mad small to really focus on driving an lookin at the gps.. I only see my self using a gps if i am trully lost .. But there is no way i will drive an try to focus on a little screen .. Just my person peace of mind..

I was thinking of using my mogul that I let my pops use but after setting up the official rom for him and playing with it, I got that thought out of my system fast. I now type faster with touch pal. I just gave my Apache to my sis and I kinda miss that bad boy. Sling/orb sure does look good on it.

Mine doesn't lock up at all and is running official ROM (except I skipped extended ROM junk).

Works as advertized.

I look forward to GPS, could care less about REV-A. Network speed is generally not the bottleneck.

i disagree..network speed is everything, depending on what you want to do, like slingin or sprint tv in low signal areas. Also the latency is much lower with RevA, and that makes a huge difference...and then there is tethering....

No way I will go back to the mogal even with the REv A and GPS. I'm willing to wait. The Touch is just so way better. It fits in my pocket. It doesn't lock up. I don't worry about having memory to install programs. It is much more resposive than the mogal.

I figured after the GPS and Rev A update I would put a cooked rom and maybe it would speed it up some?

If I did lots of texting or needed wifi I would think about going back to the mogal. Actually if it had more memory and didn't have BT problems yea...
