The only reason the touch has more ram is becuz of all the extra crap on top of the OS. I went to sprint today to have my mogul fixed and while I was there I was playing with the touch. On a fresh reset the mogul had 33mb already used! The touch has pros and cons to the mogul. They had to make the mogul and touch different hardware wise so there would be a destinction between the 2 devices. a phone company won't release 2 phones that do the samething. It would defeat the whole purpose of having 2 different ppc. I hope I am making sense LOL

I did the same thing i went to the sprint store also to mess around with the touch to see what it was all about. I was thiniking of taking the plunge just because of the touch having more ram and people saying the bluetooth was better. Well after messing around with it for a while i decided that i like my mogul just a little bit better.

One reason is because i like having the keboard. I text entierly to much not to have it and it would be a pain to be with out it.

The extra ram on the touch is nice and it makes the device snappy but im not one of those guys who does everything on my phone. I have no need to have more than 3-4 apps open at a time and the mogul's ram is just enuff to do what i like. Now when they come out with the updates at the end of this month and the 1Q of next year maybe all of the moguls issuses will be resolved except for the extra ram. We'll see.

In the meanwhile i'll continue to enjoy my mogul and to each his own. Just figure out whats best for you and form your opinion on your own, not based on what someone else would say.

The benefit of 128 ram is, you can leave your program opened. Then next time you open them, they open really fast. For example, I always keep my player open, my email client open, my picture viewer open, my explorer open, ms live maps open. So then phone feel faster since it don need freshly open my most us programs. You cannot this with t mogul, cus i will lag the whole phone down and make feel like a slow old dog.

I currently own a Mogul, having switched from Verizon (6 years) just to get the Mogul because Verizon was behind IMO on phone technology. I've had the Mogul since the first day it was available for the general public in Sprint Stores and love the phone. It's everything I think the 6700 was not, and everything I expected the 6800 to be.

I've been reading these Touch v Mogul threads for a few days now and they got me a little excited about the Touch so I started to do a little research. First I installed the Touch keyboard to see if I could actually live with an on screen keyboard. I made myself use it for two days, and although I can use it just fine in either keyboard or keypad mode, it's not what I would call productive and even if I could learn to use it faster, it would never be faster than the hardware qwerty on the mogul. That aside I decided to go to the store today and see if the other features would make that an ok trade off and it's not. The cube is eye candy, the only useful thing about it is the contact screen, and Windows Mobile already has a contact manager as well as voice dialing. What about the awesome TouchFLO technology? Buggy. I used the flick scrolling in 4 or 5 different ways (contacts, IE etc) and in each one I could not get it to work reliably. In IE it would hit the end of a page and endlessly bounce untill I stopped it and in the contact manager it could not tell the difference between a flick and a press half the time.

The phone is cool and has cutting edge features for a WM6 platform. IMO it is not better than the Mogul though because the execution just doesn't work. I'm sticking with my Mogul.

Not sure if this helps but, HTc is coming out with another version of the touch caled the dual. sliding keyboard like the mogul
just my 2cents worth

there is no ATT version of the Touch. There is a unlock GSM version, or international branded versions.

The GSM version has built in wifi.

The Sprint Touch does take the Micro SD Wifi card... I've heard people on Howard Forums mentioning they purchased it and it worked. The only drawback is that you can't use your storage card while having the Wifi card in.




Pause, why do people that "Try" out the Touch act like the built-in keyboards is your only option??? So far, I took Etheral's advice and installed the SPB full screen and some other Free fullscreen keyboard and truely those were the best options ever as far as typing.


I have PocketCM-K, Happy Tapping /w iPhone Skin, PDAMedia Fullscreen Keyboard, and SPB Full-Screen Keyboard. I switch between those and the built-in ones based on my mood and task. I use to hate sliding out my mogul keyboard... felt so "Sidekick-ish".

its not a full QWERTY keyboard, its a double tap like the built-in on screen keyboard. So far there's only a GSM version and you can purchase it on ebay or several sites.

I played with a Touch at Best Buy today, and boy I am sold. The double RAM alone convinced me! Everything is so snappy, even on WM6. The keyboard isn't that big a problem anymore since it does indeed type fast, and I plan to replace the default 2-tap with the PocketCM keyboard (iPhone-esque, very neat). The form factor, wow it is at least half as thick as my Mogul. I can tell the surface was simply an extra layer over the default touch screen, and a stylus does still work although you don't really need to use one. The demo unit at the store was running like 20 apps, and even then it was faster than my Mogul with WM5.

Completely sold. Unless you absolutely need a hard keyboard or WiFi or you just like thick phones that slide, Touch FTW!

One thing about playing with the phones in the store is that you only get a partial appreciation of what the device is capable of.

Let's face it, the time spent playing with it in a store is no where near the same as sitting home with it and actually using it for longer than 10 minutes.

I read somewhere that the Touch is a finished product and the Mogul is still in beta. Although I laughed til my sides hurt regarding the anology, when the laughter subsided I couldnt have said it better myself.

I am not here to talk anyone into getting a Touch and throwing your Mogul down an elevator shaft. I feel it is really dependent upon your cash and your needs. For me, the Mogul was a true disaster and I am thrilled to have a phone that works as expected out-the-box.

Info from retention rep.
 

I'm not posting this to start a flame war, but I just got off the phone with a sprint retention rep that acknowledged the Mogul was rushed to replace the 6700 that was problem stricken, therefore the reliability is questionable, however, the new updates should solve some of the known problems, hopefully.
