Touch or Mogul, undecisive!

[Musicman247]

Depends on what you want out of your phone.

Go Mogul if you want:
-tactile feedback when typing
-flash with your camera
-the option of Wifi
-to HAVE to have a memory manager program (may be fixed with ROM in '08 )
-to HAVE to reset every few days b/c of memory leaks (may be fixed with ROM in '08 )
-sometimes functional Bluetooth (may be fixed with ROM in '08 )
-to have only enough memory to run a couple of programs at a time
-lots of physical buttons to open programs easily

Go with the Touch if you want:
-the latest thing
-small form factor
-lots and lots of memory
-working Bluetooth (out of the box)
-HTC apps that everybody wants pre-installed
-one-handed text entry (out of the box)

Personally from my experience (4 months w/the Mogul, 1 week w/the Touch) I prefer the Touch. Having all that memory is just amazing when compared to the hoops I had to jump through to make my Mogul work consitently. I don't miss the hard buttons now that I know how to customize the HTC Cube and have the HTC Home Plugin. I rarely used Wifi, and most of the time when I tried it didn't work anyway. I was always accidentally opening my keyboard on the Mogul, causing it to go into fits switching from Portait to Landscape and back (each taking 5-10 seconds). The solid body is just easier to handle, and since it is small it's a joy to use! The whole asthetic value is so much higher with the Touch. It's like a work of art.

I've been frequenting the Mogul and Touch forums and have this to say about each:

The people on the Mogul forum are talking about 3 things: 1) how to get a Touch 2) how to make their Moguls function like a touch & 3) how many problems their Mogul has

The people on the Touch forum are talking about: 1) customizing their great phone 2).... um, I think that's pretty much it! There are so few threads about problems, it's like the community is supposed to be, writing programs, helping each other customize, etc...

So, for me it's the Touch (or Vogue if you wan to be specific) that wins. Other people will have varying opinions. But make sure you do research yourself first, and think real hard before pulling that trigger.
