New Guy Here Mogul vs. Touch

nordy · #1 (**permalink**) 02-24-2008, 02:31 PM

From what I have read both of these seem to be sweet phones. I am currently w/ T-mobile, I am considering switching to sprint to get one of these. I am not sure which one to get. When I compared them on sprint's site it said that the mogul does not have a memory card slot! If that's true then how would I ever expand memory and storage?

Thanks guys

get the touch its very easy to type on I thought I needed the keyboard but I don't. The touch has plenty of built in storage and memory and overall is a much more enjoyable to have...alot less memory management. Overall the touch is the way to go you wont regret it

The Mogul does have a Memory card slot... It takes MicroSD.

Between both the touch which I have and the Mogul I personally like the Mogul because of the Keyboard... I could not get used to typing with the OnScreen keyboard so I gave the touch to my wife..

The Mogul by HTC does come with a 512mb MicroSD card!!! Just a thought, also I love the phone is the best one so far.

i think you should go with the touch as well, and i've worked with each phone and to answer that keyboard question, its not that big a deal, and you will easily find that with the touch you can text 3 times as fast as you could with the mogul.. the only advantage i see for the mogul is wifi, other than that the touch kills it, speed, memory, twice as slim, more stylish, i think if you get your hands on both devices you will see what i'm talking about.. the touch is a all around great phone

I wouldn't buy phone without WIFI.

dont get me wrong... wifi is nice.. well extremely nice haha, but when you factor in some of the buggy issues with the mogul and the often freeze ups which require a soft reset, in which the touch doesnt have.. plus it flies.. id say if you live in an area that has evdo active... then you wont really need wifi because the evdo speeds will satisfy you enough to where you could care less about wifi.. not to mention rev A is right around the corner

EVDO will be usless if you travel to Europe
and expensive if you goto Mexico

I have them both..

Personally Mogul is a winner for me.

Its about the form factor, I had to go with the mogul and quite frankly I love it very much. I email and text quite often and I just don't see how the touch would provide any advantage without the keyboard. Wifi is another thing that I think is pretty good to have just in case. A few years ago I was on the island of St. Croix where I stayed at a hotel on a remote part of the island with no service, but the entire hotel had wifi all around so my 6700 still came through for me. So when I upgraded wifi and keyboard was must. Just go to a sprint store and spend some time with both phones to see which one will be better for your needs.
