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

Personally Mogul is a winner for me.

Spent a week with the touch and it was hell. Most unreliable, unstable phone I have ever used. From not getting calls, to freezing, to not waking up from sleep, I was soft resetting that baby atleast 5 times a day. I am now with the mogul and life is great. It always runs smooth and is quick to respond.

Another poster said you can type 3 times as fast with the touch; not sure what they are smoking. Mogul has all the same onscreen keyboards the touch has, plus the full qwerty which simply cannot be beat on speed.

Only advantages to the Touch are the form factor (yes, its sexy), and the RAM. Personally I have yet to encounter memory issues on the mogul, and I swear the thing is twice as fast as the Touch.

If you are all about looks, get the touch. If you are serious about your phone, Mogul is the only way to go.
