Touch vs Mogul?
 

Can anyone tell me any key differences between the touch and the mogul. I had a mogul and accidentally crushed it. Now the insurance company wants to give me a touch.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

I just went through the same thing.
Ask yourself what you use your phone for? and by going by your name, I'm sure you throw in a few words in Spanish words once in a while when you're texting. If that is the case you will definitely dislike the touch. Stick with the mogul.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

The main difference is the lack of keyboard and WiFi on the touch, but it does have twice the RAM and IMO is much more stable than the mogul ever was. I would take the touch over the Mogul any day

I have the mogul and the only RAM issues that I have had is when trying to load a large game like Age of Empires, if that's the case I just kill media player, or PIE, or whatever else is running. Other than that I never run into memory problems and I have a ton of apps on my Mogul. I have a 6gig memory card which I store all my IE cache/cookies/history on and I am good to go. The built in WI-FI and keyboard are awesome..i don't use the Wi-Fi all that much but it is nice if I need to turn it into a Wi-Fi router, which has come in handy a few times already..for me I would rather have all the resources and only use them once in a while rather than have less resources and miss them...oh yeah and don't forget the Mogul has a working GPS as of right now..where I think the touch is still waiting...

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

I read that the touch has 201MH speed with 64M ram. My mogul was 400MH speed with I believe 64M ram.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

incorrect-the sprint touch and the mogul both have 400Mhz processors. Touch-128 Mb Ram
Mogul- 64 Mb Ram

This has been beat to death a million times though.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

Check this out http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=362. I also saw 128MB for tha touch on another site. But this is the htc touch site. Can htc be giving bogus info about the touch?

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

No the information is correct. There are two version of the touch. one for GSM that has 64 megs of RAm 200 mhz chip while the usa version(CDMA) has 128 Megs with a 400 MHZ chip

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

there are major differences between the gsm touch and the cdma touch, they ARE NOT Tthe same phones. The Cdma ones(i.e. sprint touch, alltel touch) have more "balls" so to speak then the gsm version.(tmobile)

thanks varaff u beat me to it

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

Take the Touch. Having had both, I can tell you the Touch is a definate step up. The Touch doesn't do GPS or Rev A right now, but it will eventually. In the meantime, the Touch has 128mb of memory so you don't have to constantly play memory manager. This being opposed to the Mogul which will never have more than that pitiful 64mb everyone constantly complains about. The Touch form is also MUCH nicer than the Mogul's...it's thinner and much lighter. Personally, it took two or three days to get used to the on-screen keyboard and now I type faster on the Touch than I did on the Mogul. Finally, wifi wasn't much faster than EVDO since the Mogul can't keep up with it. I never used it, therefore, and it was no loss whatsoever.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

This wesite also states wi-fi ability http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=362. Is that only a gsm thing also? I've read elsewhere that wi-fi in not available on the touch.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

What about the half-***** touch keypad? Is there a full qwerty keypad option out there?

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

Whoa Whoa horsey i wouldnt go throwing curve balls like that..there are MANY who prefer the mogul over the touch for a HANDFUL of reasons, and vice versa. It all depends on what fits him best. Me personally? im a diehard moguler all day!! Why? keyboard, better screen, wifi, flash, more hard keys, bigger battery, the list goes on. Not to say the touch isnt a good phone, ITS AN EXCELLENT PHONE!!! the mogul just SUITS MY NEEDS BETTER!!!

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

Hey success. What do you mean by flash?

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

The Mogul would have suited me better, too, if it had been at least as useful as the T-Mobile MDA, but they saddled last year's technology with this year's OS and threw in some intentional crippling for good measure which pretty much ruined it. You shouldn't have to do memory management on a phone, ever, and while I might be a power user, I refuse to be a slave to technology. I also bought all that stuff about the keyboard and wifi, too, until I actually used the Touch for a few days. I had the Mogul for six months but tossed it after a week with the Touch. There was no comparison.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

It really does depend on the what the users needs are...I have navigation/GPS/DVD/MP3 in one system in my car and an mp3 player for the gym so I don't necessarily need all that from my phone..those are just pluses for me.

I need my phone/email first, entertainment second. I always found it funny how people expect so much from 1 device, especially a cell phone. But to each their own.

With all that said, I'm on my 2nd Touch, 1st one was freezing up on incoming calls. If that continues I'm done with WM, I can't keep missing calls.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

I was in your same shoes too.Luckily I had the chance to play with both for 1 month each. First month was with the , second month was with a Touch. Winner was the Touch.Why? More Memory was the deal sealer.Moguls 25megs of available ram, is just not enough. Progeams crash and camera never opens when you need it because of the low ram.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

Sorry a camera flash

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

To be honest, I bought a Touch because I wasn't going to pay an ETF on all the Sprint lines because they screwed me over the Mogul. My favorite phone is a Blackberry 8800 from Vodafone. It's fast, it's easy, it does what RIM advertised it to do, the GPS worked right out of the box and the apps are java so Google Maps and Opera Mini work just fine. When Sling releases Slingplayer for it, there's a good change I'll toss the Touch, too. No more HTC for me. If a vendor that doesn't have it's collective head up it's collective *** decides to release a decent WM phone some day I'll take a look, but until then, screw it.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

I agree with Success, 100%. I think each phone is geared towards certain groups of people. For business the Mogul works great for me, it is great for reviewing documents or respond to an email, or answer a call, but that is me perosonally (will not respond to any flames). Now, with that being said, if a touch comes out with a full slide out keyboard and wifi I would think about getting it. Right now, I am lovin my Mogul, (knocks on wood) I have not had any issuse yet with it, GPS and RevA rock on the Mogul, (Turbo GPS is really cool).

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

I'm new to Sprint (Sero) and went from Touch-Centro-Mogul-Touch in the past 2 months...

At first I was new to WM so the Touch was just bizarre. Having owned and been spoiled by both iPhones and BBs before, I thought the Touch "sucked" so I exchanged it.

Centro OS was too boring. (I thought the battery life was horrendous too but that was my fault for syncing too many email accounts.)

Mogul was great, WiFi and GPS were nice but I didn't use or need them. I didn't have many memory issues or these "crashes" people speak of, but the bulky size was getting to me and it didn't seem too "new"... I do miss the keyboard though.

I sold the Mogul on eBay and bought a brand new Touch for less, now that i know WM better I love the Touch, its small and easy to use. The quality has me worried though after 3 days I have permanent dark spots on the screen! Good thing I just added insurance :)

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

im gonna post this here too:

GEEZ....Man i love my mogul, im religious to it...

BUT, I really want a smaller sleeker phone, Touch comes to mind...
Then I think about what I love about my mogul.
-I text about 4000 times a month, so a keyboard is really a main need for me(my primary method of communication lol)
-Now that I have GPS, I dont want to go without it. My new computer acts funky when it comes to USB tethering, so wmwifirouter is my only tethering solution. So i sorta need wifi
-screen is gorgeous.

Other than that, the touch can do anything the mogul can do.

Most of us mogulers have grown accustomed to mananing the moguls memory, and while we have it pretty much on lock, once you use a touch or treo 700wx, and can run as many programs as u want, and then go back to the mogul, and have to closely monitor whats running, it makes u realize that the mogul is severly bottlenecked, and to be honest, as much as I LOVE MY MOGUL, im sick of the out of memory errors and freezes and ****, even with the custom roms.
Its like us mogulers have high powered racecars in our pockets....with transmissions that cant handle the power.

Im really on the fence about switching to the touch. Am i willing to give up my keyboard for a much sleeker phone with the same functionality and more memory, and lose GPS, Wifi, and Rev A?? (i know that gps and rev a are coming to the touch)

Or do I stick it out with the mogul, and deal with the problems, and keep all of the features I love?

Man i cant decide either. Im stuck, im having more trouble with the debate, then ive ever had before.
Damn i cant wait for the curve...

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

I second Success100's opinion, i do about 2 to 3000 texts a month, and i don't see any problem with mines either since i installed the new official rom, plus i don't run that many programs on it since there's not much ram to offer. love the hard keyboard as much as anyone else on here.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

so this is where i shut the last 2 posts down by saying i text 4 to 5 thousand times a month with my touch an i KNOW i'm textin quicker that any mogul user,also with less effort (no sliding keyboard, an can text with one hand). touch only lacks wifi, in my opinion

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

its funny u said that cuz the more and more i use cooteks keyboard the better and better it gets...and im typing on both just as fast....

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

Quick question for blue4shizzle: I just switched to the Touch and have seen many posts about how fast you can end up typing on it. I'm having a hard time, are there any tutorials or tips and tricks to get me started on the soft keyboards?

P.S. - Love the location-unfortunately!

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

well, i too find this funny since you wanna treat this as a :cussing: measuring contest... that's not what we're all about, plus i baby my screen as much as the rest of my beloved device (still has no scratches, and no NO i don't finger my screen... lmfaorotf... plus i'm getting a black housing for it for $55). it may offer less in one area, but it gets the job done regardless of anyone's judgment.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

go to cooktek.com

and the reason i bring up my textin point is because people always claim missing a hardware keyboard is crucial for the touch and i think that's a load of crap, i've had both an a keyboard is nice but not a necessity, i wouldn't trade the touch for a keyboard, i mean look at all the iphone owners.. you think they would want a keyboard? and when i say faster textin i mean all together, typing speed along with overall speed from when you pull out your phone to do it and put it back in your pocket

also if you have a mogul and touchpal, t then it defeats the purpose in my opinion lol, just get a touch, why have a hardware keyboard but instal an on screen one?

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

because its not always convienient to slide it open, such as while driving,
and its nice to have both, so with that being said my dear friend,

having both is not counter productive

im really thinking about trying a touch, but i dont wanna open up a second line, or sell my mogul. nor do i wanna buy a touch and then hate it....GEE.. i wish someone had an extra one to donate to me as a late bday/christmas gift.....

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

oh trust me, once you try a touch.. that mogul will seem less important lol, honestly the only thing that would keep you hanging on to that mogul is the rom update, after the touch gets theirs..its game over lol

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

hows about a capital N-O... i tried a touch, and that thing is an absolute mess in my pocket (a high azz fever pitch, and i ain't having it for $500+).

if there's anything that hurts more than anything anyone has gone throughout their lives, it's the truth. and i have no complaints about what i got at all... oh, i have a good place for the touch once i get it... a guinea pig's cage. :twisted:

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

lol, sure man..it's funny how i usually hear about mogul owners switching to a touch, compared to me rarely hearing touch owners going to the mogul, prime example, chantell lol

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

chantelle got hers on an insurance claim, lol it wasnt by choice....

anyways i agree with both of yall...i cant make a decision

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

i beg to differ, cody was the first, and he's not a prime example, he's a recipient. and don't take us mogulers as idiots either, cause we do get the job done as well as anyone else on here. this is getting kind of redundant, and jay said it best... men lie, women lie, numbers don't. i do my homework like some of the more fundamentally sound members on here. you're starting to sound like Stephen A. Smith to me... lol

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

not by choice, but wouldn't go back if she had the chance hehe

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

she actually told me the day b4 yesterday that she hated it...but was starting to get used to it....

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

im not sure ... i now have a touch and a mogul here in front of me.. im actually kinda liking the mogul better so far. but i am worried about certain things like memory and bluetooth etc... i HATE the size of the touch myself some people love how small it is but i find it hard at times with my fingers to get things to actually function right when touching them if there is anything close to what im touching. i work on cars all day so my fingernails are always worn down and my fingers are not so small..

i do like the speed of the touch and the way it handles apps better though. but i would have to get used to the whole stylus deal..

i have to pick one then send the other back and im so torn between the two right now.. i do think id miss that awesome keyboard on the mogul but i like to load in a lot of apps i like and im afraid ill be out of room fast on the mogul...

arghhhh

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

Hey Blue4,
Thanks for the response, but maybe it's me, the cooktek.com brings up a cookware site. I typed it in and cut and pasted. Any help.

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

pcdok, its cootek.com

but anyways, like other im on the fence about keeping the touch or going back to my mogul. I LOVE the touch, but im affraid ill miss the keyboard, well i have 10 days to decide so ill play with the touch for a while! The touch is fast and typing on the screen with the touchpal (cootek) is really not that hard ive only had the phone for less than 24 hours and amgetting the hang of it. like everything it takes getting used to. onces the touch gets rev.a and GPS the touch will rule. but im still afraid ill miss the keyboard. I also text about 3000-4000 a month. but i think the speed of the touch will make up for the lack of the keyboard

Re: Touch vs Mogul?
 

thanks jbaker, got it.
