Poll on Touch vs Mogul

[dzuchowski]

I am getting my Touch this week and wanted to see what some people think about the Touch vs Mogul. I placed the same poll in the Titan area and wanted to see what each group thinks.... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=29873

I think the Touch is better because it has more ram and is thinner then the mogul.

But can I say my 2 cents? 1st of all, I want to congratulate mr. dzu for being smarter now and getting the Touch. U will not regret it. here's my take on the topic. Having a device without keyboard and wi-fi is not really a big deal for me and for many other owners simply because this capabilities can be done in a different method. Keyboard can be done on screen. U will not lose keyboard at all. 1 thing u will gain is U will become a faster glass thumbtyper. If U are already a fast hard keyboard typer, Well U got another skill coming up. Wi-Fi, It is nice to have one but since Touch have A custom rom that will enable rev a, It is not so much big advantage anymore. Most ppc plans have Unlimited data plans anyways so having connected with a free WiFI is not an advantage at all. I don't know any reason why are U gonna use ur Wi-Fi at home with ur mogul if U have access to ur laptop or desktop. Why surf with a small screen at home? How about when on the go? U can tether anyways using USB or BT if U want it wirelessly. But If U really really want to broadcast ur Wi-Fi for ur laptop on the go, U can get cradle point for ur touch or any other PPC that is not capable to broadcast their Internet. So U can still broadcast Wi-Fi with ur touch for just little over a hundred bucks. Now, About the ram, This is a big advantage for the Touch because there is no way U can add ram to the mogul. no reg hacks, No mod chips, No settings config to have atleast a virtual ram to add more ram to the mogul. Nothing,nada,zero kaput. In a fast phased technological advances, Every new apps that we put on our device demands more power and demands more ram and demands more battery life. So, I'll just go for the device than can handle it better. I guess 128mb can do twice 64mb if U do that math. Ultimately, any device is only as good as how the user utilize it's potential. U can have a huge ram but if U dont use it, It's pointless. I hope my 2 cents make sense to U. Thanks

Jethro has some good points. Both of theses phones have there goods and bads (mongul being more good then bad) yes ram is important, but how much do you need? there is plenty of ram on the mongul to do what ever you want, and i bet there is not a person out there that has a touch that can say there phone can do more because they have more ram? So what is it that makes the mongul better? WI-FI! WI-FI is the way to go. Yes both phones are able to get internet connectoin from the cellular company, but what happens when your not getting that connection? and with all the wi-fi spots popping up, pretty soon i wont need to go threw the cellular company to even get a internet connection, Hell they are every where and most are free!! (why im i still paying for the internet service on my phone!!) even McD's has a wi fi spot. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. so to finish up my point, you can either get a phone with a keyboard and wi-fi signal or you can get a phone with neither. THATS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE between the two.

hate to break it to you but sprint will no longer activate a pda (windows Mobile, palm, black berry etc) with out a data plan on your phone.... also you say Mcdonalds has wi-fi which is true but it is not free. Star bucks is not free unless u have an att mobility account and an Iphone, but then you only get 2 hours of free wifi per day. I run alot of programs dashwire, divx, flash, htc home, windows live, yahoo go 3, adobe reader, jive im, camara assistent, audio manger, opera, ie, tele nav, ms voice command, streaming media, and i need more ram, you can never have enough, on my laptop i got 4gb and i want 1tb ....

Ram Is important, so your bet would be completely wrong. There are plenty of people including myself who have had crashes and software wont open because RAM is too low and moved to a Touch and had zero of those issues. Sure too much is a waste, but the Moguls is simply too low. also WIFI isnt everything nor makes a phone better.

i dont ever use the wifi and only now and then use the keyboard. i usually use the screen as i dont have to wait for the screen to redraw when i use the keyboard.

I have all those programs and more, and have never ran into a problem with low memory, do you really need to run them all at the same time? and yes there are alot of places that do charge you for the wi-fi but many more that dont. I know that there is alot of cellular companies that want to say " hey if you get this phone you have to have a internet plan", but thats b.s. if you buy your phone at retail cost or get one off ebay you can have it activate without going onto one of those plans and most of the time you can do a service agreement and still not have to stay with the internet plan. so yes agian WI-FI IS IMPORTANT, maybe not as much at this time, but in time it will be.
