I'd like to move to a newer model, but it takes months for the normal initial release bugs to be fixed. I still get better tethering speeds with my mogul than with the diamond (haven't tried the pro though), so I think I'm going to wait some more before saying good bye.

Please tell me you're not moving on to an iPhone. That'd be like dumping a gorgeous Harvard grad for britney spears.

at this point i'm not sure the tp is that much better for me. I was going to sell my titan to my buddy for $100 but, i am keeping it as my 2nd line for now :P

Re: Goodbye Mogul
 
The TP is kinda calling my name too, honestly. The only things that are keeping me from getting one are the ungodly price & the fact that the keyboard slides out the other way. That would drive me NUTS. I am so used to my titan & so OCD that it would bug the hell outta me.

since you mention the kb opening the other way, it's worth mentioning that if you aren't careful, when you go to type you can turn off the phone hahaha

they placed the on/off button on the top left of the device. before it used to be on the right side right. Well, while it works well so the case doesn't turn on the phone, now txting could turn it off! arrrrg

Me too. F@#$ Sprint, F&^% this Mogul, hello BB Storm. I shouldn't have to spend a year of chopping, splicing, resetting, flashing and kicking a phone to make it usable.

I only stumbled upon this thread in search of a solution to yet another problem. Done.

I still have my Titan. That device and I went through so much I could never get rid of it. I did go Touch pro, and dont regret it. Switching to a blackberry would be like coming out of the closet :D

WHAT??? Ghey. I hate poor designs like that. Oh well, I guess that means more time in paradise with the BEST phone I've EVER had!

LOL! I agree. No offense to anyone, honestly, but I always thought that people who went from TRUE smartphones, PPCs, Treos, etc., to Blackberries(or iPhones, aaargh!) were either too dumb or too lazy to handle them. Like "WTF I have to DO STUFF? This phone SUCKS!" NOT that I'm saying anyone on HERE is like that, that's just the impression I got from a lot of BB defectors. We got a lot of people like that on the Treo forums when I had all my various Treos.

I know people love Blackberries cause they "just work" or whatever, but there's a reason you always see airhead celebrities like Britney & Paris with them. They're idiot-proof, and it doesn't require any thinking to operate them. I will never understand the mentality of "This thing is too complicated, gimme a Blackberry!" I guess if you're happy with a phone you can't tweak, can't install stuff on, and can only personalize to a certain degree, a BB is fine, but I'd much rather deal with a few very minor flaws in an awesome device that I can COMPLETELY customize. That's what I love about my Titan(besides that it's named after a moon)- I can do ANYTHING with it. It's a mini-computer.

If you just CANNOT make your smartphone work properly, regardless of what kind it is, YOU are doing something wrong. Not trying to be a bee-yotch or anything but if an autistic freak like me(not joking!) can figure these things out, surely you Normies can.

End rant. I'll shutup now.

Altho I agree with the sprint part, let me warn you from exper... the bb storm sucks @ss. Now my contract expires in june, sprint better have the omnia by then or you will be talking to a verizon customer in july!

Re: Goodbye Mogul
 
yeah typing on that BB storm is really hard.(tried er out at the store) When you touch the screen the whole thing goes down as a button so you feel the click or whatever.. So you almost have to do 1 finger typing, if you try to use 2 fingers you have to go so slow to wait for the screen to pop up from the first letter pressed it makes typing really hard.

I'd go touch pro personally since its very similar to the titan but faster.. BUT as I have a year left on my contract I can hope for something worked FROM the TP but even better. :)

hahahaha you're cracking me up dude! yah it is non-hetero that they fooked up some things, but it is hetero that they fixed others.

It would be good to understand though, that everyone is different. The same argument has been made for many things, especially unix/linux and windows (forget mac lol). Windows are for people who just want things to "work." If you want a crazy system, that does whatever you can imagine, you run unix/linux. It's much harder to learn and much more harder to master. But like our phones Vs. a flip phone, when you max out both there is no comparison.

All i'm saying is that there's something for everyone :P :P

oh and funny you should bring up the linux vs. windows thing, I have a friend, a recent ex that I dumped for being an elitist ***-hat, who's calling me a n00b cause I went back to windows after linux. I posted a big rant on my myspace directed at him about why I did it, and I admitted the biggest reason is that im lazy & don't feel like screwing with it all the time to make stuff work. so of course now im no longer 1337. screw him, he smelled anyway. I LIKE linux, I found it very easy to use & was able to pick it up in a day or 2, but I have too many programs that I use that wouldn't run under wine, so I had to go back.

I guess people do have reasons other than stupidity for doing things the easy way, lolz....

Re: Goodbye Mogul
 
Honestly, you can assume all you want, but I am not the source of this handset's problems. It was a rushed, half-***** device from the beginning, running a buggy and out-dated OS. What a great combination.

It's all well and nice that I can customize and program this piece of garbage all I want, but in the end, that's all it is, a flashy piece of ****. I shouldn't have to reset a phone multiple times a day to get it to work. I'm not a fanboy, a Mac guy, or a trend follower. I just expect that when I pay over $300 for something, it should do its f^%&ing job.

Perhaps I'm not seeing it in the correct light, whatever. If you like spending your hours trying to get picture mail to work on your 10 pound, brick phone, more power to you. I'm simply fed up with it. I may not get a BB, but if I do, at least I will know that it won't freeze while it charges, that it will actually recognize letters when I type them, that it won't lag when polling the towers so much that I miss calls, etc. etc.

Fin.

that's refreshing! someone being honest lol

Well i agree, and that's why i don't use wine because it fooks up too much. i don't know for certain if it's a good or bad thing, but we really need both!

So i'm happy with bsd and xp, works for me! except apple, they copied BSD :P lolllllllll :headbang:

I honestly think you must have gotten a defective one if you had that many problems, cause that is certainly NOT the average user experience with these. Even when they first came out, back when I worked at Radio Shack, everyone that came in with one raved about how much they loved it. I couldn't afford one back then(probably cause I worked at friggin RADIO SHACK), but the demo model I played with had no issues.

Picture mail has always worked instantly & perfectly for me, I've VERY rarely had a random missed call, and mine has never frozen while charging. In fact, the mogul is one of the most stable & well-designed phones I've ever had. And I've had a LOT of phones, both smart & not. Wierd. The only times I ever have problems is if I install a piece of software that doesn't play nice, and that's not the phone's fault but the developer's.

Thank you! Finally someone agrees with me. I think a lot of the linux geeks out there only use linux out of their hatred for microsoft. My ex made the switch to 100% ubuntu just so he could say he used no microsoft products. D-bag. Something about name *****s just makes my blood boil. "If its made by so & so it MUST be bad!" I don't care WHO makes it, good software is good software & dammit I LIKE windows. Unless you're a total idiot it's not that hard to keep from getting viruses & spyware. Haven't had either in years :)
