i just got the phone yesterday and NO complaints whatsoever!! the keyboard is AWESOME!!!!! the left and right soft keys on the keyboard are not forgotten by me!!!the little d-pad thingy is PERFECT! not too sensitive, not too hard!! i had the 6700 before this one. and i love that it has a little thingy to put a charm or whatever its called, a little strapy thing. AWESOME PHONE!! whoever says or thinks otherwise are weird.
I'm one of those "who don't know" so I appreciate the mini tutorial. I'll be buying this phone next week and this will be my first PDA phone. (I know, I'm about 8 years late but it's all G) I'll hit u up if I've got questions after the fact (If you don't mind...)
I was just referring to the keyboard. The Sk3 is great for me, which is why I decided to go for it. It's not made for everyone, but it has everything I need and I'm very happy with it.
The 2 "dash" buttons on the upper corners of the keyboard. They are from "non-touch-screen" phones used to hit like "calendar" and "contacts", etc. He was right! You didn't even notice them!
Does the keyboard have a backlight so in the dark you can see the keys? I have the 6700 currently and my Verizon version of it has the lit keyboard, while the similar TMobile version does not have backlighting.
well i work for sprint. thank you, im still learning about the phones we have, this dose help quite a bit i have been working for sprint since feburary. let me know if you have any on the treo models
thanx, im getting this for a friend so i just needed to know how much it was. i don't know if she has a contract but the other one had a sprint account too. im still confused, but thanx ^_^
This response is for the more MATURE viewers out there.... I was debating on getting the Mogul. This helped out alot. I even went to the Sprint store and played with one, but this video helped out alot. Can I expect to find videos like these on more upcoming phones? That would be great.
I've had the Mogul for 2 years now and still currently rockin' with it for now LoL. It's not bad once you upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 it works better. I had to order a 4gig memory card because the memory card it comes with is weak. I've downloaded all my apps + all my songs onto the 4 gig memory card and it works fine. I wouldn't recommend buying this phone now because it's one of HTC's first phones and they now have way better phones on the market, like the Touch Pro 2 and the Hero.
of course the phone is big, its a SMARTPHONE, not a regular cell. im getting it soon so im pretty excited. the only thing bad i heard is that it cant send pictures to other cell phones.
i have te mogul model and i love it my brother got the touch and a week later changed it for the mogul the same happened to my boss he end it up with a different model the touch keys are pretty small. thats the main concern of most people ive known that tried it. i would just go for the mogul. not the best battery life though specially if you buy extra software to improve the main menu looking.
I'm having the same problem with this phone now bro, it just keeps freezing on me for no reason at all. It freezes sometimes when a call comes in and that pissed me off. I have insurance on the phone but I don't want the same phone, I'm going to try and get the HTC Touch Pro soon as it comes out.
Good point. I'm still concerned about the limited access being given to 3rd party venders on this phone. I wish Jobs had done something to isolate the phone cpu from the apps use of it...something UNIX is quite good at. But maybe we'll see a plethora of webpage apps fill the gap.
I use to have sprint didnt like it much so I switch to tmobile and let me tell u i like it more then sprint (my opinion)well the thing is I was thinking bout gettin the wing which look just like this phone but instead I got a blackjack from my buddy he unlock it for me cuz he been with at&t for awhile so all i did was pop my sim in and and change a few features and i was good to go now im thinkink about gettin an iphone and unlock it.
great phone/device I paid $100 for there is an upgrade on the htc site now and there will be another one so you so you can havepicture mail and sprint tv I can't wait for that cause I do miss my sprint tv
how much is it when i go in the store? because i know it won't be the $300 its listed at. i bought the touch for a friend and the same sources say its $250-300 when it was in fact $450-500. thanx for any help/info i think it will prob be around $600 when it comes down to it.
After 3 visits to the Sprint Store, and 2 software upgrades, the technician finally realized the phone is defective. So finally the representative tells me what I told her to do on my first visit. She tells me they are going to order me a new phone but they don't go out of model, witch means I couldn't get the Touch Pro. I would have had to pay for it, and right now I just don't have it. So I have a brand new Mogul with the latest Software update, and now the phone works much better!!
Well now with the Windows 6.1 Software upgrade, my Mogul phone actually works 100 times better. I purchased a 4G Memory Card on Ebay for more memory. I've also added TouchFlo2D witch is almost identical to TouchFlo3D, the same software the HTC Touch Pro uses. So basically with a few upgrades and modifications, the Mogul can be a very good phone, but considering that fact that you can buy the Touch Pro for about the same price, you should go with the Touch Pro and make sure you add insurance.
If you really want the Mogul, it's a good smart phone, just make sure you tell the representative at Sprint to give you the latest software upgrade the same day you purchase it. The upgrade will give you Windows Mobile 6.1 You don't really have to download all the extras. I just did it because I like using TouchFlo. The phone comes standard with a 512MB Memory Card, I upgraded to a 4G because I download music to my phone, so I needed more memory. Why wouldn't you get the Internet?
you can just tell sprint that another phone company will give you a phone with the same features for a lower price and maybe they can do sometype of arrangement with you thats what i did and i got it for half price $250. that was a pretty good deal
1. I have no idea, but there isn't a sim card so I don't think so. 2. Yes you can change the background, it's sweet. 3. I only paid 200 dollars for mine. I think they're like 549.00 if you're a current customer...It's a lot. It's worth it though, I fucking love the thing.
Too bad the fucken Keyboard to my Touch Pro died on me about a month ago. i had my Mogul and was really good except for when running many programs. Just load a new custom rom and it will perform better
why the hell would i pay and ungodly amount of money for the i phone when in 6 months there just going to upgrade it just like they do with the ipods. ya ill wait a good year before i even think about buying the iphone. Cant wait till this phone is out for verizon. love my 6700
lol not really. she just needed a phone, so i helped out. i do admit that most wouldnt do it though, well not unless something were recieved in exchange. but im silly so no worries :D
anything I sucks. There are about 3 other brands of Mp3 players that are better. Iphone to PPC is what Mac is to PC..It looks beautiful..visually stunning...but just cannot do as much!!
I have the canadian version (from Telus) and I hapen to like it a lot Dpad and all. My only question is why does the reviewer sound like a robot...was he reading from a sheet.
Sheesh folks, keep it real. I want actual information, not a juvenile argument about iphone versus htc. Both are impressive, both have advantages, and drawbacks. My biggest frustration is small screensize, as I actually want to "write/read/draw things" on a portable machine. Noone seems to want to buy such machines, and seem to like the itsy bitsy screens... Apple: big screen, big memory HTC: cheaper, memory sticks. Try to not be so d***d "know-it-all" gents.

Still got it?
I had this phone and I miss it so much. It was a boss device.
I'm one of those "who don't know" so I appreciate the mini tutorial. I'll be buying this phone next week and this will be my first PDA phone. (I know, I'm about 8 years late but it's all G) I'll hit u up if I've got questions after the fact (If you don't mind...)

exact same problems here, i wish i could go back to the BB. I will say that i do like the touchscreen which is what BB should offer
in stores around july..on the site as of today.
came out today (june 18th) over the web and telesales, but comes out in stores in july
The 2 "dash" buttons on the upper corners of the keyboard. They are from "non-touch-screen" phones used to hit like "calendar" and "contacts", etc.

yea should i upgrade to da touch or mogul????
im thinkin da mogul 4 da key pad but idk
of course the phone is big, its a SMARTPHONE, not a regular cell.
im getting it soon so im pretty excited. the only thing bad i heard is that it cant send pictures to other cell phones.
how is the camera? is the shutter speed anything like the sanyo m1?
Ha Ha almost a year later and the sprint mogul is one of the hands down best windows mobile phone on the market today!! Take that phone scoop!!
u could be a high school teacher.....ur voice puts everyone to sleep
heyyyy, im cleveland, and im going to review the HTC mogulll...
hmmmm
What about the bee! That was even better!
Good review
Does anyone know if SMS are displayed in a "chat" like the Treo or just regular messages?
Touch if you want to "back-pocket" it and use handwriting reconnition software.
Mogul if you want a utility belt and use a keyboard.
yes it can. its a bit more complicated tho. this is a big improvement from the 6700 tho. i have a 6800 but my touchscreen stopped working : (
when did this phone come out?
Does this phone have AIM? If yes, how is it? Do you get the message right away like the sidekick or is there a Delay?
An impressive review. Better than CNET's for what that is worth. I'll check out your site.
i have te mogul model and i love it my brother got the touch and a week later changed it for the mogul the same happened to my boss he end it up with a different model the touch keys are pretty small. thats the main concern of most people ive known that tried it. i would just go for the mogul. not the best battery life though specially if you buy extra software to improve the main menu looking.
can aybody tell me how long does it record for videos?
mines came with msn messenger. it even has voice record in the messenger.
I'm having the same problem with this phone now bro, it just keeps freezing on me for no reason at all. It freezes sometimes when a call comes in and that pissed me off. I have insurance on the phone but I don't want the same phone, I'm going to try and get the HTC Touch Pro soon as it comes out.
on my htc touch it just lets you know the phone is on when its "sleeping"
Good point. I'm still concerned about the limited access being given to 3rd party venders on this phone. I wish Jobs had done something to isolate the phone cpu from the apps use of it...something UNIX is quite good at. But maybe we'll see a plethora of webpage apps fill the gap.
sprint hasnt completely blocked everything cuz i just sent pics today and have been doing it for the last month.
I use to have sprint didnt like it much so I switch to tmobile and let me tell u i like it more then sprint (my opinion)well the thing is I was thinking bout gettin the wing which look just like this phone but instead I got a blackjack from my buddy he unlock it for me cuz he been with at&t for awhile so all i did was pop my sim in and and change a few features and i was good to go now im thinkink about gettin an iphone and unlock it.
does this have infared?
so is that the 6800 or the 6700?
How come? I'm thinking of switching my Q9c for the Mogul, but comments like yours scare me off... Could you elaborate?
great phone/device I paid $100 for there is an upgrade on the htc site now and there will be another one so you so you can havepicture mail and sprint tv I can't wait for that cause I do miss my sprint tv
Great review, probably tipped the scales for me
I know lol I love looking at these things like this. So many buttons!!!
I have a Sidekick 3, no comparison as far as the keyboard goes.
touch or this one?
hit the unlock button on the bottom left and then press unlock when prompted.
What's wrong with a touchscreen? It's a more intuitive interface, from my experience.
how much are you selling it for?
how much is it when i go in the store? because i know it won't be the $300 its listed at. i bought the touch for a friend and the same sources say its $250-300 when it was in fact $450-500. thanx for any help/info
i think it will prob be around $600 when it comes down to it.
I love my phone(same as this one) and I have had it for a year now. It do so much and I have dropped my phone so much and it is still working.
you cant insert sim card???

yeah the voice sounds very automated LOL
i know how how to send pixs and flix but has anyone fihured out how to watch youtube on the mogul the links for this on this site are all invalid
Nice hands and fingers
he'd be great for documentaries don't ya think?
why is that?

i have this phone but when im on the internet i cant watch videos on youtube.. can someone help me plzzzz
If you really want the Mogul, it's a good smart phone, just make sure you tell the representative at Sprint to give you the latest software upgrade the same day you purchase it. The upgrade will give you Windows Mobile 6.1

dang. wise advice, consider me persuaded
Looks nice, but I hate the 6700 keyboard and this doesn't look a whole lot better
Yeah, I still think the SK3 is the best, I've used plenty of qwerty phone keypads and in my opinion it's the best out there
1. I have no idea, but there isn't a sim card so I don't think so.
2. Yes you can change the background, it's sweet.
3. I only paid 200 dollars for mine. I think they're like 549.00 if you're a current customer...It's a lot. It's worth it though, I fucking love the thing.
this phone is sweet im getting mine bt its flashed to metro pcs.
i cant wait to get this, my contract is expired and my treo is on E...upgrade! lol
"chances are you wont even remember they're there and end up hitting the screen" What?
no it cant be unlocked bc it does not have a sim card and neither does verizon
The Sofware upgrade is free, as long as you have insurance on the phone.
You can get the phone for $99.99 on a 2 yr contract, just ordered mine today :)
SAME HERE!!
pooping on your phone is worse, it gets all slippery and you cant hang on to it.
sweet
i have a program that allows me to send it to other carriers
For people hating on this dude, this dude (eric) is now one of the fucken sick ass foos from HTC so hate on him haterz.
SPRINT SPRINT SPRINT SPRINT
Too bad the fucken Keyboard to my Touch Pro died on me about a month ago. i had my Mogul and was really good except for when running many programs. Just load a new custom rom and it will perform better
i dont have this phone but.... i have watched this video enough to tell you that you should be able to send pics and text in one message.
i don't know, but this one is bulkier
I have it too and it is ugly, but it blows them pretty phones out of the water in terms of software.
why the hell would i pay and ungodly amount of money for the i phone when in 6 months there just going to upgrade it just like they do with the ipods. ya ill wait a good year before i even think about buying the iphone.
Cant wait till this phone is out for verizon. love my 6700
swear, i was about to say that.
What "applications"?! With no 3rd party support, you're getting whatever Apple decides you need.
~Spyked~
ChiYokLown
lol not really. she just needed a phone, so i helped out. i do admit that most wouldnt do it though, well not unless something were recieved in exchange. but im silly so no worries :D
lol wtf? you jack on your phones?
hardley
anything I sucks. There are about 3 other brands of Mp3 players that are better. Iphone to PPC is what Mac is to PC..It looks beautiful..visually stunning...but just cannot do as much!!
I love how he says it's high speed data, yet it took the thing 15 seconds to download 66KB of data lol That's a download speed of 0.0005 Mbps lol
The Mogul.... I hate that phone XD
Most of these HTC phones do suck.
I've used most of them & they just don't measure up to the other phones at that price point.
im switching from sprint so i can get the iphone
probably the phone is good, but the OS Windows Mobile CE suks, all windows products suks.... this case is not the exception...
400MHz
I have the canadian version (from Telus) and I hapen to like it a lot Dpad and all. My only question is why does the reviewer sound like a robot...was he reading from a sheet.
smaller than the iphone
lol idk i dislike the rumors side ward screen place ment
he sounds funny #^.^# hehehe..
iphone killer
299.99 w/ two year contract
Use Wifi.

Sheesh folks, keep it real. I want actual information, not a juvenile argument about iphone versus htc. Both are impressive, both have advantages, and drawbacks.
