I give it a good rating and not a excellent because there is still a lot of improvement that can be done. Phone looks and feel great, very stylish, up to date with technology, and superb screen size. I love the screen size for browser the internet and watching video. Of course i'm a guy and I got big khaki pockets for the phone so i don't mind the big bulkiness, i actually like the screen size more than the iphone. As far as speed, the internet is really fast but programs needs some work to move in and out faster. A fast internet but slow software isn't gonna help it much. The Android software stinks, could use better functionality like the iphone. I miss the iphone due to simplicity, easy to navigate and organize app around. Sprint network is great but their data network isn't that great. I can call and text instantly but having trouble connecting to the data network to use app that require online access. 9/6/10 Update: Batteries perform good unless you are using flash from like watch youtube videos. That's why Iphone decided not to use flash on their phones and I know why now. From a full charge battery watching youtube, the whole battery drains in one hour compare to your regular videos which last for about 2.5 times longer. Going in and out of video files sometimes lags and freezes. Your video search loads kinda slow if you're trying to get all the way down to the bottom for your video. I wish you can set the setting for video to show just a list so it can scroll down faster than trying to load all the video picture while slowing down the scrolling down part. Be prepare to get extra batteries on the side and thank goodness this phone has that feature unlike the iphones. Once its dead its dead. Does what I need to do and they need to start putting up more general app like local banks, etrade, and etc.Read full review
Love the easy texting and the keyborad buttons are perfect size, easy to push. Gets great recpetion here in Iowa. Ease of use of windows is good, takes some finesse to get ringtones to work but it is nice that you can use a whole song instead of just a clip. Battery time isn't very long with standard battery, but I found excellent talk time with extended battery, recommend plugging in the phone every night to make sure a full charge especially with heavy use. Very odd dialing with the buttons on screen, sometimes in the middle of calls you have to slide the phone open in order to use the keypad to push a number. Overall though very impressed with the reception and the options that the phone offers. Wouldn't trade the phone despite its flaws, absolutely love it.
I'd like to say this device is "great", almost excellent as the interface runs smoothly and complements well with the programs it has. This phone has great features and I have no problems towards adapting to it all. On that note, it is great for lifestyle users, but for business use it can be troublesome. Reason being is that the battery life can drain quickly due to the multiple program usage along with the background lighting consuming the battery life. You must have your charger available after 20 hrs, but that's just a small compremise for me at least. Also, the keyboard is slightly difficult to use. You can solve the keyboard problem by installing SPB Keyboard, which allows a landscape keyboard to assist with texting or emails. Hands down, it's a "great phone", just not excellent.
This is the upgrade to the PPC-6700/XV-6700 (verizon). Verizon model should debut later this year or earlier next year as inside reports state. Biggest upgrade to the phone is Windows Mobile 6. As any PDA phone it does have its few quirks but a lot fewer than most. Pros -Little bit less bulky feel to it, though the size difference is marginal. -Windows Mobile 6. Better look to the mobile operating system. -Phone seems to run a lot smoother through everything though it has a lower processor speed then the 6700. -Keyboard (slides out) has much better positive response when you press down the keys. Also has two lights to illuminate to let you know you are in Caps or Fn settings. -Phone is once again set to use as a wireless modem. (Verizon will probably have to edit a few things) -6800 comes set to pair up to your bluetooth GPS. Usually works without a hitch, but some may be a bit more picky then others. -Comes out of the box with a 512MB microSD card. Small, would recommend purchasing one with more capacity, but better than nothing. Cons -Keyboard has a light sensor on it, where it determines if the backlight needs to be on or not. Just cover it or slide keyboard out slowly and it will kick on for you. -Original phone settings have it set to poll the towers (to receive calls) every 5 seconds. Tends to have you either miss calls, or when calls are received give you little time to answer or may hang when trying to answer. Simple fix available. -No dock with this model. Not a huge loss, but for those wanting one, will have to go aftermarket on this one. -The retractable stylus can be quite small and due to its size when using it will tend to start retracting on it. Aftermarket ones are available that are 3/4 inch longer and have a pen built into the end. -Battery life. Plain and simple you are looking at charging this phone every night. If you use the phone quite a bit during the day or use the wireless, bluetooth, and Sprint Data...you may need another battery to swap out during the day. All in all the phone I find is a great upgrade to my old phone. I owned the XV-6700 from Verizon. I do not regret the purchase or switch.Read full review
When you name a smart phone "Mogul," it better have some serious power. The good news is that this jack-of-all-trades device delivers with a processor that can handle Windows Mobile 6 Professional, plus the fastest broadband speeds you can get, courtesy of Sprint's EV-DO Rev. A network. (That is, once Sprint makes this upgrade available.) Other welcome improvements from the PPC-6700 include a sharper two-megapixel camera and a much sleeker design. This power user's dream machine even does the iPhone one better by supporting over-the-air music downloads, although the execution should have been much better. It has a few annoying flaws, but the Mogul is worthy of its unabashedly cheeky moniker. The first thing we noticed about the HTC Mogul is the much slimmer form factor, minus the PPC-6700's stubby antenna. The gunmetal-gray exterior felt very good in the hand and is complete with a textured backside that ensured a no-slip grip. Some may think it's overkill, but we like that you can choose one of three ways to navigate the device: a thumb wheel on the left side, a five-way navigator control underneath the display (a big improvement over the PPC-6700's tiny joystick), and the included telescoping stylus. However, right-handers might be miffed that the D-pad is on the left side when the keyboard is open. The Anti-iPhone Like its predecessor, the Mogul features a full QWERTY keyboard that slides out when you hold the device sideways, but this one has a smoother sliding action. The flat layout, much like the T-Mobile Wing's, is large enough to prevent typos, even when you're sending long e-mail replies, but the tactile feedback could be a bit better. Sometimes we weren't sure whether we hit a letter. On the other hand, that's the price you pay for having a more compact footprint than the PPC-6700, which had a relatively plump keyboard. The 2.8-inch display is plenty bright, with the same 320 x 240-pixel resolution as the Wing. This smart phone is littered with buttons; it's like the antithesis of the iPhone. When held vertically, the front of the Mogul has dedicated launch keys for e-mail and the browser above the display. The five-way controller is flanked by two soft keys, a Send and End key, the Windows menu key, plus an OK key for minimizing programs. The left side of the device houses yet another OK key, a launch key for voice dialing, and a Wi-Fi On/Off switch (a nice touch when you want to save power). We're not done yet. The right side is where you'll find a Comm Manager launch button (for toggling the other wireless connections on and off), the power button, and the camera launch/shutter button. Having one-touch access to all these options is nice, but it took us a while to get our bearings. Fast Now, Faster Later As the first smart phone to support EV-DO Rev. A, the HTC Mogul's biggest selling point is its data speed. Yes, you can use Wi-Fi to surf the Web and download e-mail when you're in a hotspot, but Sprint's network will enable fast downloads (400 to 700 Kbps on the Rev. 0 network; 400 Kpbs to 1.4 Mbps on the upcoming Rev. A) and uploads (50 to 70 Kbps; 350 to 500 Kpbs) in more than 10,400 cities. Even without Rev. A, the Mogul was faster than its predecessor. Whereas the PPC-6700 took 10 to 15 seconds to start loading most sites, the Mogul took only 4 to 8 seconds to bring up CNN.com and then about 15 more seconds to fill in the images and other elements. In other words, you won't be waiting nearly as long to staRead full review
