HTC Mogul

Best Cell Phone/PDA device I've seen on the market so far. Have been the owner of MOTO-Q and PPC6700, but this product far outweighs them both in quality. I did love the PPC6700, but it was too large and I didn't like the antenna. It was also a little slow, and seemed to have a few bugs that have been corrected in the Windows Mobile 6 software. Great product - highly recommended!!

HTC makes some great phones. Having been a user of the PPC 6700 Apache, I was excited to upgrade to the 6800, and I was not disappointed! More hardware buttons allow quick access to common tasks. I use the SPB Suite for finger friendly use. The Wi-Fi switch is great for at home. When I get home, I move the switch to on, and it automatically connects to my network. When I disconnect the Wi-Fi, it switched right back to my cellular data EVDO. The battery life is good, the GPS works great, the keyboard is quite nice, the Apache's keys were too slick and shiny, my finger tips or nails would slide off. The light detector to turn on the keyboard backlight is a great idea, but I disabled it.
This is the phone I hoped the Apache would be.

I love this phone, it is everything i wanted in a phone. The phone is one of the best phone that was every made.

I like that it is smaller in size, and that it has some better features from the old one. the reason i bought it so to upgrade my old one. this phone i notice doesn't have the as good of cell coverage as my old one.

I decided to buy this phone after about a month of reserching different phones and watching prices on ebay and at other retail stores. In the end I found that this would be the perfect phone for me and I found the right price here on ebay. This is a great phone if you need to be able to email on the go and use internet on the go. Plus it's just an awesome phone to have, what with it's touch screen and all the other added fun things.

I like the functionality of the phone without all the expensive bells and whistles. It has GPS and WM 6.1 with everything I was looking for. It seems sturdy and is very customizable.

I didn't want to get this PDA because I knew I would have it broken in a matter of weeks. I am tough on things like this so I always buy cheap because I always have to replace.
NOT THIS ONE!
i have dropped it, in sand and salt, in the toilet from my back pocket. It loves my abuse.
The screen doesnt scratch but face goo can build up.
did I mention its tough?
The only time I have had to replace it was when it got stolen off a table in a bar when I went up to dance with my man...
As*&oles!
I've had mine well over a year. Love it.
Sprint mail sucks though you have to log in to see the visuals etc..

I really like the touch screen and everything, though the stylus does get annoying after a while. The phone runs a little slow with Windows mobile 6.1. But overall good phone, easy to type on. Wi-Fi is also a nice thing to have.

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.

This phone was purchased by my grandmother for me as a gift for my birthday [from ebay], but is not what I am looking for at this time [Im afraid to have a touch screen]. I am very impressed with its compact size and variety of features, Im sure that it would be perfect for someone interested in a "Pocket PC". I will use this phone if I am unable to reach a fair sale price for it- [I would like to use the money to buy a Blackberry instead.]

Im sure that if I were to use this phone it would be great. It is small, handy, and efficient. I've used my friend Clara's for the last week now- it is a phenomenal little piece of equipment!

i really like this phone. i originally had the palm centro which is nice but i needed a bigger keyboard. i luv just about everything with this phone except i cant send pictures via text (only email) and the constant blinking light which is ok but really annoying. other than that the fun is excellent.

I got this to replace the 6700...Awesome upgrage!! Perfect and easy to navigate! Simple and excellant features! I love it!

I love that phone! And wanted it since joined sprint but I wasn't going to pay $600 for a phone.compared to my current phone which is a blackberry I rather have a full keyboard and a touch screen, actually I rather have current technology

This is an all around great phone/PDA/PPC that works pretty much flawlessly. My only complaint is that of just about everyone else who has reviewed this phone on other sites and that is of the need for more RAM (it CAN be upgraded for about $200 on some sites but this will void the warranty). The internal storage space is great for such a unit though and with the external storage expandable to 4GB (some now reporting support of up to 8GB) make this an even more attractive bargain. The camera takes GREAT pictures. It takes Panoramic shots, Single shot, triple shot and also short video all in great quality.

As already stated, if this phone had more RAM, it would be perfect. I hardly use my laptop anymore as a result.

i love this phone it has all the apps you would expect from a windows mobile phone

there is only one con is the lack of a headphone jack.

I won't buy a phone if isn't a pocket PC phone. This is a mini computer. You can do many task like install new programs, surf the web with Internet explorer mobil or Mini Opera, play music with media player, use mobil office applications (Word, Excel and Powerpoint). Also yo can find a lot of freeware software for this phone. I like the sliding keyborad ant stylus too. the touch screen respond very well. I have a few complaint about this phone; the battery doesn't last long if you use the internet for long period of time, the Sound is not very good, and the system memory is too small.

I received phone. It was a bit banged up, but works fine.
Don't have anything else to say for this review. And don't like that I have to leave 100 charagters or more.

well i did know it was used just not that used for the price also the charging port not good so i feel like its not worth fixing

I bought it because I thought it would be a good phone but it dosent keep the charge very disappointed.

Bought this as a replacement for the same model phone I had wrecked. It was a lower cost alternative to upgrading (the phone I would have wanted to upgrade two was much more expensive than the $100 I paid for this). I've had no problems with it and all the functionality is operating correctly. Very happy with the purchase.

The Mogul is the absolute best PDA available on functionality. It can do everything, right down to serving as a scaled down laptop, or serving as your wireless modem. Phone reception and clarity is awesome, even on speakerphone. It can search/surf the web on wireless connection while you are on a phone call. It flawlessly integrates with my Moto bluetooth headset, which I use only when driving (State law you know). It syncs nicely with my desktop (or any desktop for that matter) using MS Active Sync. It can read and write in MS Word, Excel and Adobe PDF. It can harvest your POP3/IMAP (AOL/Yahoo/Hotmail, etc.) e-mail accounts and access web-based e-mail portals. Naturally, it can surf for driving directions, baseball scores or thesaurus entries. Its camera and movie-cam are very good (2.3MM pixels, but results look even better than that). With a free downloaded software add-on, it handles picture mail in MMS. SMS text is flawlessly handled in conversation format. It easily holds a 4GB chip for immaculate data storage. I think I have 7 full-length movies stored on the chip in WMV format, plus tons of work material, and have about 1.5GB still free. I have about 18 converted clips of punk rock tunes (from MP3) acting as ringtones and alarms. There are 3 alarms with adjustable snooze lengths. I must have 300+ songs stored as MP3's on the chip that play flawlessly in the built-in Windows Media Player. Its a perfect solution for a lawyer on the road, as I often am. Its only downsides are poor construction by HTC (buttons break, etc., which can be worked around with self-directed button/function assignments) and the limitations of MS Windows Mobile 6.1. MS is upgrading its system with Win Mobile 7 coming in the near future, lifting these limits. Although Mogul is stylish, I have little hope for HTC as a quality maker. For now, they are the best option. For all of MS's flaws, they absolutely kill Apple on functionality for business users, like me. Contrary to popular opinion, Windows also has an app for that. I can read x-rays, angiograms and MRI's on my phone too. The difference that makes the Mogul superior is the ability to read, edit or draft a letter or legal brief in Word, which is due to the MS operating system, and not HTC. Although I sparingly do so, the ability to do it is immensely important to me. I'll be looking for another maker to take the MS operating system up to even better functionality, while enhancing the overall reliability of the phone hardware. In the interim, the Mogul is an absolutely superior phone and scaled down laptop. I'm on my second Mogul in 3.5 years, as I wait for Win 7, consciously skipping the iPhone, Palm Pre and all Blackberry devices. They just can't do everything that I need them to do, and the Mogul, quite simply, CAN.

I never got a chance to use it of the extra cost Sprint charges to use the phone. I purchased this phone after purchasing an Instinct and found the monthly charges was too much. It was described correctly.

Sometimes it will lockup but I still like it the wifi is great to have.I am the type of person who needs alot of phone. It's like having a PC in my pocket. I got the square trade warranty so my mined is at rest if something was to happen to it. I would like to thank Brian at monster mart for giving me such a great deal on my phone I will be buying another phone from him when the time is right.
