This phone sure seemed cool before the LCD cracked on day 5 of owning it. Sitting in my jacket pocket no less. Guess what the manufacturers warranty does not cover? Yep...the LCD. Scheisters!!!... I hope HTC drowns ...
MobileTech reviews the HTC Mogul PPC-6800: “The HTC Mogul PPC-6800 is a very strong offering from Sprint, and a worthy, if not overdue, successor to the PPC-6700. It is manageable in size, powerful in terms of processing performance and storage memory and the HTC Mogul PPC-6800 has fast EVDO (with a promised upgrade to the faster Rev. A) for pleasingly fast data performance. WiFi will keep you connected when not in an EVDO coverage area (also handy if you turn down Sprint’s data plan), and Bluetooth 2.0 means you can use your favorite Bluetooth headset and car kit with the phone. We also like the fact there’s a Java runtime included with the HTC Mogul PPC-6800, previously a rarity on CDMA Windows Mobile phones. There’s a lot to like about this PDA phone and our only complaints are the lack of an MMS client and the mediocre camera shots.”

We now know for sure that Android IS NOT a fly by night, get it out there quick and dirty project – but instead a well thought out platform. According to Chow, HTC has been for more than two years with Google on Android. For the sake of HTC’s partnership with Microsoft, Chow underscores the fact that HTC is still fully committed to Windows Mobile, but “Android is, for HTC, a good opportunity to expand our portfolio.” Chow believes that Windows Mobile is strong for enterprise customers, while Android is more consumer focused with “that kind of an internet experience.”
PhoneScoop reviews the HTC Shadow: “The HTC Shadow’s (T-Mobile) battery life on this phone is not as good as it could be. I was very dissapointed when I learned that the phone would use a much smaller battery than any other smartphone. I know that it supports the style and form factor of the HTC Shadow, but it feels like if I am just looking through the phone that the battery will begin to drain. It feels like it’s getting better over time, but that may be that I am just getting used to it.
The HTC Shadow freezes from time to time when I close applications in the Task Manager. If you dont push anything it will pick itself back up, but it can be frustrating.
This is just a personal con of the HTC Shadow, you can’t listen to music while you take pictures. On my SDA with half the memory I could do that! But it isn’t really a big deal so I wont take that out of the score.
On the positive side, the HTC Shadow for T-Mobile is beautiful! The screen is amazining and clear. So what that it is not VGA resolution, that ...

PhoneArena reviews the Sprint HTC Touch CDMA: “The Sprint HTC Touch CDMA is great, there are no two ways around it. The form-factor is amazing, it fits in the hand perfectly and is small enough to fit in a pocket comfortably. The increased memory meant it handled everything we threw at it and kept on chugging. The Sprint HTC Touch CDMA strikes the perfect balance between size and usability. The lack of a physical keypad was a non-issue, and there are a myriad of accessories and adapters included with the phone. The flexibility of Windows Mobile means that the user can truly personalize their phone, whether it be as simple as a new look or as advanced as a complete overhaul of the device. We liked the Sprint HTC Touch CDMA so much that this reviewer purchased one for himself, and I can’t think of a more ringing endorsement.”

An HTC Touch Clone has been found in an online reseller. The exterior is an exact copy, which is interesting enough. Even more interesting is that the makers of the SSG730 got the license to run Windows Mobile (5) on their HTC Clone.
The interface is actually unique, using an Nanoesque split screen. Other features include WiFi, fingerprint reader and, voila! a Sirf III GPS Chip. You can buy it here wholesale.
CrunchGear reviews the Sprint HTC Touch: “The Sprint HTC Touch is hands down one of the best devices I’ve used in the past two years. The Touch features a microSD slot with support up to 4GB and includes a 512MB card. The 2-megapixel camera has 5x zoom with video capabilities. Stereo Bluetooth, which should be a norm with all phones!
The Sprint HTC Touch also has voice-activated dialing, which comes in handy while driving and something the other thing doesn’t have. The Sprint HTC Touch is also one of the tiniest, 4.0x 2.4x 0.6-inch and weighs 4oz, and most powerful devices out on the market. Not to mention a 3-inch screen that’s nice and bright.
I like keyboards and I don’t use a stylus. But there is a HTC Touch slider coming so that may be sufficient enough. Wi-Fi would be nice, but isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker. That’s pretty much it. If you’re a Sprint customer then I highly suggest you pick the Sprint HTC Touch up. If you’re not a Sprint customer then I suggest you switch. The Touch by HTC on Sprint is only $249.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate. Get it, you’ll love it.”

LaptopMag reviews the Sprint HTC Mogul: “The Sprint HTC 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 on the Sprint HTC Mogul. 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.
So how is the Sprint HTC Mogul as a phone? Adequate. Calls over Sprint’s network were mostly clear, with occasional fuzziness on the line. We found the speakerphone sufficiently loud and easy to activate. And both voice and data coverage were generally strong. Sprint claims the Sprint HTC Mogul offers 20 percent more battery life than the PPC-6700, and we concur. This device lasted about two full days with moderate usage, which included a mix of phone calls, music listening, ...
Engadgetmobile has a Hands-On review of the Sprint HTC Touch and say: “The thing about TouchFLO is that the finger friendliness doesn’t go far beyond the home page — all the standard Windows Mobile apps are here and are designed with a stylus in mind — and while the stylus is there on the Sprint HTC Touch if you need it, we were pleasantly surprised with how accurately we were able to navigate using one hand and a thumb alone. Bottom line: if you liked the original Touch, you’ll like Sprint’s HTC Touch, and the addition of 3G certainly doesn’t hurt.”

The HTC Touch is now available in 2 new colors: Burgundy and White. This will be in addition to the 2 previous colors of Black and Green. Along with the new colors for the HTC Touch, there will also be a memory upgrade.
PhoneArena has more: “Additionally, HTC upgrades all HTC Touch phones by doubling their memory (RAM and ROM) to respectively 128 and 256 MB instead of 64 and 128. This will be marked with a sticker on the box of the phones to show they are of the new partition.”

HTC's Mogul (PPC-6800) debuted at the top of Sprint's smartphone lineup, taking the place of the much beloved PPC-6700. A Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC device backed by Sprint's Power Vision EV-DO network and HTC's impressive track record of solid hardware design, Mogul brought with it high expectations from power users looking for a compact, versatile way to stay connected. I took Mogul with me on a three-week trip across the US and came home duly impressed. HTC did a great job designing a compact device with a quality touchscreen and excellent slide-out QWERTY board. And Sprint's network continues to impress me.
While Windows Mobile has never been my favorite smartphone operating system, its impossible to deny its extensive user base, capacity to sync with corporate networks, and the myriad installable applications available to extend its functionality. WM6 is more about under the hood tweaks than a full-on redesign, and while I still have my - read full review
To be fair, HTC was developing the Touch long before Apple's iPhone hit the market. But iPhone came to market first and quickly became the gold standard for a new breed of mobile devices marked by giant touchscreens and smartphone functionality combined with mainstream usability. As such, it's really impossible not to consider iPhone when using or reviewing Touch.
So I'll do my best to look at the Sprint-branded Touch both as a next-gen Windows Mobile smartphone built with a finger-friendly touchscreen and refined UI, and as an "iPhone alternative" in the newly burgeoning world of mainstream-friendly, multimedia-centric handsets. As the former, Touch is one of the best, easiest to use Windows Mobile devices around so long as you don't need to type on it. Touch fits easily in one hand, and the combination of a flush-mounted hard plastic touchscreen and the Sprint-enhanced TouchFlo UI makes it much easier to use without a stylus than any other WM device I've ever tried - - read full review
