I don't blog very often about toys but I am a gadget geek.  My Sprint PPC 6700 wouldn't work anymore.  I think it lost too many battle to gravity.  So I upgrated to the new Sprint HTC Mogul phone.  It is really cool phone. 

Here's the coolest features

  • EVDOa - In Omaha I am getting 700k to 1Mb per second.  I compared it to the WIFI on it, I was only getting 500k to 700k.  No reason to use WIFI with unlimited data plan!
  • Email - This is the main reason for the PDA phone. 
  • Built in GPS - I used to have to carry an extra gps on my bat utility belt for this. 
  • Voice Dial - Great when driving.
  • Keyboard - I guess I'm too old to understand how the kids today can send text messages so fast without a keyboard.  I like my keyboard.
  • Camera - Actually works pretty good on this phone.  The 6700 was bad
  • HTML Email - I'm sure iPhone users don't think aout this much but the 6700 was just text email. 

If you have a Windows Mobile 6 phone make sure you download these!

  • Spb Mobile Shell - Turn your Windows Mobile 6 phone into an iPhone like interface.  It makes it a completely different phone.  Check it out.  Only $30
  • MS Live Search - Use GPS, maps, directions, find businesses, etc.   Voice activated too! FREE!
  • Orb - Stream any media from your PC to your phone.  You can watch videos, photos, and open documents.  Finally I can watch YouTube videos on my phone.  FREE!

Sprint has also said that it is going to release the Windows Mobile 6.1 update for the Mogul!  This will give us a bunch of little features, but my favorite is a better web browser.
