The good: The Sprint Mogul by HTC runs the latest Windows Mobile 6, has more memory included, and has a thinner design. It also boasts Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and EV-DO support as well as a 2-megapixel camera. Sprint will also offer an over-the-air update post-launch that gives you access to the Sprint Music Store.
The bad: Some elements of the Mogul's hardware as well as speakerphone volume and quality is sub-par. A slower processor and limited program memory can sometimes slow down performance.
The bottom line: The Sprint Mogul by HTC brings some needed design and feature updates to its predecessor, and refreshes the carrier's staid lineup of smartphones. It has some performance issues, but is worth the upgrade.
Editor's note: Ratings for this product have been updated to reflect final performance results.
For a few months now, Sprint and Verizon Wireless customers have had to watch while their GSM counterparts at T-Mobile and AT&T got one new smartphone after another. Yet things are starting to look up--for Sprint subscribers, anyway. Today, the carrier announced the Sprint Mogul by HTC, the long-awaited successor to the Sprint PPC-6700. Sporting a thinner design and updated features, including Windows Mobile 6, the Mogul is a powerful Windows Mobile smartphone for the most demanding user. On the downside, the speakerphone quality is weak and the device can be sluggish, but we think it's worth an upgrade over the two-year-old PPC-6700 not to mention a good alternative to Sprint's Palm Treo 700wx. The Sprint Mogul will be available online and through business sales channels starting June 18 and in retail stores nationwide by mid-July. Pricing starts at a wallet-crunching $399.99 with a two-year service agreement.
Design
The Sprint Mogul's design pulls a fast one on you. Without consulting the specs, the Mogul looks quite a bit smaller than its predecessor. Perhaps it's the lack of an external antenna that gives this illusion, but in reality, the Mogul is heavier and taller than the PPC-6700 and only marginally thinner (4.3 inches high by 2.3 inches wide by 0.7 inch deep and 6.5 ounces for the Mogul vs. the PPC-6700's 4.2 inches by 2.3 inches by 1 inch and 6.1 ounces). The overall look is reminiscent of the Cingular 8525 and the T-Mobile Wing, though we think the Mogul isn't quite as comfortable to hold as the Wing since it lacks a soft-touch finish. In addition, the back battery cover has a plastic, flimsy feel, so we worry that it might crack after some use.
If you take a quick, 360-degree visual tour of the Mogul, you'll notice a lot of buttons adorning the device. While they can be a bit overwhelming at first, they do allow for easier and faster one-handed operation. On the right side, you have the power button, a Communication Manager launcher for all your wireless connections, the camera activation key, and the stylus holder. The camera lens is located on the back along with a flash, but there's no self-portrait mirror. The left side holds a thumb wheel for faster scrolling, as well as an OK button, a voice recorder key, and a switch that lets you turn on the Wi-Fi. Finally, there's an infrared port, a microSD card slot, a reset button, and a mini USB port on the bottom of the unit.
Of course, you'll spend a majority of your time using the touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard to enter text and launch apps. Fortunately, you shouldn't have many problems with both tasks since the touch screen is responsive and the keyboard is roomy. What's more, the screen measures 2.8 inches diagonally with a standard 65,000-color output and 240x320 pixel resolution. Text, images, and Web sites looked great, and it's readable in most lighting conditions except for direct sunlight. You can adjust the backlighting and customize your home screen with different menu items, background images, and themes. An array of shortcut keys surrounds the display; at the top, you have quick-launch buttons to your messages and Internet Explorer Mobile, while there are two soft keys, the Talk and End buttons, a Start menu shortcut, an OK button, and a four-way navigation toggle below the screen. The only thing that really gave us a problem was the circular toggle; it's stiff and sticky, and the plastic button feels cheap. In fact, the top portion was actually out of its socket and we had to pop it back in. HTC makes some high-quality smartphones, so we expect better.
We thought the Sprint Mogul's navigation toggle felt cheap and plasticky. It was also stiff to press and would stick sometimes.
To access the full QWERTY keyboard, just push the front cover to the left. The sliding mechanism is smooth, and the cover locks into place with a satisfying click. The screen switches automatically from portrait to landscape mode, but like the Wing, the transition took a few seconds, especially when we had numerous apps open. The Mogul's keyboard is similar to the ones found on the T-Mobile Wing and Cingular 8525, though the two soft keys have been moved to the top of the keyboard. There isn't much spacing between buttons, but the squarish keys are large and tactile enough so that most users shouldn't have too many problems typing on it.
The Mogul's keyboard is largely similar the ones found on the T-Mobile Wing and the Cingular 8525. The buttons are tactile and roomy for easy typing.
The Sprint Mogul comes packaged with a healthy set of accessories, including an AC adapter, a USB cable, a wired stereo headset, a 512MB microSD card, a leather carrying case, a clear screen protector, a reference material, and more. For more personalization options, check out our cell phone accessories, ring tones, and help page.
Features
Like the T-Mobile Wing and the HTC Touch before it, the Sprint Mogul follows suit and upgrades to Windows Mobile 6 Professional Edition as well as adding a 2-megapixel camera. To differentiate itself from the competition, Sprint adds some goodies of its own to the Mogul, which we'll discuss throughout this section.
Starting with the basics, the Mogul's voice features include a speakerphone, voice commands, smart dialing, speed dial, vibrate mode, and text and multimedia messaging. The contact list is limited only by the available memory, and each entry includes storage for as many as 12 numbers, home and work addresses, e-mail, IM screen name, birthday, spouse's name, and more. For caller ID purposes, you can pair a contact with a photo, a caller group, or any of 24 polyphonic ring tones. Call history is now sorted to the appropriate contact page--a new function of Windows Mobile 6. It's a minor feature, but it's actually quite handy to see when you received and made calls to a specific person, as well as the time of the call, the duration, and so forth all on the contact page.
Wireless options on the Sprint Mogul run the full gamut. It has built-in Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi, and EV-DO support. You can use the Bluetooth to connect to wireless headsets, hands-free kits, general object exchange, dial-up networking, and A2DP for Bluetooth stereo headsets, among others. For Web browsing, you can either hop onto a hot spot or take advantage of Sprint's EV-DO network, which can give you data speeds of as fast as 2.4Mbps in bursts, though you'll average closer to 300Kbps to 600Kbps. Even better news, it will be upgradeable to EV-DO Rev. A when it launches later in the fall.
With the boost of 3G speeds, Sprint added support for its Sprint Music Store where you can wirelessly download music to your phone or PC. To transfer songs from your PC to the smartphone, you can use Sprint's Sync Manager software and the included USB cable. We tried downloading several songs but ran into a number of problems. We could get a preview of the song and view the album art, but once we hit the download button, it would start for a few seconds, then return with a message saying the music store was not available. It took us five attempts before we were able to download one song. Sprint has since told us that its engineers are conducting more tests, so the Sprint Music service will not be available at launch. Instead, it will offer it as an over-the-air download in mid-July. Also, the Mogul doesn't work with Sprint TV at the time of this writing, but you can use Windows Media Player 10 Mobile to view TV shows recorded on your Windows Media Center PC or to tune into your favorite AAC, MP3, WAV, WMA, MPEG-4, and WMV music and video files.
More than the multimedia capabilities, the Sprint Mogul is a tool for staying organized and working while on the go. The upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 Professional Edition brings a collection of small but notable improvements to the PIM functions, including a more robust Calendar app and Windows Live integration. You also get the full Microsoft Office Mobile Suite for creating, viewing, and editing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, as well as Adobe Reader LE for opening PDFs. To learn more about these features and to get a full rundown of Windows Mobile 6, please check out our full review here.
The Mogul ships with Microsoft's Direct Push technology, so you get real-time e-mail delivery and automatic synchronization with your Outlook calendar, tasks, and contacts via Exchange Server. In addition, there's a new e-mail search function, and you get more of a true Outlook experience as your Inbox shows messages that are flagged and marked as being of high importance. It works like the Smart Dial feature on Windows Mobile 5 devices, where you start typing in a word while in your Inbox, and it will pull up messages automatically with that term in the subject or contact field. As we noted in our review of Windows Mobile 6, the e-mail functionality is even more robust if your company has upgraded to Exchange Server 2007. There is, of course, continued support for POP3 and IMAP accounts, but now you can also view e-mails in their original HTML format, regardless of account type.
We used ActiveSync 4.5 to synchronize our Outlook data from our PC to the Mogul and had no problems. The e-mail search worked well and was a real time saver, and we could view HTML message just fine. We also configured our device to retrieve e-mail from our Yahoo account every 15 minutes, which it did successfully.
Like the latest Windows Mobile 6 devices, the Sprint Mogul gets an upgrade with a 2-megapixel camera.
Finally, the Sprint Mogul is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera with an 8x zoom and video-recording capabilities. The camera settings are on a par with those of the other Windows Mobile 6 devices with the bonus of including a flash; you have your choice of five resolutions, four quality settings, white-balance control, and various effects. There's also a self-timer, a time-stamp option, a picture counter, and flicker adjustment, among other things. For video, the Mogul can capture clips with or without sound in MPEG-4, Motion JPG, or H.263 format. There are only two resolution choices, but you get the same white balance and color effect settings.
Picture quality was a mixed bag. Though colors were bright, there was a haziness to the images.
Picture quality was mixed. While colors were bright, particularly the oranges and yellows, the overall image had a hazy effect to it. It's fine for contact pictures and quick snapshots for multimedia messages and e-mail but not much more than that. Video quality wasn't much better, and it was murkier than the T-Mobile Wing.
Performance
We tested the dual-band (CDMA 850/1900; EV-DO) Sprint Mogul in San Francisco using Sprint service, and its call quality was generally good. Despite a slight background hiss, we were able to carry on conversations without any problems. We were also able to interact with and be understood by our bank's automated voice-activation system. Our friends said sound was clear on their end, though they weren't particularly impressed with the quality. Unfortunately, things took a dive when we activated the speakerphone. Even at its highest level the volume was weak, and we had to constantly ask our callers to speak up and vice versa. On the upside, we had no problems pairing the Mogul with the Logitech Mobile Traveller Bluetooth headset.
The Sprint Mogul gets a bump in memory over that of the Sprint PPC-6700 with 256MB of ROM (versus 128MB) and 64MB of RAM, but it has a slightly slower 400MHz Intel PXA250 processor (compared to 416MHz). Still, it can't quite keep pace with heavy multitaskers. The apps are memory hogs, and with only about 17MB of free program memory, it fills up pretty fast. On more than one occasion we got the message that there wasn't enough memory to launch a program. You can stop running programs by going to Settings > System > Memory. You can also alleviate some of the problem by taking advantage of the microSD slot.
Based on the poor speakerphone quality, we weren't surprised that music playback through the unit's speakers was poor. Songs sounded tinny and lacked volume and richness. On the other hand, we were impressed by the video quality. Pictures were clear on the Mogul's sharp screen, and there wasn't as much pixilation as we're accustomed to seeing on smartphones. Web sites also looked great, and thanks to EV-DO speeds, we enjoyed fast load times.
The Mogul's lithium-ion battery is rated for 4.1 hours of talk time. In our battery tests, we got 6.5 hours of talk time on a single charge. According to FCC radiation tests, the Mogul has a digital SAR rating of 1.13 watts per kilogram.

This phone rocks! My only complaint is the cover on the back (feels a little cheap). I wanted to give this phone a 9 1/2 because of that but CNET won't let you do that and I didn't think it deserved a 9 because of one little complaint like that so I had to go with a 10! I love WM6, there is no delay in the switching of the screen orientation as there was with the 6700. The screen is beautiful! This phone has everything you need and combines your PDA and phone in one nice compact package. There is nothing I could do with my dell Axim (that I will be selling on ebay) that I can't do on the 6800 - in fact I can do MORE on my new 6800 thanks to the phone feature and WM6 - I had a Treo 700p (sucked - loooots of lag) then a 700wx (great phone too but crappy screen and poor Palm support) and have moved on to this platform and couldn't be happier.
Updated I forgot to mention that you are better off reading USER opinions instead of CNET's opinion - who would you trust more, a company who tests a phone for a few hours or users who are married to these devices 24/7! They rated the 700p very well and that phone was horrible (visit http://blog.palm.com to see just HOW much trouble the phone has become for owners) and they rated this 6800 way lower than it should be rated! So as someone who fell into the trap of trusting a corporate review over the opinions of actual users (with the 700p), take it from me - read the USER opinions!

I've owned the Mogul for three weeks. This phone is amazing, but I don't think it is for everyone. I have been using a Treo 650 for the past two years and decided to make the switch. My Treo was simplier and easier to use with one hand. I find Windows Mobile 6 to be complex. The Mogul does a great job of using 16 buttons on the outside of the device to create shortcuts to get where you need to be. Personally, I don't mind the complexity because it allows me to do nearly everything that I want to do, but there is a somewhat steep learning curve. Once the learning curve is mastered, the access to features at your fingertips is amazing.
Pros: 1) The touch screen is large and bright. 2) The high speed internet access is amazing. 3) Rev A upgrade will be available in the fall through a free software update. 4) Google maps is free and amazing to use on a mobile phone. 5) Wifi is nice 6) The camera is good?for a mobile phone 7) Syncing with Outlook is seamless. 8) I can open and edit Word and Excel files. 9) I can view PowerPoint and Adobe files. 10) I upgraded the 512 meg MicroSD card to a 2 gig card and carry all of my photographs on my mobile phone. 11) The fold out keyboard is good. 12) While not thin, the form factor is nice.
Adequate: 1) The phone itself is adequate. 2) The battery is adequate, but will run down with heavy use. 3) Sprint Music store?interesting feature, but future generations will be more useful.
Negatives: 1) Bluetooth - Reception is fine, but others complain that they sometimes have difficulties hearing me. 2) Windows Mobile 6 leaves programs running in the background when you think they are closed.
This is an amazing piece of technology, but if you want simplicity and just need email, contacts and calendars and don't care about anything else, a Blackberry or Treo may be a better option.

i came from the treo 700wx to this mogul.
i was so excited to receive this phone, hoping that wm6 would be a good upgrade to 5.
i am a physician and used both the pda portion and phone portion regularly. i needed the phone to work when i needed it and the pda to be snappy for medical applications. this device was neither. hoping it was a defective device, i even exchanged the first one for a new one. it had the same problems. i was having to resst it 3 times a day when programs would freeze (even with HTC x-button). the crazy thing was, BOTH of them would randomly refuse to allow me into the phone application (either by hitting the green talk button or through my contacts), and i would be forced to reset just to make a call!
the lag on this thing was HORRIBLE (again, even with x-button) when starting apps, or opening the keypad.
voice activated dialing has to be trained, or you can buy the program from windows.
when the phone is charging, if the screen is shut off, you don't get alarms or reminders (both of the phones did this and i've read elsewhere that others are having this problem).
as a power user who needs constant access to email, voice, text, and apps, i DO NOT recommend this phone. stick with the palm os, or the wm5 treo (the only reason i got rid of it was it died one day, a year into use). the treo had SOME lag, but not like this.
again, i tried this phone for over a month and got 2 different, brand-new devices that failed me miserably.

This phone is a great upgrade for current PPC-6700 users, and the sleek form factor makes this a very appealing package. Fits in your pocket, or you can carry it with the included case. Performs admirably even after loading it up with various apps. This phone is great, not sure why CNET rated it so low.

You know, I love this phone. I think it is way better than the IPhone. By adding voice command to the phone, it's amazing. I can pick up my phone and say, "Play Bon Jovi", and it will place all the Bon Jovi songs on a playlist and play them. THE IPHONE HAS NO VOICE CAPABILITIES! Basically, this phone is like a clean canvas. The user can add/customize this phone to do whatever they want it to do.... EXCEPT CARRY A DECENT PHONE CONVERSATION VIA BLUETOOTH! There is a known problem with the bluetooth functionality of this phone. Calls are choppy, at best. HTC and Sprint have both recommended that I return my phone and get a different sprint phone, like the Treo. A fix for this issue MAY come in the future, but there is a good chance it will never be corrected. BOTTOM LINE, if bluetooth is important to you, don't get this phone until the issue is corrected. Otherwise, you will be stuck using a old school, wired earpiece. Anyways, if the bluetooth gets fixed, this will be the best phone I have ever owned.

I'm in love with my Mogul
As a true Sprint loyalist, I've been waiting for a solid phone to come out for a while now. Having had my Treo 600 now for the past two years, It was time. I was so close to getting the Treo 700wx but my wife kept telling me "your current phone is still in good shape, yada yada yada". At a trade show recently, I passed by the Sprint booth. I noticed the Mogul data sheet sitting there. The rest is history. Picked it up the next day - had it now for about a week. So far, I'm in love. Push email is awesome. I feel like I have my very own blackberry running on Windows, minus the $40 email service fee (Yes - I was interested in a blackberry as well). So far, everything is great on the Mogul.
-Email works awesome. -The call/sound quality is superb -Internet browsing is ok.
This device is seriously a small laptop, with a phone attached. My laptop is running windows XP and I work with Office suite. I get everything on the Mogul that I do with the my laptop. My only complaint is internet browsing. Basically, you got your normal phone one-column view, full screen etc. But I'm waiting for the day I get a full-supported website on a phone. I'm talking flash content etc. I still haven't seen that yet. But I'm being picky. Anyway, this phone was worth the $435 I paid (new two-year contract).
Updated The speaker phone has been working great. I had doubts and never really used the speaker phone on my old Treo to make calls. But using the speaker phone all week in the car, everyone said I sounded clear. And the sound was clear coming from the phone. I'm not using speaker phone 80% of the time now in the car. It's awesome. And, I just started using the Google Map App. It's awesome, being able to use Google Map with hi-speed download times...pulling back street addresses of businesses and other locations, being able to see full on satellite view as well as current traffic zones is just awesome. One last thing I love about this phone is the jog wheel (using it to scroll through emails). I always liked that feel and ease of use on the Blackberry and having it here is great. I find myself using that a lot now as my main source of navigating. Pushing the wheel selects the email, similar to how it works with Blackberry. I'm very impressed with the many different ways you can navigate with this phone. You can use the wheel, the main center navigation control, with the full-keyboard open in horizontal view, you can use the up/down left/right arrows. It's really great that they thought of all the different ways to navigate. Oh by the way, the camera mode is like a full on digital camera. I'm talking about tons of different modes to choose from when taking a picture. Recording video is just awesome and being able to download that file so quickly with active sync is really cool.

I was blown away. The iphone seemed like it would take the cake this year, but after playing with this phone, I changed my mind. Brand new with no contract, it sells for $550, that's still less then the iphone(iphone at $599).
There are currently offers for new contracts and the phone will cost you $99. The features on this phone are amazing. Its fully loaded with every functionality you can think of on a phone.
For the most part I enjoy the live push email. I can link it up to work and send/receive emails all day. I have also linked it up to my yahoo, hotmail, and gmail accounts.
Having the ability to take photos or videos when ever I need to is great. The photo quality is fantastic.
The GPS Navigation feature is fantastic. I was using MapQuest Navigator to get turn by turn directions. The speaker does need to be turned up considerably to hear the directions as you drive.
Its light weight and it fit in my pocket nicely. I'm still waiting on a flip phone edition. I hope they build one soon.
In all, this phone is a great buy. I will be buying one once I hand the beta in.
Updated alot of people asking where I am finding the $99 prices with contract. Here is what a quick google search will come up with... http://cgi.ebay.com/SPRINT-PPC-6800-PPC6800-HTC-MOGUL-new-activation-only_W0QQitemZ250133816268QQihZ015QQcategoryZ41355QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask with any other questions.

First off, great phone - i used to have a PDA and cel phone until this one - best on the market for features/use-ability in my opinion.
Second, ive had the phone since april (Canadian version)and learned a few things that may help new users so.....
Bluetooth Fix - #1, the bluetooth and the wi-fi both share the same antenna, therefore if/when both are on, bluetooth stutters when wi-fi is downloading bits ofinfo. turning off wi-fi when ur not using it will help bluetooth (and reduce battery consumption)
#2, not sure if sprint fixes this prior to shipping but i know telus doesn't and that is the bluetooth is capable of stereo but is pre-programmed for mono. I did a registry hack to fix this and it not only gave me stereo sound but fixed the stuttering problem. (Its easy to do, but if ur unfamiliar i recommend getting someone comfortable w/computers to help). First back up ur phone data just in case, second, download a registry editor (i used the Resco Utility Package 5.36 trial version and then uninstalled it after the fix), install and run it and locate the following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2 DP\Settings
To enable the stereo function: change the DWORD from "1" TO "0" no quotes. And that's it! Credit for this goes to Dave Evans who did the most complete review of this phone ever! http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1153541(after reading this review, i bought the phone the next day)
Improving Power One thing with PDA's running Microsoft, is that when u think u've closed a program (by the X in the top right corner)its not really closed. Therefore, after running multiple programs over the course of a day, power can be sluggish. So two options for you:
#1 - go to 'Start' Menu, select 'Settings' and then select the tab 'System' (located at the bottom middle). Then locate and select the 'Memory' icon. Again w/ the tabs on the bottom, select 'Running Programs'. Here u'll see all programs still active (suprise! most of the programs u thought u closed are still using power in the background) Select 'Stop All' (make sure ur not in the middle of an activesync 1st) and you should experience an improvement in speed. If ur not doing the step 2 below, then i suggest repeating this step whenever performance gets slower.
#2 - there is a free program that i found and now use called 'Magic Button' which makes the 'X' button on programs actually close the program - always maintains fast performance and eliminates the need for step 1.
Finally, if you were only a cel phone user and are new to PDA's, I suggest getting into the habit of periodically doing a soft reset (using the styles and the recessed button on the bottom of the phone). All pda's ive used running Microsoft occasionaly hang or certain software apps stop running (in HTC case, the audio sometimes gets suppressed, thereby missing appointment reminders or calls). Since doing a quick reset a cple of times a week, its always worked properly (just like my old PDA's)and it performs better by clearing the cache and other misc temp files.
hope all my info helps (looks like i may have solved CNet's problems w/ the phone, i think they should update their rating - what do u think?)

I've had every Sprint PDA, and this is one of the best so far. I was ready to switch back to regular phone as I was tired of carrying a heavy phone, but this phone has sold me. It's lightweight, great screen, and 2 MP camera. I love the sliding keyboard. It's amazing. Well worth the cost.

This is basically a mini lap top. This phone has a one touch button on the top right corner for internet explorer, and a one touch button on the top left corner for text messages, and push e-mail. So its practical and pretty easy to use. The sliding Qwerty with large buttons is like extra leg room in a plane compared to the Treo's and the Q's qwerty, but why sprint, why did you not give us picture messaging? Why do you sacrifice this feature with PDA's? It lost a point there with me. I am not a huge picture message guy, but it would be nice, the most basic camera phone has that feature why can't the most expensive one have it too? The unstoppable blinking lights will make you want to throw this phone against your bedroom wall at night while you try to sleep. The mogul lost another point with that. Still over all better then the I phone.
