I have had the phone for a week. Not once has the alarm gone off at the proper time. In fact, the phone must be "awake" for the alarm to go off, something had to do when it goes into sleep mode every 5 min. The design of the phone is awkward. The ability's of the phone are phenomenal. Over all, I did not like the hardware, but the OS of the phone is super sweet. I do believe that my phone as a bad software version, as the ok button does not consistently work, it randomly picks screens to go to, and there is about a 10 second lag between keyboard and screen.

Windows freeze, battery life issue

Bought this phone in Nov 07. I was debating on a BB or HTC. HTC won out because of wifi feature. I should have gotten the BB. This phone has many neat features that I will never use. Realizing now I only need: phone, text, email and web browsing. All four core features are hard to use and setup on the HTC. To make matters worse windows mobile keeps on freezing up. Programs would not close even after you close it...huh???To reset (unfreeze) windows mobile I would have to remove the battery and power up again, generally rebooting. THis happens at a frequency of once/day. Battery life is terrible even after setting it to be the most efficient. I use the phone approx. 30 mins/day (talk) and about 30mins/day email and browsing, each day I would need to charge it. I cannot go a day without charging it. In January the phone would not power up at all. I have given up on it and bought myself a BB. So far so good with the BB.

Gave up the Razr2 V9M for this...Gladly.

I've had a lot of phones, all incapable of doing what I want them to do. Some I've had have been high style while others are work horses. I gave up a Razr2 V9M for this phone and I gotta say I'm glad. I've had this phone going on a month now and I've HIGHLY customized it and setup all the features the way that I want them to be. I've yet to be disappointed in this aspect. While I did give up picture mail capability I have since found a work around. True, it's a little bit more work than just POINT-CLICK-SEND, but I gladly give all that up for what I have gained. Including dowloading ringtones, themes, pictures and content directly from my favorite web-site. While with my Razr2 I had to do a lot of work for just getting a ringtone on there. Yeah, the slimness of the Razr2 beat the bulkiness of the Mogul, but the gaining of a full QWERTY keyboard more than makes up for that. My Emails are now instantly accessible and my QWERTY keyboard makes answering them a breeze. The touch screen is awesome, can't stop touching it, even if just to see the screen light up. Ha! I was very hesitant at first to make the switch, but now I'm glad I did. The standard web browser does still kills a lot of pages, but installing Opera took care of that. And with some new updates coming from Sprint that'll be fully taken care of soon. Overall, the sound quality of the phone calls I get are excellent, even with only one bar and the EVDO service (My city still doesn't have Rev A) also continues to be speedy as all heck, even with one bar. Another thing I gained with this phone is the ability to send and receive bluetooth files and songs. A feature which is disabled on all other sprint phones I've dealt with. In the end this phone is not for everyone. If you aren't ready for a smart phone or a phone that requires a lot of user input or know how don't get this phone! Stay with the phone you have now and don't down this phone just because you don't know how to use it or it was too much for you to handle. This phone is for either corporate types or computer geeks like myself or power users. All others I'm afraid will be lost and find the phone unsatisfactory. I'm sticking with this phone until the new replacement for it (The Raphael) comes out. And who knows? I might even just forego the Raphael and just keep my Mogul. Time will tell.
