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.
