Product Description
| Leave the laptop behind and stay connected and productive wherever you roam with the HTC Mogul PPC-6800 Smartphone, the newest Windows Mobile 6 Professional Edition device from Sprint. The successor to the popular Sprint PPC-6700, the HTC Mogul has a surprise waiting up its sleeve: just slide the top of the phone sideways to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. And the new Windows Mobile 6 operating system enables you to view and edit Word and Excel documents as well as provides instant message capabilities via Windows Live Messenger. (See more details about Windows Mobile 6 below.) The included Outlook Mobile software offers up-to-date e-mail, calendar and contact information.
Sprint Service Sprint's music service is another EV-DO-powered service that makes the M510 all the more desirable. With the Sprint Music Store, your phone is a music player, letting you buy, download, and then jam out wherever you are with new songs or old favorites. Offering a growing selection of more than 1.6 million songs, the store provides you two copies of each song--one for the phone and another for the PC, as well as the ability to burn songs to a CD using Windows Media Player. Save your songs to a memory card with a capacity that's right for you. You can even pause to take a call without missing a beat.
The sliding keyboard provides a familiar interface and allows for quick and efficient input of information, and the slide-to-hide form factor eliminates bulkiness for a sleek and stylish design. It measures just 0.73 inches thin and weighs a svelte 5.8 ounces. The 2.8-inch color touchscreen transreflective TFT screen automatically orients itself depending on how you hold the phone (i.e., from portrait to landscape and back again). It displays 65,000 colors and has a 320 x 240-pixel resolution. In addition to supporting EV-DO wireless broadband networking, the Mogul also features Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), which enables you to use open wireless networks at airports and coffee shops. This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity, and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server--using Sprint's Mobile Broadband Network. And when connected to a Bluetooth headset, caller information for incoming calls will be spoken through the Bluetooth device. Decide to answer the call without ever looking at your phone. The 2-megapixel autofocus camera (with up to 8x digital zoom) on the back of the Mogul captures images up to 1600 x 1200 pixels (good enough for prints up to 8 x 10 inches). You can make such camera adjustments as white balance and exposure metering, choose from resolution modes (such as sports for fast-moving action) as well as use of the integrated flash, and set a self-timer of either 2 or 10 seconds. Additionally, the Wing can capture video with or without audio (in MPEG-4, 3GPP2, or H.263 format, the latter being best for sending via MMS). You can also play back audio and video files downloaded from the Internet or sent to you via email using the integrated Windows Media Player. Other features include:
Vital Statistics Powered by Windows Mobile 6
With Windows Mobile 6, your phone will finally be able to emulate the power and features of your PC's Microsoft Office suite. You'll be able to neatly view, navigate and edit Word documents and Excel spreadsheets in their original formatting--without affecting tables, images or text--as well as view PowerPoint presentations.
All Windows Mobile 6 powered devices include Direct Push Technology for up-to-date e-mail delivery and automatic synchronization of Outlook calendars, tasks and contacts through Microsoft Exchange Server. It also offers a set of important device security and management features that include the capability to remotely wipe all data from a device should it be lost or stolen, helping ensure that confidential information remains that way. |

What a FANTASTIC device! |
| Review Date: March 16, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Daniel C. Long, San Francisco, CA USA |
| This device replaced my iPAQ-4450 from 2003 and Motorola RAZR from AT&T/Cingular (you think you have call quality problems? I could not even - during the 2-year contract - call from my own house!). I had none - absolutely none! - of the bad experiences that the other reviewers complain and whine about.
The onscreen keyboard too small? Shell out $10.00 for a third-party utility. It's a little thick? It's got a pull-out keyboard -- what do you expect? It's impossible to dial the phone one-handed (when driving, etc.) -- thank God you're not anywhere near my car. With the new ROM upgrade (which HTC/Sprint delivered on 03/12/2008) the speed has improved remarkably and -- more important -- the battery life is much better now too. Windows Mobile 6.0 -- or the recently introduced Windows Mobile 6.1 -- makes syncing absolutely flawless and without effort with my desktop where I, yes, use Office 2007. And the amount of third-party software (both free and for fee) make it unbelievably customizable. I'm still blown away by it, and extremely happy with my purchase. |
Best sprint PDA phone if you are above average tech-wise |
| Review Date: December 14, 2007 |
| Reviewer: deathbyfees, Minneapolis |
| I have several friends who have tried out the Mogul and didn't care for it, mainly due to the fact they either like 1-handed dialing or are used to the Blackberry. Still, you can get robust email, text messaging, web surfing and a host of other add-ons if you are comfortable doing research and some trial-and-error. There are annoyances/idiosyncracies but they are easily overcome. Launching calls/apps due to the extra buttons? One tap to lock the phone (it's become a habit in just 2 days). Can't dial easily? Took just a few minutes to set up voice-dialing and I can actually dial okay using 1 hand on the touch screen.
The iPhone and Blackberry have very real advantages over the Mogul but you get to pay about $50 more a month and hope someday they are opened up for add-ons. I love the Mogul because it is somewhat of a blank slate and I can tweak it heck and back to make it do what I want. Between ppcgeeks and sprintusers dot com, there's enough savvy users to get the help you need. Pros: Small but solid, nice screen, WM 6, nice keyboard, portrait/landscape views, fun to surf on. Can add 2 GB memory and probably 4 GB before too long (if not more). Can add tons of programs and customize almost any part of the interface you want. Basic camera is so-so but it has a flash (very neat) and I find that the sports mode takes good pictures and the video is above average. Addictive -- I'm constantly playing with it and finding new things to do. It's a pleasure to use. Cons: Limited memory -- you need to get good at turning off programs as it will keep IE, IM running after you close the screen. No idea why. More likely a WM-6 'feature' than Mogul-specific. Limited battery -- not horrible but not a strength. I keep a $15 car/wall combo charger with me and will probably end up keeping an extra charged battery as well. EVDO and GPS functionality pending -- supposedly coming Jan. 28. You need to learn the ins-and-outs of WM-6. What should take 2 screens, takes 5 and and the most useful settings are buried but it's from Microsoft so what do you expect? It's still better than Vista ;) As far as call quality, it's been better than my M610 or my wife's LG Fusic but we are in an area with a strong sprint signal -- if you are having call quality issues, it could be the connection and not the phone. Do you want an easy to use PDA out of the box? Get a blackberry or iPhone. Do you want a phone that within 6 months will be able to do about anything? Try out the Mogul. |
Works great with the newest update |

| Had the same issues as most people at first with Bluetooth connectivity and no GPS but since my lastest update both have been working perfecly.
Overal the Mogal s a great phone and PDA. I have had it for 6 months and it has been very reliable. The new oftware update added a task manager so that programs can be shut down instead of left running in the back ground. this helped my battery life dramatically. |
