Mogul vs. Treo755p (Sprint)
Getting ready to buy my first Smartphone (currently have the Sanyo MM8300); long time Sprint user and happy with them. Went to Sprint store to try some out. Can't decide between 755 and the Mogul. Most of you all seem to be comparing the Mogul to other Windows-based devices. I realize I may not be comparing apples to apples here. Had a few questions/concerns about each phone. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!

Not an easy answer, but I'll try and help you out. I have a Mogul, my wife has a 755, so I have experience with both. Neither of us would trade for the other. There are other browsers (most notably Opera Mini) that will work on the treo (and Mogul for that matter) but if internet is high priority, the Mogul DEFINITELY trumps the treo bc of faster browsing and built in WIFI. I can't even stand to check my usual sites on the treo. On the other hand, the form factor in the treo is more refined, and has a slightly more solid feel. Windows will do more and is a lot more customizable, but ultimately it is about what you like. I might suggest trying out the Mogul for AT LEAST 2 weeks, as there is a learning curve, and if you are unhappy with...

Wow -- thank you for the great insight. My husband and I made a similar decision to you and your wife! Only I got the Mogul and he got the Treo. We had some service issues with Sprint and so I've only just started to use it. I may "lose" a week of my 30 day trial as a result but I do have a call into customer retention to see if they can do anything about that.
Question for you on the Mogul: I'm not sure I understand how to use the phone with Wi-Fi or why. Are you saying I can connect through Wi-Fi instead of the Sprint modem and surf faster (I'm assuming)?
So far, the Mogul has been a life-saver as I had a family emergency that took me out of town suddenly and while I couldn't receive phone calls on the phone (weird glitch that is...
