HTC Mogul to hit Sprint June 18?

by Chris Ziegler posted Jun 5th 2007 at 2:31PM

The HTC Mogul's (aka PPC-6800's) release date on Sprint has been about as solid as a Vista (or Leopard) beta; first we heard May (and we all know how that turned out), then we heard October -- now we're hearing June. Yeah, June '07, as in "this month." That's a nice little surprise, is it not? Of course, dates are always subject to change, but seeing how we're spying some official-looking material now touting June 18 as the date (with an EV-DO rev. A upgrade dropping this fall), it's promising. MSRP for the device clocks in at $549.99, with a two-year saving you $150 to bring it down to $399.99. As expected, Windows Mobile 6 is on board -- thank goodness -- though it appears that retail channels won't get it until nearly a month later on July 16. Until then, we guess the website's the way to go.

[Thanks, anonymous tipster]

Everyone is saying that is phone is already outdated. I really want to get this phone but if there is a better option just around the corner or already out where can i find it and what makes it so much better than this phone???

The p4550 is what is better then this. Close call though. If I didn't want a better GPS and have to deal with TeleNav i would get this one no doubt.

I heard that ppc-6800 was coming with gps hardware. Are you saying that the gps in the 6800 wont be true gps?

this phone has true GPS. The FCC let confidential HTC photos slip for a couple hours yesterday before reinstating confidentiality and there was definitely a dedicated GPS antenna on the Titan.

What is the definition of true GPS? What's the difference between a true GPS and TeleNav?

the p4550 is GSM so it will be a while if ever they will release it for Sprint.

Sean Young @ Jun 5th 2007 7:20PM

the p4550 is a GSM phone. Is there any info about a CDMA version?

it's odd that they picture shows it with wm5 and not wm6 like that slider offered by Dave. That makes me feel kinda uncomfortable.

PS. whenever someone brings up the KAISER, just cover your ears and close your eyes. Trust.

Given the Qualcomm patent suit loss, has the HTC Mogul for Sprint been delayed or has it been named exempt from the import ban?

Neutral

Le Var S @ Jun 13th 2007 11:38AM

Good Question!

Neutral

Scott @ Jun 13th 2007 3:29PM

Very good question. I have not heard anything on a ban or a date confirmation. I have been looking very hard to find something.

Neutral

Mike @ Jun 14th 2007 9:20PM

Well it looks like it is delayed yet again, but not due to the qualcomm ban, it appears that there is a software issue...see http://www.ppcgeeks.com/ppc-6800-mogul-delayed-t5622.html

The mogul is on sprint's website now but local stores (at least in my area - WI) don't have any phones yet. They weren't sure when but said "any day now"
