Sprint's Mogul Slide Deck
A pdaPhoneHome user posted the contents of the Sprint Mogul/PPC-6800 slide deck, and while it's not as good as seeing the actual device released, it does confirm some of our expectations: the device will have WM6, 416MHz CPU, 256MB ROM/64MB RAM, future support for EVDO Rev. A., etc. Overall, it looks to be a nice upgrade from the PPC-6700.
Anyone looking forward to this unit?

For those of us that have to use Sprint who cares! It's an upgrade from the 6700 and that's what matters.
- Looking forward to it here!

Yep, an 8525, but with WM6. I have been waiting for an upgrade to 6700 for almost a year. Now, as long as I don't get screwed over and have to pay full price for the upgrade, I'm there.

Oh, really? Tell me that the 8525 has 256MB of ROM. Or that it has WM6. Or that it has EVDO Rev. A support.
Of course it looks similar -- that's the point. But your comparison is oversimplistic.

I wonder if it has push-to-talk, so I can use it on the Nextel network.

It won't have PTT, and the Mogul is different from the 8525 - first of all, Sprint users will be able to use it with ridiculously cheap 3G that covers a lot more area than at&t's 3G, and it'll come with WM6 out of the box along with more ROM.
The only thing I'll miss is using the A-GPS with a GPS program like Telenav etc.

Too bad HTC doesn't make phones with VGA displays. Does anyone know of 3rd party programs that let you tether? I hear tethering costs extra with the 6800, since they can actually track it now.

By design, this device is superior to the 8525 (Hermes). From the casing material and thinness to the spring-loaded keyboard - I've played with the TELUS version myself and am very impressed. A shame HTC didn't release a refresh of the Hermes in this form as I am a GSM user. As noted above - the 256MB ROM is an excellent addition, I generally dislike installing programs on storage card.
