Sprint Mogul spotted in the wild, release looks impending

Well lookee what we have here: a Sprint PPC-6800, better known as the Mogul, sitting in the palm of what is no doubt one very pleased Howard Forums user. Now we're no analysts or nothin', but we'd suggest that the availability of this Apache-successor through Brightpoint bodes well for the June 18th launch date that Engadget Mobile caught wind of last week. Wait, isn't that tomorrow? Click through to catch the retail packaging...

[Thanks, ckeegan]

Tiny phone or giant hands?

It's a pretty small phone for its type, but those are still big hands.

There's another one called the Libra (S720) that may come out, and it's a slider with a phonepad on the front like the S710 (I think that's what it's called). That one is comparatively TINY and it's CDMA.

well i just was at my local sprint store today to get my Q's software updated and i asked about it and they dont have it in nor did they know anything about it at all. i was going to see if i could trade in my Q and pay the difference if they had it in. o well. Q works better now. this phone is sweet though.

I wish you didn't have to pay higher rates/monthly costs for smartphones :(

Hopefully, the iPhone will revolutionize that... the Sidekick did that and stopped halfway :P

@waiownsyou

With Sprint there are no differences in data plans between phones. No matter what phone you get from Sprint (pda, smart or dumb), the add-on Vision Access Pack gets you unlimited data for $15 a month.

This thing looks sweet. I'm going to have to fondle one before I decide to replace my two week old Palm 755p...damn, I'm such a gadget whore...
