"The Mogul is an ALI-capable smart device equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver supporting a satellite-based GPS ALI-capable network to comply with the FCC’s ALI requirements."

Further...

"Finally, customers are advised that the Mogul’s ALI capability is to be used for E911 purposes only."

Does this mean that you cannot use the built in GPS for use with Google Maps?]]>Jun 18th 2007 12:08PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/Jun 22nd 2007 8:09PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://navigation.sprint.com/snweb/

128 more rom
no external antenna
about 30% thinner
wm6
rev a in the fall
slightly better camera.

so it is what the 6700 should have been. 1 year ago it would have been top notch. Now it's just a way over due fix for the 6700.

Smart money bets Sprint better have a new unit ready to come out by December.

I'm thinking something with a 640x480 or better screen, gps, and 4 gig + rom, 128 meg memory]]>Jun 18th 2007 12:20PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/
The chipset supports Qualcomm’s Assisted GPS (AGPS) know as gpsOne. A-GPS needs another component, usually a server located within the Cellular network. This takes into consideration that the GPS cannot always ‘see’ a satellite in the ‘Urban Canyons of a city. It is an answer to the E-911 mandate to be able to locate a phone even in poor coverage areas.

This is a very different phone than the 6700.

I want to take advantage of all thats possible today.. not yesterday!

Sprint needs to make an effort to make available new phones that are not crippled or using old or outdated technology to their customers in a much more timely fashion...]]>Jun 18th 2007 1:00PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/

Oh, and I only paid about $150 for my 6700 when I got it a little over a year ago. Sprint bent over backwards to give me discounts when I called them up.]]>Jun 21st 2007 7:45AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/
But yeah, at least this is something 3 times better then the iphone.
The camera could always be better, but its at the point where you can get a good digital camera by itself for cheap.

Why doesnt Sprint offer some sorta GPS add-in service Like boost does with FreeMobileTracking . That would get heaps more users over to their table.]]>Jun 25th 2007 5:02PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/Jun 21st 2007 7:46AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/Jun 22nd 2007 9:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/

I'm still no closer to figuring out the GPS situation on the Mogul than when I first began 3 days ago. After nearly 2 hours of being on hold with Sprint telesales, tech support, advanced tech. support, nobody knows the abilities of this phone. I use TeleNav with my blackberry, and only want to know if you can use Sprint Navigation with the HTC Mogul. Two different sales reps have told me two different things (one yes, and one no), I called two different stores (one yes, one no), tech support told me they have no idea, but would transfer me to telesales or adv. tech support. Advanced tech support was much more knowledgeable with GPS in general and I felt comfortable that this guy knew what he was talking about. Although, he couldn't find any information at ALL regarding the use of navigation and the Mogul's GPS chip. He thinks it's only for E911 use.

Anyone out there with first hand knowledge? Anyone currently using Sprint Navigation for turn-by-turn directions with the HTC Mogul via SPRINT? This is the only hold-up keeping me from purchasing this amazing phone. I utilize my GPS too much not to have it, nor do I want to purchase a large in-vehicle unit. ]]>Jul 13th 2007 5:30PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/Jul 14th 2007 10:01PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/Sep 20th 2007 4:07PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/Jul 16th 2007 12:49PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/06/18/hands-on-with-the-sprint-mogul-by-htc/
Well, I just got off the phone with them (waited 3 seconds before they answered) and the guy said that it will work with Sprint Navigation right out of the box.
