Tonystarks2984 - were you required to extend your contract for another 2 years to get that price? Seems like a lot of Slickdealer's aren't able totransfer their sero plans over to the new phone, what did you tell the rep at best buy ? thanks

Yea it was an upgrade with a 2yr extention..I dont mind I wanna keep sero for as long as I can.
We did run into a lil problem when she initially tried to upgrade me, she had to call sprint. Normally even on sprints website now they want u to upgrade thephone using that sero store so thats why she had issues.
She just called in and asked if my phone was due for an upgrade and that was it. She asked me what plan I had for best buy records, told her and she was likeahhh u know about that. Did the transaction and hooked up the discount.
I dont know why ppl are having issues, I guess I just got a good rep. She used to work directly for sprint so she was tellin me mad stuff.

I have insurance on my Mogul. When they stop producing it, and my phone gets "stolen/lost" will I be able to pay the $50 replacement fee and get thePro instead?

Highly doubt it. My boy still has the 6700 and the other day his keyboard malfunctioned. He brought it in and they told him they still had 6700sin stock so he couldnt get the mogul.
If they still got the 6700s and those came out yrs ago, im pretty sure they gonna have mogul in stock for a hot min.

Yea. When u click send while having a picture on the screen u have several options. One of them is sprint picturemail and it works good so far. It sends and recieves in a threaded sms sort of way. So no longer do you have to go to the sprint website to open the picture, u can open it right on thephone.
Ram test
-------
Havent fully messed with the phone yet..but I did install beejive. Whats funny bout that is that it recognized I was on the touch pro and set that as my awaymessage..couple ppl was tight lol.
It was a good time to test out the ram. So I had Beejive, Opera, Sprint TV open at the same time. all of those used about 49% of the ram. Everything stillran smooth, could go through the menus and file elxplorer with the same speed as if nothing was open.
Then for the hell of it, I decided to open Sling Player mobile as well. That pushed the usage of the ram to about 52%. Now im starting to see it slow down. The touchflo doesnt moves as quickly and everything is starting to crawl. Still useable but just slower.
In reality tho I wouldnt have all these programs running all at once...but with my mogul just having opera and beejive would take about 80% so I coulndt reallyuse anyother program or it would just freeze at some point.
So the ram def makes a diff and considering that Touchflo also uses a bit of the ram all the time...its def worth the upgrade. Since I had the phone nofreezing whatsoever, this was the first occurance of slowdown that I witnessed and thats cause all the apps I had open are normally ram hogs.
-----
Oh quick tidbit bout the cam. Its very good. What bugged me out was when I went to take a pic..that joint used autofocus lol. I was like
Youtube is Crystal clear. My by got his G1 yesterday so we did a swap today to check out each others phones. The first thing he did was fire up youtube andwas pissed. I looked at his and his vid was kinda fuzzy. He was barking that since Google owned youtube, his should look like mine
Opera Browser is pretty good. Havent tried a flash site yet but did browse niketalk and it moved fairly quickly. Still havent installed skyfire yet.
Issues
-----
The earpiece is low. Even when the volume is turned all the way up. I still have my plastic over the main screen and I thought that was the problem..but Iremoved it to test it and its still pretty low. I seen ppcgeeks got a fix for that so ima test it out.
Another issure is, dont know if the weather app is down on sprint side..but since I got the phone, I havent been able to get the weather runnin. Checked theboards and its not only me so hopefully they fixed that soon.
-------
The onscreen keyboard is pretty good too. Like I said earlier I have big hands so I didnt expect to be using it at all. But since I had the phone, I foundmyself using it more than the actual keyboard. Based on the fact that today I could only do one handed operations. For sendin texts and all its very good.Suprising.
umm thats all for now I guess. Wrote mad stuff but I hope some of yall get it so yall can share opinions soon.

I looked at his and his vid was kinda fuzzy. He was barking that since Google owned youtube, his should look like mine. (G1 is not a bad phone tho. That barcode scanner thing and the street view is crazy...but ill stick wit my pro...Crank)
