Are you really willing to pay an extra 80-130 for better CS? I completely agree that VZW has better CS but that isn't worth the extra money. Right now I definitely have better EVDO in my everyday areas (NY metro) which completely surprised me. Let's face it. If Sprint carried a 760 we would all buy it. They probably eventually will but it would be a tough wait. The Mogul is definite upgrade to the 730 and anybody that says otherwise has used both enough to determine that. I can't comment on the 760 but I like the fact that it is slimmer and keys on the front and will have the rugged "Samaung" feel. The extra buttons on the 6800 make navigating it a dream compared to the 730. Not sure if the 760 has these extra buttons.

My problem with Sprint is, service area for voice, and service area for EVDO. I currently have EVDO in my home town with Verizon, Sprint does not. I know all of the areas I get service with Verizon, and I know for a fact, Sprint doesn't have service in all of those areas. So I will continue to pay 80-130/month more for actually being able to use my phone, over being frustrated and not being able to use it, and most of all, not having EVDO in my home town...

That completely makes sense for people with spotty Sprint service. When I bought the 730 a couple of years back I tried Sprint and had to return the phone because I had horrible service in the areas I now have great service. This was 2-3 years ago mind you. I saw your post on VZW changing their policy on changing your plan with regards to contract end date. While that is awesome news. Sprint is still cheaper by far. I wish VZW would get their act together. Chances are in 2 years when my SERO contract is up VZW will be better.

Another strike against mogul/Sprint is that they do not have a free "redirector" wireless sync software. I spent a few hours trying to get activesync push working on our exchange server at work, but to no avail. I think there is something messed up on our server since the activesync properties pages are all grayed out in the exchange control panel. I hate VZ's wireless sync, but at least it's worked relatively well for me for the last few years.

Does Sprint plan on developing similar software?

Exchange 2003 and 2007 work like champs right out of the box. Are you sure it is enabled/installed on the server? Is your user enabled for it? Both Verizon and Sprint and probably most providers have crappy programs. I can't think of one useful proggy from either company. HTC and Samsung have some occasional winners. i.e. Samsung Picsel. I :heart: the Exchange 2007 and WM6 combo!

I am sure it is installed. I also followed a few different "how to" pages on setting everything us with certificates and such. Nothing seems to work.

I suspect it's not configured correctly because when I go to the properties page of activesync in the exchange control panel, all options are gray/not changeable.

I suspect some of the problem is due to our upgrade from exchange 2000 to 2003 sp2.

Looking around, I did find this free open source sync software that may work instead: Funambol

After using the Mogul for a few days, I decided to give it up and wait it out for the i760. Two reasons. Although Sprint doesn't have horrible coverage here, it's still not as strong as VZ.

The second, and main reason, is that I am not happy with the Mogul. I'd rather keep my 730 than the Mogul. The touch screen isn't nearly as nice/sensitive/accurate as on the 730, it's easy to accidentally press buttons, the keyboard buttons have little/no tactile feedback (can't always tell if you depressed a key), it actually seems slower than the i730 in some situations, and almost everything about it feels cheap (like it will break within a month). I tried to keep an open mind and wanted to like the phone, but couldn't do it. Maybe I've been spoiled by the 730. So, my only real option is to wait it out for the 760 (unless some kind soul is willing to sell me theirs early )

no jog wheel on the i760 i'm guessing that's what the buttons on the front are for..... anyone know if gps is gonna be on either one of the two phones or JUST the juke - saw that the juke says vz navigator

no Navigator so far for the i760.....but I've seen some whispers that it may be available in the future

available in the future meaning a download or what.. i wonder if the phone comes like that and verizon disables it.. think we can expect this phone on another carrier?

It would be a downloaded app--probably with an extra charge for usage, knowing VzW. VZ Navigator is specific to VzW. The thing is, for 100.00 or less, you can get a portable small BT GPS that you can use with free Windows Live or Google maps.
