The Mogul, (UTStarcom 6800) is replacing the Apache (UTStarcom 6700), which was an amazing phone. The Mogul has all the same features, and then some. Not to mention, all the improvments over the older model.

The main difference between the Q and the Mogul are size and software. The Mogul runs Windows Mobile 6 Professional, and the Q runs Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone Edition. The difference? One is a newer version and has a touchscreen, the other is older and you must use buttons for everything.

It all depends on how much you'll use the features. PDA phones are nothing without data, but the Mogul does have WiFi so if you choose to not pay an arm and a leg for data, you can use WiFi where it's available.

I just got a 6700 for $50 brand new from sprint after rebates and contract discounts. I have been a customer with them for slightly over 2 years. And we actually purchased the last 4 we could find for our family.

I will admit my parents liked the idea of all the wonderful things it could do, but I know windows mobile is not the most user friendly in the world. So I tried telling them it would take me a little while to come up with some software to expand its features and make user friendly... well it took me a week to get to it and my mom started to want to back out! I went ahead and loaded the software I had been testing out on these phones immediately to appease her, I just don't want to change to another program that works better and have to then re-teach them the software.

I have been in the PDA scene since 2003, so I am very aware of the good apps and bad apps and what I would want and how to deal with them.

And for the price I will take the 6700 over the Mogul any day.

If you have a Windows Mobile phone you MUST get wisbar advance 2 first and foremost. And number two you need a good dashboard program such as snoopsoft osx themed dashboard with times, or a new program I am liking SPB Shell suite I think it is. Also SPB insight is good. Handyget(download manager), SKtools, Dynamo, and Pocket Player.

Dynamo and SPB Shell and Pocket Player are some of the newer programs that I did have back in 2003.

The Mogul is nice. It's biggest downfall is it's lack of RAM. It still only has 64mb which means it fills up pretty quick and then things start slowing down, or worst case, crashing. With "normal" usage though, it's usually going to be alright. Just go into the memory manager and end all processes once or twice a day and you'll be fine, or pick up something like HTC X-Button so that you can make programs actually close when you press X.

Bluetooth is pretty much crap. Personally, it works fine with my Jawbone, but my HT820 headphones get about half a second of music, then cut out and don't work. Several people report issues like skipping and incompatibility with Bluetooth. It's hoped and assumed that a firmware upgrade in the future will fix this.

Speaking of firmware, this fall the Mogul will be updated to EVDO Rev. A. There's also speculation about GPS. Right now, GPS is completely off. Some say it will be enabled with the fall firmware, some disagree, and even when people agree that it will be, the functionality is argued (whether it will be very simple, or if it will actually work with third party apps).

Other than that, it pretty much works as expected for a PPC. I've had mine for... I guess 2-3 weeks now, and I'm enjoying it. It's my first PPC or smartphone, so I'm still getting used to a few things. The battery isn't like your typical dumbphone. My previous phones would last at least 2 days on a charge. The best I can make my Mogul last is about a day, and sometimes it's a lot less if I'm messing around a lot, but it is a PPC and I have things like Direct Push setup for my work email, so it's expected. Just keep a cable or cradle to charge it at home and work (and in the car if you want), and it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Then again, if you've had a PPC before, you're used to it.

Oh, and I absolutely, 100% agree that Sprint's customer services is absolutely horrible, but luckily, after a week or so you'll have everything setup and not have to talk to them again. I have a SERO (employee referal) plan, so I pay $30 a month for 500 minutes, 7pm nights and weekends, unlimited mobile to mobile, unlimited text messages and unlimited internet, so I deal with it. If I were with any other provider like AT&T I'd pay at least that much even for the unlimited internet (can't remember, it's either $30 or $40).

Overall, I'm pleased so far. The phone is nice, I'm enjoying having a PPC, I can't beat the plan I have with Sprint, and EVDO works well in my area. The only phones I'd own from Sprint are the Mogul or the soon-to-be-released RAZR 2. But for the price of the two, sure the RAZR 2 is a beautiful phone, but it would cost as much, if not more than the Mogul, and with the Mogul I have incredibly more power.

I personally was looking at the Q until I saw the Mogul. Personally, I like the fact that the keyboard slides out instead, and the fact taht it runs WM6 instead of WM5 sinched it for me. So I switched my choice one I have enough to buy it.

I actually got the Mogul first, but didn't like not having the freedom of a touch screen and returned it for the Mogul during my first 30 days. I absolutely love everything the Mogul can do.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
