HTC’s Sprint Mogul 6800 and Touch Windows Mobile v.6.1 Upgrade
So HTC finally released the highly anticipated WM v.6.1 upgrade for the Mogul on Monday July 21st and I couldn’t wait to install it. I was still a little worried about it so I installed it on my primary test Mogul and boy was a happy with it until, until, UNTIL, I saw how much it ate up the battery.
Some of the new features that were added are not of value to me but hey, it’s still good to have as others will benefit from them. I’m not into the TV stuff but it was a nice added compliment. I checked out a few stations and was quite pleased with the reception and service. I tried playing with the GPS but had some issues because I may need to setup an account or something.
One thing is for sure, it is the fastest loading Windows Mobile OS i’ve seen to date. Wow, I was very impressed with the speed of loading up even after I loaded up all my apps and utils on it. Restarting the device took under 30 seconds, WOW. It’s much faster and I no longer had that glitch when creating or responding to new emails where the screen only showed one side of the page.
I love the new text messaging features. It’s like an IM session that runs over the course of the conversation with the same person. It makes it so much easier to track back to previous IMs but I fear the "loading messages" part consumes memory. I do over 4000 (and counting) txt messages per month so managing my txt and txt’g for is critical for me. Yes, but of course I have an unlimited txt messaging plan.
If only the battery life was improved, oh the pain, oh the hurt. Anyway, it could have been worse so thank goodness for the new features, enhancements and well needed speeds.
