Notes
Alltel (USA) PPC-6800 www.alltel.com Bell Mobility (Canada) PPC-6800 www.bell.ca Telus Mobility (Canada) HTC P4000 first carrier to offer this phone Sprint HTC Mogul (PPC-6800) Available via Telesales, Retentions and through www.sprint.com
Verizon XV6800 Reports on PDAPhoneHome of some business customers receiving early shipments.
Questions
Answer: There is a new firmware that reduces how choppy your voice is to the other party - but it randomly shuts off the BT!
- Is the HTC Mogul discontinued after a 6 month run? Rumor has it some of the bugs in the mogul are unfixable via firmware and the unit is to be discontinued.
- Is HTC working on a fix for the Bluetooth issues on the Sprint Mogul? This phone has been out for 3 months - still no fix mentioned on their site - I guess they don't care!
- It is widely rumored that this phone has a GPS chip that has been disabled. Will there be a hack or workaround to enable GPS capabilities?
Answer: Not likely, it is AGPS which requires a connected call to get data location.
Alternative Answer: The chip on-board is reported to support multi-mode GPS [satellites only, towers only, or hybrid, essentially]. The question boils down to which features the vendors will disable in ROM. With the XV6700, for example, Verizon completely disabled all on-board GPS except E911.
- Will an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 become available?
Answer: The Sprint version comes standard with WM6. Other carrier adoption of WM6 is at the sole descretion of the carrier. Since the Sprint version was offered with WM6, HTC supports it. However if you call HTC tech support they will tell you that they only fully support WM5
Answer: Available now for Telus P4000
- Is there a theme-creating application that is compatible with this phone?
- What is the largest capacity microSD card that can be used? 2GB? 4GB?
Answer: 4GB
- When will this phone be available to US customers?
Answer: This phone is currently available in the US to customers of Sprint. They can obtain this handset via Telesales, Retentions and via Sprints website.
Important Update - HTC/Sprint can't get Mogul working - allowing you to trade it in for a different phone
For those who are frustrated by the defective Mogul - Sprint confirmed they won't have a firmware update available for the Mogul this year even though the phone has been out for 4 months. They are allowing customers who request it to trade it in for another phone.

Using a Telus HTC P4000 in Canada...."Synchronization cannot be started because you are not able to log on to the network and access information. Restart your desktop computer and synchronize again. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator." OR "ActiveSync has encountered a problem on the desktop. " Assuming you have all the latest versions of flash/software (Win Mobile 6, Win Mobile Device Center 6.1) and you are running Outlook 2007 on Vista - put the Office 2007 CD in and run the REPAIR utility. That should do it...
Bugs
Bell Mobility 2.13.666.0 and Sprint 2.09.651.3 - Alarms do not work when charging. Set Calander alarm for 6AM and charge overnight. It will not Wake. It will work if not on charger.
Sprint 2.09.651.3 - Microsoft Voice Command Confirmation does not work. Disable all conformations in VC Settings.
Sprint 2.09.651.3 - Windows Mobile Device Center issues over USB. Very slow often hangs. Tried setting Advanced USB on and off in device. Easy to lose Profile, some issues may be Vista.
Sprint 2.09.651.3 - Lenovo T60 Vista Laptop won't sync over or do anything over bluetooth except pair. May be Lenovo BT stack but PPC-6700 worked fine.
Sprint 2.09.651.3 - Low memory with clean device to start and seems to leak memory with usage. Some of this is all normal to have memory go down with usuage as file caches etc. expand but causes the device to often run out of memory.
Severe Bluetooth problems covered in the following threads - describing choppy BT / poor quality calls on the PPC6800
An issue has been widely reported regarding choppy outgoing sound when using the PPC6800 paired with a Bluetooth headset. The issue is not limited to any particular headset - just about every single popular BT headset has been reported to have a problem. - A firmware patch has been released 10/23/07 that helps you sound less choppy but now the BT unit shuts off frequently and loses connectivty with your headset. http://download.america.htc.com/RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_2.16.651.0_1.47.00_SPCS_NV124_0506_SPL106_Ship.exe Call HTC 866-449-8358 and Sprint 1-800-927-2199 - it takes MANY phone calls before they even consider the complaint a real issue as apparently neither actually has one of these phones or a BT headset to do any testing with.
