I have the Mogul and love it. After installing a codec it does play YouTube but does not work with Sprint TV. Sprint just released a new ROM for it which enables GPS and faster internet. If you do get this phone, do a little bit of research on the Sprint SERO plan. Can't beat it.

I don't remember exactly where I got the program from. Just do a Google search and I am sure you will have no problems finding it. I would also recommend that you update to the new ROM immediately and then install some of the memory cleaners which free up memory. If the phone is running slow just run one and they work well. I use one from Oxios. There are all kinds of things that you can add to the phone that improves its functionality. I really recommend Google Maps with the GPS. It works very well. Post if you have other questions.

ok, B. just got back from AT&T. they've got a phone of the same kind known as the "Tilt". nice phone, but the service package is a joke. $165 for all the their features compared to $90 i get with Sprint ( unlimited calls-anytime, unlimited text, gps, unlimited internet, unlimited music, ect)

talked to a dude @ sprint who showed me his that had something called slingbox which works with his DirectTV (i've got). you know anything about?...

Re: Hows this SmartPhone?...

Stick with Sprint if your service is good, but switch to the Sero plan.

http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=204426&t=716694

highlights:

1. Sprint Employee Referral Offer 500 (minutes) for $30.00 per month
2. Sprint Employee Referral Offer 1250 (minutes) for $49.99 per month
3. Sprint Employee Referral Offer 2500 (minutes) for $99.99 per month

• Unlimited Sprint Vision or Power Vision (Vision for Vision phones, Power Vision for Power Vision phones)
• Unlimited Mobile to Mobile
• Unlimited Sprint Picture Mail
• Unlimited Roaming
• Unlimited Nights & Weekends (either 7 or 9 PM, depending on when you started contract)
• Nationwide Long Distance
• Crystal Clear Calls
• Voice Mail
• Caller ID
• Call Waiting
• Numeric Paging
• Three-Way Calling
• Ready Link

I'm staying with AT&T mainly b/c I have a family plan and it's just gonna be a hassle (plus, I just extended my plan another 2 years), but from the posts on slickdeals, IF they get service, you can't beat the price.

Slingbox is used to broadcast your TV connection over the internet, but I have no idea how well it works. Maybe others here have it that could give you more advice. Definitely go for the SERO plan though. It is worth it even if you don't get the company discount.

I know this phone has bluetooth issues. I haven't tried syncing mine, so I can't help you there. Also, there is no picture text messages, you have to email pictures.
