Review of HTC Mogul (PPC-6800) for Sprint USA - published June 18, 2007 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. In the USA, apart from GSM and HSDPA networks of AT&T and T-Mobile, also CDMA and EVDO networks are in operation. If you would like to get a powerful Pocket PC phone powered by Windows Mobile 6, that works with CDMA EVDO, then HTC Mogul is for you! The Mogul Sprint is the first CDMA Windows Mobile 6 Professional phone to hit the US. The Mogul is a dual-band digital CDMA phone that works on the 800/1900 MHz bands and has support for Sprint Power Vision (EV-DO Rev. 0) for fast data. The Mogul has good reception in the Dallas area where Sprint has fairly good coverage. It gets a slightly stronger signal than the Treo 700p and Treo 755p as measured by Sprint's debug screen which shows actual reception in decibels. Signal bars vary between manufacturers and so aren't the most accurate indicator of reception. At 2 bars out of 4, the phone measured -88dbm, while the Treo 700p in the same location read -94 dbm. We didn’t experience call drops as long as the phone had at least one bar on the signal meter, and we did note the signal meter seemed particularly twitchy and under-optimistic on our Mogul. Voice quality is very good and loud when making calls from quiet environments; in noisy environments (such as a Starbucks shop where the cappuccino machines are running), the DSP creates some artificial noise.
