It's good to have found this group
As a new user or about to be one, I have a need for an internet phone that runs Mobile 5/6. After much research, I've landed on the Sprint Mogul. I'll be using it mostly for email, surfing the net, and streaming internet radio via Live365's new Windows Mobile 6 application. Basically, I need to stay connected to my business while away from my laptop.
Before I make my purchase tomorrow, I'm concerned about the RAM. I think the Mogul comes with 128k RAM and is upgradeable to 2MB. Am I correct about this, and if so, should I get the upgrade immediately?
Also, can I use external stereo headphones that have a 1/8 stereo phono plug with the headset USB adapter bundled with the phone?
Is there any other upgrades I should be concerned about as a new user?
I'll be using the phone mostly in NYC. Many thanks in advance.

The Mogul/PPC6800/P4000 comes with 64mb Ram/256mb Rom and is (atthis point) non-upgradeable. It has a slot that holds a MicroSD card which can fit up to 4GB stock; 6GB on up with a specific .cab file.
The stock headphones have a mini-usb connector. You will have to purchase a mini-usb to 1/8 phono plug to use those headphones.
As far as upgrades... Welcome.
Read ALOT. There is much here in the way of software & hardware upgrades. The general forum has accessories & software development threads which can benefit many applications & devices.
Thanks xweaponx for the quick response and advice.

Can I pick up one of these at the local radioshack or is this something I need to special order somewhere else?
walrus44
Yes. You can pick up an adapter at Radio-Shack or Wal-Mart. Pretty much any place that carries audio products or headphones.

I'm sorry I'll have to disagree with you here... Maybe it's because of my area, But I was unable to find any retailers that had even heard of a Mini-usb / Headphone jack. They ALL looked at me like I was speaking Greek in China.
I had to order mine on-line from Moguldepot.com It was about $16.00 after shipping. Kinda expensive for a simple adapter if you ask me, but worth it since no one had even heard of it.
the mogul includes a Mini-USB to a 2.5mm Phono plug adapter... so you could have gotten a 2.5mm to 3.5mm standard adapter as well.

Before someone tells me to search again, please read my whole post: I don't think there's a conclusive analysis.
I love my FUZE, and while I don't own an iPhone headset, I have occasionally used my mom's iPhone headset with the HTC dongle that comes with the Fuze.
Also, over the summer, I bought some great replacement Sennheiser earbuds that are designed to work with the iPhone. (They're 3.5 mm tri-ring so they work with any 3.5 mm stereo out device)
Now that I chose the FUZE, I want the Mic from my iPhone and Sennheiser iPhone headsets to work with the FUZE. But, I don't want to use the clunky adapter.
I know Brando and Expansys have adapters available, but can anyone confirm that they work with the Mic on stereo headsets? Thy must be tri-ring (some people call this tri-pole, but I think that's less easy to understand) and it's difficult to confirm with people that such setups are working.
Also, I was wondering if there's a good adapter for mono 2.5 mm wired headsets.
Update
I've scoured the city and the only 3.5 mm headphone adapter is the one that came with the AT&T Fuze. I tried AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile stores, since all 4 carriers sell HTC devices and should conceivably carry an adapter.
I've bought one online in the meantime, but I spoke to a guy who owned his own cell phone shop and had my phone. He said NONE of the adapters work with the iPhone stereo headset!
Someone should make one, or post a simple guide on how to mod one.
I will note that a Verizon guy was nice enough to give me a 2.5 mm headset/USB combo dongle, but this too is kind of ghetto! Another Verizon guy said he had an extra HTC headset at home that he could give me, and the guy who owned his own shop said he could sell me the HTC headset.
As it stands, if I want to use my own headset I have to use either a Y-dongle or a brick-dongle! Not cool....

I can confirm the following does *not* work with iPhone-designed headphones with mic:

I too would like to use an extUSB to 3.5mm adapter with a headset with mic, rather than an adapter with a mic and having to search for a headphone with short cords. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have a T-Mobile G1 with the extUSB connector and I'm also looking for an adapter that allows me to connect iPhone/BlackBerry-style headsets with 3.5mm tri-ring (also called TRRS) connectors. This thread is the only one I could found on the Internet that talks about such a thing. Every extUSB to 3.5mm adapter I could found either lacks microphone support with only a 2-ring connector, or has a microphone built-in but still only has a 2-ring connector. It's been almost a year since this thread was started, but has there been any luck by anyone out there of finding such an adapter? I really don't have the skills to solder my own.
Did anybody try the extUSB with built-in microphone? I would like to be able to use it with some headset I own.
But... Is the microphone so crapy as I think?
Have you tried DIY? Here are some info for the pinout here, here, here.
Another one here
Here is JUST the 3.5mm adapter, haven't used it, but they say it's spose to work.

I would like to know what accessories the AT&T includes?
Will it includes the headset, and Micro SD card?
Thanks for help.

No it does not include a headset of a micro sd card. But it will include a little usb adapter where you can connect headphones and things like that. Some times AT&T might have promotions where you get a micro sd or a bluetooth headset and things like that but usually they do not include either.
What you get in the box is:
AT&T Fuze
A bunch of manuals
A screen protector
An extra stylus
A head/TV out adapator (I think that is what it is, although I haven't used it yet)
can the Fuze allow 16Gb Mirco SD?

It's not for TV out, it's for using normal headphones with it

OK

The adapter is to let you use different connections for different sizes of headphones.....PERIOD.... also usb headphones which you can connect directly to the phone anyway.
It supports TV out but with a different adapter which you have to buy.

does HTC have an official in-ear headfree?
Depends

I'm not completely sure, I think this depend on the carrier like the appearance of each carrier device.
At least in AT&T "Fuze" as they named it, and as far as I remember it only came with:
1. An additional stylus.
2. Screen Protector.
3. And the adapter for headphones.
Now a friend from AT&T added a 8 GB microsdhc with usb reader and a hard cover for free, this is as long they can justified it (not stealing) (just in case) .
I suggest you to ask the carrier and find out what they offer.
Also see if you like the way the manufactured their device, I LIKE BETTER AT&T DESIGN also their signal coverage.
I'm getting this phone today, and I hear it does NOT support MHL, which is not awesome because I have like 4 MHL adapters laying around. So I guess I need a "Slimport" out adapter, but they are coming up at $30 each. Anyone have a recommend on one that does not cost that much, or if they all do, any recommendations on the "best" one that does not cut out etc..?
they're all $30.. its the standard price http://www.amazon.com/SlimPort®-SP1...=UTF8&qid=1363706599&sr=1-1&keywords=Slimport
What is the best one for me to purchase? I looked online and they vary wildly in price, and some require external power to even function.
Anyone have some recommendations?

The cable from monoprice "mhl hdmi cable for android phones and tablets" works and doesn't need a power cord, it comes with everything you need including adapters. New here, so I can't post links

Whatever you do, Don't buy the super cheap ones off Amazon. Buy the more expensive Samsung one. I've bought several cheaper ones of Amazon and they always break or have super bad quality. They have "Samsung" branded ones on Amazon for 20$ but then you run the risk of getting counterfeit. I ordered this one straight from Samsung http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA over 8 months ago, and have used it across 3 devices (S3, S4, and Note 3) and haven't had any problems. Good luck!

No problem, glad I could be helpful. Another thing I would recommend is the Samsung smart dock. Found herehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009QW3TBK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1382314772&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70 it has a whole bunch of features. It is a USB hub, MHL adaptor, dock and headphone jack all in one. It's a bit spendy but an amazing little gadget. You can put your phone on it and just plug an HDMI cable straight into it and it works. It's pretty freaking cool.
Hello, is there a compatible Earphone Headset Adapter USB C AUX Audio Cable?
It's impossibile to find original.
Thanks
I got four of the official Samsung adapter. Works great and gets frequent OTA firmware updates. I got them very quickly with my preorder Samsung bucks. Also got the Galaxy Buds free that way, so I haven't had to use wired headphones much.

On Amazon I have bought one with Realtek ALC4042, the last chipset( I don't know, how to verify, if there is inside this chipset?!?) and it's works with any headset, but with microphone inside original Samsung earphone it doesn't. Then with any 4 contact jack I think that it doesn't work, I will return it.
Now I have bought one original from Samsung site and I will try it.
