Pros:
High-end hardware with all the trimmings. Great screen, nice interface design. Good call quality. |
 |
Cons:
Some performance issues kept the phone from being as responsive as we'd like. Camera is sub-par. Windows Mobile lurks beneath the surface. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| While this phone draws its most recent comparisons with the HTC Touch Pro on Sprint, since the devices are nearly identical in features, the real question might be whether the HTC Fuze is a worthy successor to the AT&T Tilt. In that respect, the HTC Fuze is the new super-phone on AT&T, and it is a much more polished and advanced phone than the Tilt was. It says more about the smartphone market these days that we can look at the HTC Fuze and lament its performance flaws, even while we marvel at the cutting-edge screen resolution and huge, roomy keyboard. We'd also like to see HTC break out and try something snazzy and colorful to complement the VGA display, instead of the static grey and black of AT&T's TouchFLO 3D theme. Overall, though, this phone-that-does-everything is a market-leader in terms of features and style, and if you can stand a little lag from time to time, it's a top-notch business device. |
