In the process I have been looking at the Fuze vs. the Bold. I have used both WM 6.1 and BB devices and can use both quite well. Both of them have great features. The BB is absolutely reliable and for email nothing comes close. It is also a good one handed device. WM 6.1 devices have the programs I like best. Now that the Fuze has come out I think I will return to a WM 6.1 device for these reasons:
1. I like the size – smaller than the Bold
2. Screen resolution is great and can be seen in sunlight.
3. WM 6.1 programs
4. Handwriting recognition
5. I can now go into contacts and select get directions to go directly to GPS (This was only available on the BB before)
6. I have lots of programs I can use with the Fuze.
7. I understand it has voice recognition (not voice tags) which would have been a deal breaker if not available. (I’ll be sure to check this)
8. Call Clarity is vastly improved over the Tilt.
9. Key Board is improved over the Tilt and gets good ratings. Like the fact that it slides out.

Big misses for the Fuze:
1. No 3.5 ear jack or 2.5 jack. I hate using a dongle.
2. 3D Touch Flow – is too slow. I will turn it off and use SpB Shell which is great and functional.
3. The PTT key. Will reporgram that key.
4. Slick back – hopefully someone has come out with a better one.
5. Have to take off back to put in an SD card.
6. AT&T: plans – love the roll-over, hate the fact that they extend your plan if you make changes; Coverage has improved, but I have noticed you can have 5 bars and still get dead spots in calls. #G was very bad when the iPhone came out, but I think it has improved.

So if you think I have evaluated the Fuze incorrectly let me know. I plan to get it this month, if I can find a decent price. I sure don’t want to make a mistake (Always a hassle to return a phone)

i hangout out http://www.HTCFuze.org chat with me there.
