  • I used to have this phone, but I thought it was a little too bulky, and my mom just upgraded. My mom got the Jitterbug 4G--- I mean the HTC Inspire. I just got the HTC Aria.

  • @InsertEpicNameHere15 u will need data plan to use internet without wi fi but if I'm correct and say if I'm not but I don't think u need data plan for msging features

  • Now we will never know what the 7 billion dollars was used for

  • if i put my sim card i this phone will it automatically add a data plan,? please reply thaankss,

  • heeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllpppp­ppppp!!!!!!!!!! what phone should i get dis phone or the palm pre!!!!!!!!???????

  • i have this phone....... its suckss

  • i no this is way off topic but you sound like lisa and bart simpson :P

  • i already have att, but if i buy this phone used and just put my sim card in will it work or does it need a specific plan? please answer

  • do they still have this phone on stock ? i cn't find it

  • @GCloverRUBY this is a seriously old, outdated phone. why would you want it?

  • @mtmjr90 Dude this phone may have been released in 08' but it still has the same features a newer Windows Mobile device would have. Mines got stolen in March but before it got stolen I had all the fun in the world with that Pocket PC.

  • @KioskHacking I recognize that it may have been good, but with WP7 just around the corner, Froyo/Gingerbread on Android, iOS 4 and the gorgeous/beastly hardware that the aforementioned come on, I don't see any good in getting an old, outdated phone with mid-level software. Not to mention the Windows Marketplace will not have many new apps for WinMo with WP7 coming out...

  • @mtmjr90 Pfft lol I don't even depend on Marketplace, I use a 3rd party app that supplies me a whole different app store for WinMo that has waay better (and more) apps. Mid-Level software? WM6.1 was actually good to me, plus the phone is upgradable to 6.5 where they fixed any possible bugs. Either way since my phone is stolen i'll be forced to upgrade anyway...just defending one of the best phones I ever owned. Guess i'll go with the HTC Tilt2.

  • @KioskHacking I meant mid-level in the sense that WinMo isn't really on the same playing field as iOS and Android. Just curious, why would you get a WinMo phone so close to the WP7 launch? It's like buying a VCR right when everyone switches to DVD...

  • @mtmjr90 Because WP7 looks good but I like WM even more because it makes me feel like i'm actually using a computer. I'm more familiar with it. Also, don't look down on WinMo it's actually good..don't believe me? Go look at some reviews on the HTC HD2.

  • @KioskHacking Lol that's exactly what another WinMo proponent on YouTube told me to do:) I admit that the HD2 is a nice phone and WinMo looks good on it, however I maintain that it's mostly due to HTC's Sense UI. Personally, I've got the HTC Evo...which is essentially a better HD2 and runs Android... However, as you said, if a more PC-like feel is what you're going for, then yes I'd say WinMo is good:)

  • @GCloverRUBY Go on eBay man, since it's older they are getting waaay cheaper =D.

  • should you get this phone if you arent going to use the browser or the microsoft device?

  • almost looks like the diamond one :P

  • I had this phone. When it came out it was nearly 400 bucks. You can get two iPhones. Not impressed

  • better then the samsung impression?

  • should i get this phone or a lg neon or xenon?

  • is The Speaker Loud ? lol

    And is it Hard To Text ?

  • I'm thinking about buying this phone. Is it hard to work with and text on?

  • this phone is garbage is have it and it sucks dick.

  • can the icons at the bottom be customized???

  • can this b updated to windows mobile 6.5?

  • i phone is the BEST

  • wow this is there best EVER fone but ofcourse they took it off the shelves!!!!!!

  • so which ones better ?? fuze, impression, or tilt ?!?!

  • Tilt FTW. and the Fuze comes second...

  • wow this phone is awesome and i was going to get it but atat had to take it off the shelves

  • ebay

  • I was gonna get this instead of the tilt 2, but at&t took them off the shelves = [

  • Does it have Wifi???

  • yes.

  • i got the impressoin cause i LOVe texting but the only problem i had with the inpression was the touch screen was just a little unresponsive because i would try to slide the list then it would just select the app instead of scrolling but thats what the arrows are for :)

  • i waaaant it i have the tilt

  • i want this phone soo badd, i got the impression cuz my blackberry was so fucked up, im still saving to get this though.

  • how do u like the impression?

  • it's not bad, a good texting phone . i just dont want it cause its not my style . lol

  • It a great phone

  • yes this phone is touch

  • is it touch?

  • Good job on this review

  • can u flash it to cricket and can u flash t-moble phones to cricket

  • i had 6 of these! peice of shit phone DO NOT get this!

  • y did u have 6? u obviously have issues lol

  • if u had 6, that most likely means u broke at least five of them, which is entirely ur fault dude.. not the phones..

    good job at failing

  • is this a good phone for a kid

  • you have got to be kidding me

  • hey thanks for the review!

    Great job, keep it up

  • can u somehow get rid of the annoying AT&T applications?!?! i tried deleting them its not allowed by system, they are so useles

  • Not easily, unless you flash the device with other ROM.

  • what if i install the original windows mobile 6, not the one that is provided by at&t

  • Unfortunately Windows Mobile doesn't work like Windows. If you wish to flash the ROM on the phone you will need to flash with the ROM that's specifically cooked for the device. There are several nice ROMs available on xda-developers. Check it out.

  • aah alright i understood, thanks, ill definately do that, at&t annoys me.. took out nice front camera and added useless push to talk button.. ugh

  • I just deleted the shortcuts on the program folder using File Explorer...the programs are still there but you just don't see them at all. =D

  • they are for altel, at&t,sprint, tmobile,verizon, etc.

    you can just unlock them for whatever carrier you have

  • is all Htc phones made by at&t or do they go for all services?

  • Cany Anyone Please Tell Me How To File Transfer With The Htc Fuze From ATT ?

  • From the phone to a computer? Use ActiveSync if you use WinXP, or Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) for Vista or 7.

  • Seems like the mainstream doesn't like this, but the tech-heads love it. Sounds like the latter knows how to forgive a few minor shortcomings. Definitely considering a free refurb model of this.

  • yeah this phone has wifi. You can also download all kinds of apps for it as well. Great phone overall.

  • Do u have to pay for Wifi

  • lmao no

  • does this phone have wifi and if u turn it on will it turn off 3g

  • yea it got wifi

  • i dont like att music, so is there any way i can get my songs from itunes onto this phone??

  • Put them on microSD card or use USB mass storage to copy.

  • Can you install google chrome on the HTC FUZE

  • okay i really need some help. should i pick the HTC fuze or the samsung impression? both members of at&t.

    could you message me tell me whats the difference and the advantages and disadvantages. im really stuck. thank you so much

  • i would say the htc fuze, it has windows mobile which has a lot more options and a lot more software. And also the htcc fuze has htc's touchflo 3d, which is the really cool today screen. Now the samsung impressions is a good phone, but it doesn't have windows mobile, it is just a normal phone with samsung's touch UI for the today screen.

  • I would say the Samsung Impression. This phone has a gorgeous AMOLED screen and a 3.2" touchscreen!! It is very bright and appealing to everybody. The qwerty keyboard is very roomy and feels nice. Samsung also but in the Samsung UI on the homescreen and it makes shortcuts so much easier! It also has amazing day time changing themes which are pretty cool and using this phone is a blast! I would get the Samsung Impression because it features many features and the HTC Fuze does not. Thanks you.

  • I would definatley pick the refurbished HTC fuze. A refurbush Fuze is the same amount as a new impression and does alot more. It is a windows mobile phone and being a smart phone has many features. The Impression, although it does have internet, it is not a smartphone. Over all I think this phone has a better appearance and although it is not thin it is very sleek. This is a better phone. And if you can get this for the same price as the impression then go for it!

  • get the impression. it is probably one of the best phones i've used besides my iphone 3g

  • It looks Sleek And Profesonal

  • i think i am going to buy this phone...would

  • the at&t one is better then the sprint one

  • why???

  • so aside from minor tech difficulties is this a good phone, im looking into buying one

  • i have this phone and i love it at points. It is really cool looking, but mine froze once and shut down, it kept freezing one the green screen during power up, i had to completely reboot it and lost everything. :l it was a sad day. but other than the occasional tech problems, i;m in love with it. ;)

  • hi, man there is going out a new version(update) for this phone, is the same looking but now it will prevent those kind of things....

  • Don't get this phone. It's internet service sucks ass and It's as slow as hell. The touch screen can barely be used without you're stilus and it opens programs that you don't want. The delays between the switching is slow as fuck---not 1 second... You will also notice alot of bugs and the bootup time is like .. longer than a laptop. The pages cannot get backgrounds except for your home screen so everything is 9/10 times white.. -.- You will see so many bugs that its hilarious and the service sux

  • iphone is the way to go right? with all the apps and multi touch?

  • witch phone is better the Palm Centro or The HTC Fuze??

  • The HTC Fuze. I have the palm centro and I HATE it!!!

  • i dont prefer either but if you have to get one of those htc is the way 2 go

  • I click on this video for a review on the Fuze and most of what I got was irrelevant information about the differences between HTC models.

    Really. Who gives a shit about the differences.

  • We have an in-depth review of the HTC Fuze on MobileTechReview web site. Head over there to read the review.

  • this fone has wifi right?? im getting a new phone but i dont no wether to get the iphone 3g or the fuze plzzzzz help me

  • Yes it does have WiFi.

  • yes, it has wifi

  • SELLING MY FUZE

    good condition

    few scratches

    ebay user id: hfcqbd

  • im getting the htc fuze from at&t in a couple weeks!

  • hey how come when i add a "today menu" where i check off the boxes... my default screen with the clock and the "home music pictures internet at&t etc." goes away.... does anyone know how to get that screen back?

  • How can you set the backround diffrently or with a picture?

  • How do copy the Youtube player - Icon onto the programs menu?

  • Goto the Windows folder & find the YouTube icon, tap & hold and then click 'copy' then scroll to the top of the Windows folder and go to 'start menu' then 'programs' then click & hold on a blank space and click 'paste shortcut'

  • asduhfon, what phone keyboard do you like most?

  • this phone sucks the keyboard is hard to type on i tried .. biggest mistake u guys should try the impress or samsung eternity :]

  • cut your thumb nails, it turns the experience from annoyance to happiness, still I get what you meen, what phone did you like most?

  • do you have to hit the function key before entering every single digit of the telephone number?

  • No, in the dialer screen you only need to hit the fn key once to begin dialing the numbers.

  • i got one for $200 with a two year contract and a screen protector at the at&t store

  • what is the keyboard like? i have the previous version of the BlackBerry Curve and I love the keyboard, does the fuze have a nice keyboard that clicks?

  • how much was this phone??

  • $300 with 2-yr contract and after $50 rebate ($350 up front). $500 with no contract.

  • her voice is pretty pleasant

  • Can U Put Ur Own Wallpaper

  • I Like Making Every First Letter In My Words Capital Too

  • I've seen videos of people with different wallpapers on the AT&T Fuze.

  • do u think  the sony experia x1 is as good or better than this?

  • man! i want the HTC fuze so bad! but its really expensive i want it so bad though!

  • I do need a new phone. Most ATT associates are familiar with iPhone but little knowledge about HTC Fuze, so I turn to Youtube to look for an answer. I know iPhone can give most of what I want but I was told that HTC Fuze can open word file. I see no one has mentioned this.

    Most of reviews on youtube kept telling us they have little ideas about the functions but keep talking about the size that is not so important. Blackberry is big still popular. Pls tell us more about the functions. Thx.

  • We have in-depth reviews of the Fuze and BlackBerry devices on mobiletechreview. Head over to the web site to read more detailed reviews of these smart devices.

  • do u need a sim card to work the phone?

  • You need a sim card to work any phone..

  • get the iphone , HTC is great but for some reason i found the iphone to be just awesome!!

  • I am thinking of getting this phone; however I was wondering how much space the screen allows for the keyboard; or high or low the sensitivity of the touch screen is; and not to mention how it compares to my current phone, the LG Shine. Please get back to me asap; would like to learn more about this phone in terms of the questions that I've stated.

  • LMFAO!

  • NO IT AINT i got the quickfire its a piece of shit u cant customize the camera sux and the screen is so pixelated. plus the odd shape scratches soo easily!!!

  • I have the HTC Fuze (AT&T) my concern about this phone is that after you turn on you must wait about 2 minutes to set,you know the AT&T logo,3G logo ,windows mobile 6,activating touch flo version bla bla bla......

    uff!

  • thats how most smart phones are except for black berry's they seam to turn on instantly.

  • well you really don't need to see the logo, windows mobile and w/e. there is a way to turn off the animation, i however never experimented with it since it doesn't bother me.

  • you know that center button that you touch at 00:15 what does that button do

  • There is a center button for actions, and a touch-sensitive ring around it that you can use to scroll menus, pages, etc. on the phone. It works similar to all HTC Diamond-based devices. For more info read our detailed written review on mobiletechreview web site.

  • how do you get these phones

  • at&t online

  • does it support different languages?

  • The phone comes with English. If you flash it with other ROM in different languages you can get different languages.

  • The FUZE with default language pack can display only western languages on web sites, no Chinese character support, BTW.

  • is there a way to install different languages?

  • If you can find the ROM for that launguage, you can flash the device with that ROM.

  • This really isn't a review, it's more like a overview of the phone.

  • For an in-depth review please read our written review on mobiletechreview

  • Cool, I Like the video VERY much and you do a Fantastic Job, Just got the phone After I ordered it and just seeing what scores the reviewers were giving it. I just meant there was no score. But Great job on the Descriptions, If I need any Help I'll be asking you :)

  • y does she repeatedly call it a touch pro? ive seen them call it a touch pro in several videos from different youtubers and if im not mistaken, the touch pro is a phone that htc previously released on sprint? right?

  • The Sprint HTC Touch Pro, the Verizon Touch Pro and the HTC Fuze are all variants of the HTC Touch Pro. AT&T just gave it another name.

  • o ok

  • If you LISTEN and PAY ATTENTION to the video, that's one of the first things she explains starting 13 seconds in... Damn LAZY ASSES

  • I WOULD KILLLL FOR THIS PHONE!! but iam getting it.. fricken awesome phone

  • Great review, thanks!

  • T-Mobile G1

  • eternity

  • should i get this phone or the samsung eternity?

  • In 1:14 (and 2:27) you mentioned you have to hit the Function key to activate the number pad. On my 8525 (aka Hermes), when you're in Phone mode and you slide the keyboard out, you can dial using the number pad without having to hit the Function key. Have you tried that on yours?

  • Right, while not in Phone app, you need to hit the function key to activate number pad.

  • Yes, same here. Thanks for the reply. I'm still trying to find a good replacement for my 8525. The Fuze is a good contender!

  • great video though

  • so u cant change the font menu?

  • att is sending this phone to me .. its free to me so should i sell it on ebay and get a iphone 3g or get the fuze??

  • OH GOD CANT USE D-PAD TO PLAY PAC-MAN

    DAMNIT

    ILL STICK WITH MY RAZR

    /s

  • hahahha

  • Does anybody know how to get the true version of the Fuze without AT&T Dumbing it down....

  • wut are you talkin about they maid it better they gave it more ram and the keep the nice design un-like sprint

  • I'm not talking about the RAM i'm talking about the home screen and the extra camera that each HTC phone gets but the companies get rid of them and puts their name on the phone and home screen....

  • does the one from best buy have a key boRD

  • so this is bulky? :[

  • It's very hard to change the (not so pretty) AT&T light gray background in TouchFLO 3D unfortunately. It requires a good bit of hacking.

  • not realy i have the fuze and there are some themes you need the touch dimond cofig tool wich basicly hacks the phone for you and there are even a few cab files that you dont haft to do anything for but hit install

  • Well that promotion is over. If you go to At&t website. It is $300 up front. Because I have an exclusive Dealership account with At&t I still have some left over from Black Friday that were specially priced. I have 20 left.

    I can get you a brand new Fuze for $250

    $150 after rebate. So I could save you a lot of money. We didn't sell a whole lot in our small town cause a lot people here are old fashion. But if your a techy person this is a sweet phone.

  • It's actually $350 up front, $300 with mail in rebate. At least in my area.

  • i hate that shyt they need to lower the price b4 i get it next weekend

  • can you change the theme for the HTC fuze cuz i dont like the grey theme its gay....!?

  • read my comment above

  • this phone is cool, but im torn between the iphone.

    in the store, the fuze was way slow when doing anything, and the applications were confusing. the iphone isn't too confusing.

    the iphone has awful text, but has a much better touch screen, and is an itouch. the fuze has a good keyboard.

    what i saw in terms of cameras was about even. they both took quality pictures, but the fuze had a long time for videos.

    that may have just been in the store, if you have any other info, pm me please

  • does that scroll wheel light up in any way?

  • people say its like identical to a brick is it to heavy or is it hard to slide up the keyboard?

  • There is no denying that it is a bulky phone, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Bulky=sturdy, and though I would not recommend dropping it, it's going to with stand it better then some other touch screens out on the market. As far as the slide, I've had no problems and in fact I love the feel of it. My best suggestion is that you head to the store and check it out so you can get some one-on-one time with it.

  • ive had it for 3 days so far. Omg i love it! its way better than the iphone

  • can the phone read your texts out loud?

  • Grey?....GTFO Att....I'ma hack your phone out of spite.

  • meh god!!! i love this phone!!! me likey

    lol

  • wait...let me get this straight, you can't change the background?

  • Yes you can.

  • the youtube program is on da fuze u just have to go to programs

  • where is the youtube application on the fuze it's not there and how we can have it on the fuze does anyone know's plz let me know thnx .

  • uhhh there is no specific app but you just go to it from the browser on the fuze but it works the same but it just takes a lil longer to get there and its a lil less mobile user friendly
