AT&T launch updates: HTC Fuze, Samsung Mirage, Bold moved to November?

Shelly.. Blackberry Storm is comming out this November too, but for Verison… Way cooler than the Omnia.. TOUCH PHONE.. Ohh Yeah!!!!!

VERY kewl Ethan!! If you love touch phones, you’ll adore the Storm! Personally, I’m not a touch phone person. I’ve found there’s no middle ground, one either loves them or just isn’t comfortable using them…I like using keys to type, etc. Maybe it’s the geek in me! hahaa My Bold is a killer phone. Simply the best I’ve ever used, bar none! 3G screams on it and for the (now) nearly 2 months I’ve had it, it hasn’t dropped a single call. The graphics are flat awesome and the layout of the keyboard is *exactly* perfect for me. I do know you’re going to really love the Storm though! I have a couple of friends who were doing some testing with it for RIM and they couldn’t say enough good things about it! The only thing they were upset about was that it wasn’t going onto a 3G network. Do you know the release date on it yet? I heard the rumour that Verizon is going to be releasing it right around the same time as AT&T is bringing out the Bold (Nov. 4th). Is that what you’re hearing about the Storm? Can’t wait to hear how much you love it!! PLEASE post here and tell me how you like it – I’ll be watching for your “first impressions”!!

Having used mine now for two months, I can say the price is worth it! I haven’t had any major problems whatsoever! Actually, what I plan to do is give my oldest son the one I’m using now and buy another for me. I prefer to use the Blackberry enterprise system for my email etc. (business reasons) so my son will be happy and so will I! (The Bold I currently have is out of Canada and the serial number ties it to Rogers. I need to be on AT&T for my business BB mail. *sigh*) Tomorrow morning, on my way to vote, I’ll pickup the new one and then in the afternoon I’ll ship off the old one (with OS updated) to my son.

Tanner, they had the Tilt on the website but I didn’t see that looked like the Fuse. I’ll look in the store tomorrow morning and see what’s there. They always put the AT&T name on HTC phones, but I can tell which ones they are. I’ll post here when I get back if you haven’t found out yet if the Fuze has been released.

Hey jackbutt- guess what? At&t beat other networks to the iphone, the mirage, Nokia 5800 expressmusic, and the bold. Isn’t that telling you something? They have the best network. And at least they didn’t have to have a massive recall like verizon did with the samsung glyde.

Just picked up my Fuze today.

GEEZ! Is that all you’re going to say? You picked it up?…………….

Bah! You’re no fun! LOL

Just bought a fuze and I’m anxiously awaiting shipment. It was hard to pass up a WM6.1 phone with all the great features. I’ve never owned a Smartphone before but I do own a Dell Axim X51V, although I unfortunately never get the full features out of the PDA since I can’t stand carrying it around with me everywhere. Getting the smartphone will solve that problem and I will actually be able to use one the way it was meant to be used. Now, if only amazon shipped on the weekends….
I hangout at http://www.HTCFuze.org see ya there.

The display models at AT&T stores for the Fuze are pretty slow, and make the phone seem very sluggish, yet I hear the phone is pretty fast in terms of loading its own applications. Touchflo3d also wasn’t as quick nor as responsive as I’ve heard as well. Out of the box, is the Fuze generally sluggish, or was there just problems with the display models?

Also, way too many people I know are suggesting the iPhone over the Fuze, including the store workers themselves, and a big issue seems to be Windows Mobile. What would be the pro’s and con’s of Winmo for a Winmo noobie? For those that own both the iPhone and the Fuze, what do you like and dislike about each phone?

Share your opinion with me at http://www.HTCFuze.org take care.
