Default Who's trading in their Iphone for Fuze?

HTC FUZE(TM) Cell Phone - | Wireless from AT&T, formerly Cingular

Fuze:
1) A higher resolution screen than the iphone.

2) Can do true full multitasking unlike the iphone.

3) The rate plan with the Fuze will be cheaper than the iphone.

4) It has a user replaceable battery unlike the iphone.

5) You can adjust the accelerometer unlike the iphone.

6) It has A2DP for bluetooth stereo unlike the iphone.

7) Has full office software unlike the iphone.

8) It has FM radio (has to be enabled with .cab)

9) And there is the old beaten to death issues of,,,,, well,,,, it has cut&paste, spell check, picture mail and video capture.

10) It reads memory cards up to 32 GB so it can actually have more memory than an iphone.

11) The fuze has a higher resolution camera than the iphone.

12) The Fuze offers flash support with its default web browser-->Opera 9.5

The Fuze, AKA HTC Touch Pro is pretty tempting,,,,,,, what it dosen't have is a wonderful 3.5 inch screen like my beautiful iphone!!! I LOVE the screen on my iphone. I don't know if I can go back to using a tiny 2.8 inch screen!

What does everyone else think about all this?

I'm very tempted as well. I have to get to the store and give it a try. Not to beat a dead horse, but the lack of a video camera and MMS is weighing heavily on me when it comes to the iPhone. I've been debating getting a BlackBerry Bold and now I have to consider the Fuze. The thing is that I've become so accustomed to using an iPhone that I find it difficult to use any other phone. Also the browser on the iPhone just seems to be miles ahead of anything else out there. I will definitely take a long look at the Fuze.

If they do not have one in your local AT&T store you can jog over to Sprint and check out the Touch Pro. It is the same as the Fuze.

Absolutely Safari kicks the heck out of all other browsers. I have used opera mobile on the WM Pro OS for years and have even used version 9.5 same as whats on the Fuze and it still is not as good as Safari.

The Fuze does all that the iphone does and more but the iphone does what it does better than the Fuze. The BB Bold on the other hand doesn't do what either the Fuze or iphone can do and what the Bold can do it does it sub par I tweaked and hacked my Curve, spent a ton of time on blackberry forums learning blackberry tricks and still couldn't get the bb to do half of what WM does.

You know, so many of the other AT&T 3G phones offer cellular video with the media net package. I really wish we could get that with the iPhone.

Did not get rid of my iPhone.... just bought the Fuze. Swap sims when I feel like it. Best of both worlds.

if you do...

(mimics no "soup for you" guy)

"No Apps For You!"

I frickin' love that episode!

and yes i know other apps stores for other phones exist, but why dont you ask iTunes competitors how they are doing...lol...gotcha there huh!?

for some reason apple is just magical with these types of things...
I had an original iPhone...was missing to much went back to my berry...
3G came out had to have one-they are getting closer! But the little by little approach does exactly what its supposed to= make money.
Im not getting rid of my iPhone again...until the iPhone HD comes out!
