If you don’t want to purchase your HTC Fuze through a phone retailer or online, you can pick one up from your local Best Buy soon. By soon, we mean December 7, so there is a bit of a wait involved. Now, like the black Sony Ericsson Xperia X1a, it’s possible that the Fuze will only be available from Best Buy online and not in the actual store itself, but only time will tell. No price has been announced yet, but it will probably be comparable to the price tag at an AT&T dealer. The phone is also being billed at the AT&T Fuze on the Best Buy site, so chances are, it will be locked as well.

Want to get a good look at the Fuze before shelling out the bucks to buy one? Head over to WMExperts. They’ve got a whole gallery of photos and even some videos showing off what this sweet little smart phone can do. They mention a few things about the Fuze’s performance as well, including the fact that Opera Mobile and TouchFLO 3D both work a lot better than they have on other models like the Touch Diamond. The Push To Talk button is a bit larger than they’d like (and can’t be remapped), and the keyboard is good but not great. The most important grade, performance, has yet to be decided, but the WMExperts are hopeful that the Fuze will perform as promised since Opera Mobile and TouchFLO 3D run so well.

There are several different connectivity options when it comes to the AT&T Fuze phone. As one would assume from a cell phone, one of these modes is voice to voice, like a standard phone. However, the Fuze allows you to talk to people in over 200 different countries. Then there are the internet functions—you can freely browse websites and check your e-mail in over 150 countries, including those such as Japan that have 3G networks.
The Fuze also includes the ability to connect to WiFi hot spots, college campus networks, and home networks. This makes it much easier to transfer files between your smart phone and your laptop or desktop computer. The built-in GPS keeps Fuze owners connected to TeleNav, an application that features maps and driving directions.
Finally, AT&T’s new Video Share allows Fuze owners to share videos while actually talking to each other, an innovative feature that many will find quite useful.

Now that it’s here, we know for certain exactly what the Fuze contains and what it does not. That glossy black finish we’ve been admiring in photos is even smoother in person, and the 2.8 inch touch screen looks great. So far, there have been few complaints about the way the TouchFLO 3D screen works. The Fuze really can be operated with just one hand and controlled simply by touching, holding, and sliding your fingers around the screen.
The Fuze ships with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and works perfectly with Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and even the more recent OneNote.
As AT&T Vice President Michael Woodward said, the Fuze does indeed allow customers to use their favorite form of communication for email and internet browsing, and the Fuze is indeed one very attractive smart phone.

As one would expect, many different review sites are posting their thoughts on the AT&T Fuze. The guys over at The Boy Genius Report have weighed in with their review of the new phone. Their thoughts? AT&T has, for once, not added anything horrible to the device or changed anything about the way Windows Mobile works on it, and for that, people are very, very happy. The Fuze includes tri-band UMTS/HSDPA support, includes both OK and Start buttons, and has a visible Start menu on the home screen. Woohoo! One of the best things people have found about the Fuze is that it follows classic, not random AT&T, layouts. For example, instead of listing the numbers across the top row, they’re laid out like a number pad. That works much better and seems to involve less wrist movement, a must for all of us who suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome.
BGR has snagged the AT&T Fuze and has provided a gallery of photos of the unboxing. They found the AT&T version of the Touch Pro to be "less cluttered with crapware" and seem to be very impressed. Check out their full Fuze gallery.

If you are waiting for the release of the AT&T Fuze, the wait will not be much longer. AT&T retail locations are starting to receive shipments of the new Fuze. It's expected the Fuze will be available tomorrow. Notice the HTC branding on the box! Very nice.
The HTC Fuze is now available through AT&T Wireless online. The Fuze is priced at $299 after a $50 mail-in rebate(with a 2-year contract). The Fuze is the GSM, AT&T branded HTC Touch Pro and features HSDPA, GPS, WiFi and TouchFlo 3D.
The Fuze is here! It’s official release date of yesterday, November 11, is now a reality and you can now purchase your very own HTC Fuze from any AT&T dealer. The price tag is still a bit high, coming in at $299.99 after contract and rebates. Without those nice little discounts, the phone weighs in at a rather large $499.99. A bit pricey? Well, maybe, but it’s in line with the price of other similar phones suc as the Blackberry Bold. The number of fancy gizmos, sleek applications and other options included with the Fuze may make it worth the price tag, however.

AT&T customers can get their very first look at the HTC Fuze by heading out to the various AT&T locations. Well, they can get an idea of what the Fuze looks like, anyway—stores have been receiving dummy Fuzes. They look and feel exactly like the real things, but they don’t do very much. In actual fact, they don’t do anything at all. However, they are an indication that the real Fuzes will be appearing in the stores sooner rather than later. The wait is almost at an end!
