Call AT&T Business CS. They'll be able to tell you.

FFS. STFU if you don't have anything good to say. I know what I"m talking about. You're crazy. It doesn't matter if it says it or not, I KNOW that I can get it for that much. I'll give you proof when I do so you can stfu and never say a word again because you have no idea what you're talking about. AT&T still has those special deals. And if you really really want that much off, just go to the black friday special. Last year they had the tilt going for pretty cheap when it just came out so I'm suspecting that the fuze will too.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
For a Family plan, you'd pay $9.99 for 1 month of the extra line, $35 for the activation fee, $175 for the ETF, and $350 for the phone. That adds up to $570, the phone will sell for $549 without contract.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asingic:
What can I say it was a thought ...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DJ Justifier:
Jesus really DOES love me!!! (and this is not a pre-production model)

The FUZE will not be in stores November 4th, 2008 but it start shipping to stores

within the next 2 weeks and it always was planned for a (near) Black Friday release.

$349.99 - $50 MIR with 2-Year Contract and Data Plan.

I will say this, as much as I love my Nokia N95 I cannot phantom living without The FUZE.

Wow those are the best photos I have seen to date! Congrats DJ Justifier
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bad Ash:
Must have MATTE back finish... Look how scratched up it is in the picture above... :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
We've seen models like that before, so quoting the bible is a bit far-fetched... As for the photos being used without permission, your email is already on there so it's not like they'll be posted without giving you credit. You shouldn't post them on a public forum if you don't want them to be linked to or re-posted in other locations.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asadkhan1988:
willow grove pa? where did you get it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lulugirl896:
LOL! Is it me or are you sounding just a little bitter....seller's remorse, maybe? (teasing!!)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:
so where did you get it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
Bah, humbug.

Haha nah I just don't see the point in sharing these pictures with a community of thousands then saying "YOU CAN'T USE THESE PICTURES"... Don't post them then!

As for missing the Fuze, not one bit. I want a phone with Android and a capacitive screen, but that works on 850/1900. So, I wait...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] VocaB:
ewww..i mite be super late on this ..but why is the keyboard on the fuze like that...what happen to the top row being dedicated for numbers
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bigb252:
Holy CRAP, nice First post :D:eek::cool:

EDIT: Whats your build date?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:
Really, that is NOT good looking at all! Black, the one I got from you looked ALOT better! Why would they EVER go with a shiny black back like that! AT&T always does this! Honestly, the unlocked version is ALOT nicer looking. And not just the matte rubber back on it. You know this version of the pro will be ALL shiny black! Even the back of the Sprint version is some what rubberized!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
They've had that changed on all Fuzes, even the early pre-release models.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
Yeah dude, that's what I'm saying. I thought the gray looked sharp, but this shiny black really doesn't make it look any better than iPhone 3G's backing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] baboola:
looks like invisible shield will be needed :eek:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:
Yea man... They should have kept the gray or went with the look of the unlocked and just slapped on the AT&T logo. The gray was nice because it was shinny and did NOT show prints like this one will. Ohwell, as for the keyboard. I do like the number row up top as I do use numbers more than symbols but you do get use to this layout after a few days. I can see how this keyboard layout will be a pain in the rump when it comes to adding cooked roms from people developing them off the unlocked version.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:
LOL, Just increased his bidding! LOL

Lets make bets on how much it will sell for.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asingic:
we should take bets on what the release date is. . .
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:
That too. As we are now seeing another one on ebay, Gotta try to sell off the pre-release model fast before it retails.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hondaguyjoe:
The bold is up on the website.. no fuze sadly looks like tmrw is just a dream.. :-(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DavidJ84:
Yeah, I work for GameStop and I get 35% off phones and a measly 8% off my monthly bill. It all depends on what company you work for. You can also occasionally get a special deal on select phones too. I've heard from a buddy at UPS that he gets 50% off on phones through ATT, so you're not alone on that. Is that guy seriously contesting the existence of the FAN/Premiere discount?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] m.carroll:
:( so very true.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Yes. USPS get's 50% off all equipment including phones and accessories and get 25% off their monthly bill. Same for coca-cola and at&t employee's personal plan. I just think he's jealous ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pinktaco:
I hate att for making me wait. :mad:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] petard:
lol before they stopped showing the discount it showed 40% off for me, but the prices were never 40% off.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] baboola:
reserve not met! i'll bet his reserve is set at ~$550...and i'd probably have a good laugh if anyone pays over 580 total for that
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] venelar:
Friend of mine works for Primerica (Citigroup) and he gets phones 50% off. I bought 2 Cing 8525's off him at once last year. Hell of a deal when you dont have an upgrade.

AT&T Fuze Release Date Friday Nov. 7th

Fuze Mobility has been relentlessly beating on all of the Corporate Stores about the release date of the AT&T Fuze. We know the rumors were for tomorrow November the 4th, which was the same as the Blackberry Bold. Today however we have been able to confirm with a Large Volume Corporate Store that the Fuze has been delayed to Friday, November the 7th. AT&T Does not want the Fuze to compete with the Election Blackberry Bold release and has moved it out.

As of 12:00pm today, the Corporate Store had NOT received its Demo Units or Store stock to sell yet. They had however received the Blackberry Bold stock which gives more credibility to our source. We also learned that that the Store Manager had the Fuze in hand and was very happy with the look and feel of the device as well as the performance. He also confirmed the Rebate was exactly as David K had posted: Rebate form for the Fuze leaked of $350.00 dollars and a $50.00 rebate for a two year contract

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
When I sold my first Fuze in late August/early September people said the guy who bought it was crazy because he paid $1,000 and it was right around the corner. Here we are, over 2 months later. I sold another on 10/21 for $780, and everyone said it was stupid to pay that much because it's coming out in 2 days... Well, here we are, 2 weeks later...

People will pay what they think it's worth, and until we know better, it's not a bad purchase.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:
Bottom line is, the closer we get to a more official date, the harder it will be to sell the phone for more than retail or more to the price of the unlocked version. We I picked up the fuze back in SEPT, I knew it was not coming out before the Sprint version and I knew the Sprint version was not coming until late OCT early NOV so I had some time to play with it, and sold it for the same price I paid... Now with the pending release of the Fuze possible this week or within the next 2 weeks and buying it for $800 to $1,000 is abit nutz as you will not have braggin rights for long but who knows, someone may still pay that price in the end.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mtlChris:
ok so who here lives in texas? b/c i think i saw some ppl who live there talking about getting it on the 4th.....and it looks like you guys could actually be right....im in atlanta, and i called a local store asking about it...the guy knew the phone, and he said that it's being released in texas but has not come to the georgia market yet...he said he doesnt know why that is but it should be realeased here within the next couple weeks....so idk if that makes any sense but yea thats what he said....if anyone is in texas, keep checking lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cincy1020:
Wow, amazing pictures. What kind of camera do you have?

Congrats on the new phone. Even though that shiny back just made my stomach turn, I am still excited to get one. I do have to wonder why they made the back so hideous? It looks like cheap plastic. Sigh :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MRFERRARI23:
so i was just wondering something if someone can answer me...here goes...

i get a discount on my at&t bill cause i have a hook up, i believe its something like fan cause thats what it says on my online at&t page when i sign in...ok so does that mean when the fuze comes out i can get it for a discount??? thanx to anyone who can answer me on this...i ask cause ive seen people talk about it an i just want to know exactly whats what!!! :D do you have to show them some proof or id or being that it says it on ur account your good to go??
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] txmcse01:
Texas...ughm...not so much buddy

I live just north of Dallas, and i drive past no less than 5 at&t corp. stores on the way to my work. I've stopped at all of them over the past 10 days trying to find someone who will talk. no dice. in fact, today i talked to one guy who said "Tomorrow we're going to do a huge release for the Bold, but we haven't even got a date on when the fuze will be released."

I was quick to inform him that his life could depend on me getting my hands on that phone. I explained how long i've been waiting on this device. I told him that gawd had told me to seek one out. it was no use.

He told me to check with a couple websites for dates. I told him "xda is all the website i'll ever needed, and tomorrow you better have my fuze!" I'm pretty sure he understood i was joking, and that I didn't mean to push over the bluetooth earbud display. but come on!!! how long do they think they can keep me chomping at this bit?? :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MRFERRARI23:
WOW bro you've got me literally cracking up here!!!! the way you just told that story i can just picture it in my head ur a riot lmaoo your a pretty funny guy lol.... i applaud you on your efforts an ur actions,,, well done lol... yea i pretty much want the fuze just as bad as you or maybe even more after playing around with the actually fuze my friend has thats a data tech for att that bastard for not selling me his lol...but it will be here soon so whats a few more days right, if weve gotten by up until now im sure we can wait just alittle be more an when we get it we can go nuts lol... i have the tytn 2 currently with the hyperdragon 3 rom with TF2D so ive kinda got the tf3d going for me...and i love my phone even though i want the fuze my phones sick an will still use it!!! and ive also played with the touch diamond that my brother in laws sister has so im good i guess lol..:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
When you log in, does it say USPS FAN DISCOUNT NUMBER or something like that. Or what company is that? If you answered yes to the USPS and live in any other state besides California, then congratulations ;) you are allowed to get the fuze for 50% off retail w/o contract. They won't ask for proof because they'll see your FAN number and believe that someone put it up there because you work for that company so you should get the discount no worries. Just don't buy TOO MANY to sell or they'll suspect your account and they'll demand proof that you work for USPS and they could take off your discount for misuse. Coca-Cola employees get the same discount.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:
know a way to check best buy discount?

i dont have access to my bb email unfortunately at the moment
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MRFERRARI23:
yes it does show a fan # on there but for a different company then what u said an i dont live in cali so i guess like u said i could get 50% off the fuze??? but what would i have to say in order to receive it?? and im currently under contract so whats the mean, anything or not?? id get 50% off regardless??? wow this is awesome news lol so basically id get it for what price after rebate???:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
All I know is, I type at 98 wpm with 98% accuracy.

But to get 100% accuracy I have to step down to like 83 wpm.

Lame.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dtmcnamara:
my parents work for coca-cola and I see my FAN # when I log into our account. so I just call 611 (business care) when then phone comes out and tell them I want to order one through them and the discount should work automatically? Sorry my parent just recently signed to coke so this is all new to me.

THANKS
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] scdavis:
I'll have to agree with Bad Ashe... did you open the box and drop it DJ? or did it come scratched when you got it off of ebay? :)

and a follow-up on how you know all that information might be helpful...

-SCDavis
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] renegadebmw:
I voted, now where is my Fuze!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] m.carroll:
well, i'm bummed that the phone is not out today, but it is what it is.

i think the speculation is getting a little bit out of hand, so what i've done, is added AT&T's Press Room RSS feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/AttAttWirelessRssFeeds?format=xml) to my iGoogle homepage. i'm just going to keep looking at that until the announcement is made and we can order online.

it is going to be official, and the story will appear on that RSS. on to the waiting.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jojorios:
My friend went to an AT&T store yesterday and he was told that because their launching the Blackberry today, they are delaying it another 2 weeks.

Just what I heard so don't shoot the messenger.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fredinco:
guy in NYC got one in store

On the ATT thread for LAST WORD a guy says he walked in store today, asked for it and got it. A lot suspicious as it is still kind of early for him to have it and be posting to thread with it all by 9:30 EST. But maye they are selling it there now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] g2tl:
where?

I saw a guy right in front of me walk out with a bold last week in nyc (near penn station)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Phantisy:
No need to post this kind of BS without proof plus the person only has one post... As if this thread is not long enough already from cross posting from the att thread.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ghost13:
that guy is full of sh*t i talked to my corp store here in bergen county which is considered nyc market and no one has it maybe fri this week. i played with the fuze yest and one thing i was suprised by was how heavy it was.it was heavier than my 8525 and the back is very shiny i like it!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fredinco:
Gut got in NYC he says

On the ATT Final word page a guy says he walked into a store today, asked for it and got it. Anyone know if that is really happening.

Did not mean to do this twice. I guess we all look on both posts constantly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Phantisy:
Its BS. Don't listen to someone who is trying to get people scurrying like stupid mice.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] m.carroll:
i really think this thread has reached the end of its useful life. (not saying it needs to be closed, but i'm out.)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] intothevoid:
Stores open at 10am dont they?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Phantisy:
Yet you will still check back for any updates :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NotATreoFan:
I just called my local store (Bensalem, PA - (215) 638-9100) and the I was told that while only the Bold is guaranteed, he is still expecting the Fuze to come in between noon and 2pm when UPS shows with their daily delivery.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bad Ash:
I got the same story from my local store as well. Still say they expect it today... This is crazy...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Phantisy:
I have nothing else better to do. I will call and see if I get the same story.

EDIT:

I was told almost the same thing but they were sure to mention that they did not know for sure if it was coming.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] intothevoid:
i was told to call at 1pm to check at one of the local att stores too. Well gotta get ready for school. Will call again after they open on my way to school.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] slyng1:
That dude who posted his 4 hi-res pics here got them to put them up on www.boygeniusreport.com along with his speculation about a black friday release date. I'd take that with a grain of salt...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Msingh999:
I really would have preferred the matte faceted back like the EU version, but I going for an upgrade so I'm still signed with AT&T.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ghost13:
i was playing with teh att and sprint version last night and trust me the shiny black looks really nice on ATT. the sprint's chrome look is really cheesy and cheap looking imo!!! hopefully it comes out this week. in nyc and bergen county it is 100% not coming out today i am 100% sure of it sucks!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] iboj007:
Looks like it's dead for today.

Talked to Premier for 20 minutes and they didn't have it and didn't know a date for release and also called one of the larger corporate stores in the area and they said "later this month".

I guess it's back to my boring old Tilt until further notice.

This sucks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] yuokool12:
I have given up on a release today but i am still looking forward to something happening later this week.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Msingh999:
AT&T is already advertising for the bold I just saw an ad. >_> WTF
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DJ Justifier:
You know, I tried to do something good and make my first post a good one

and actually provide something useful to this thread, which I have been following for some time now.

I'm not sure why Black93300ZX felt the need to criticize me for quoting the bible

and for flaming me about the use of the photo's without my permission as opposed to

being happy that the phone is actually coming out.

The quote, after all, was that the messenger was bringing hope. That is why I used it.

Now I'm not calling myself an Angel of God but I'm simple saying I come baring good news.

As far as the photo's, all I said was not to use them without permission so that way

I would know and keep track of how, when, where and why they would be used

not to prevent a "public forum" from "re-post[ing them] in other locations".

I'm not dumb, I know where I posted them - THANK YOU! - and I'm sorry

if I stole any thunder from you leading you to steal mine by posting a link to

an eBay auction that happened to get listed shortly after my post.

Great business move and kudos to whoever listed it ;) Also, congrats on your typing skills!

I guess I also owe an apology to whoever is trying to sell their pre-release models

for ungodly amounts of money in a weak and unstable economy.

I know now my posting that the phone is getting released officially soon

is going to hurt your sales.

NOW, to answer the few questions I was asked:

asadkhan1988 & lbhocky19, I am in Philadelphia and I DID NOT buy it in a store.

bigb252, I don't know where to get that info from. Guess I'm not a "Boy Genius" :cool:

cincy1020, I took them with "old faithful": the Nokia N95.

scdavis, I did not get the phone off eBay, yes the phone was dropped

and my info comes from my trusted sources who have yet to be wrong

when they know I'm obsessing about a phone thats coming to AT&T.

They are the same source that provided me the document below a FULL week before

the Nokia N75 was officially launched that I posted elsewhere on April 27, 2007:

and I stand by my sources when they tell me the phone will be shipping within the next two weeks

(meaning it could ship today, tomorrow, the next day or someday next week)

and that it was always planned to come out closer to Black Friday NOT ON Black Friday!

As I always say "I have the BEST friends!"

To everyone who actually APPRECIATED my post THANK YOU for your support.

Also, I just want to thank and say how much I love websites like Boy Genius Report, Engadget Mobile,

Mac News Network and Electronista and of course XDA (among many fine others... :D)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] grmcgee:
I have been following this forum for about a month. Like many of you, I have already decided that my next phone will be an AT&T Fuze. I currently have an 8525, purchased on the first day of availability, Nov 16, 2006. The 8525 has served me very well -- no hardware problems, upgraded to AT&T WM 6.0 ROM, Office applications, Slingbox client, good 3G availability, good wifi support, etc. The 8525 does a decent job with email -- Gmail IMAP and ISP POP3. I am looking forward to the Fuze enhancements to all of this, and there is no way that I want to change to a different environment, no matter how good the Bold is. I also carry a Curve, and while it is good for email, it is useless for almost everything else. Waiting another few days or weeks for a Fuze is not a big deal. What I really want is the mythical "Touch HD with a slide out keyboard"!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asingic:
where are the new rumors ...? need something to do at work hahah
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mkalbouneh:
that's stupid someone please change the dumb title !!!

i am disappointed

:mad:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] renegadebmw:
I say we take m.carroll's advice. I have had twitter.com/ATTNews in my Reader for about a week now and it has provided more truth and a lot less clutter.

I only continue to look here for pictures to drool over instead of working. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Captain_Throwback:
my store manager friend called me at about 11:00 to tell me he hasn't received his daily UPS shipment yet, but as soon as he does, he'll let me know if the Fuze has arrived. He said he's also going to do some checking and try to verify exactly what he's scheduled to get. the wait continues . . .
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asingic:
still seems like there is a lot of "in the air"

local store told me to call back at 3:30 to see if they get them, they were clueless.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ndn715:
it's a longshot, but it's still not available on premier, but the bold is...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Scoop3:
It's gotta be possible that stores COULD get it before premier... or atleast that's what I choose to believe lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dodgebj2:
Fuze mobility said it will be out on the 11th and I would assume they are right. I called about 6 stores today and got all the round about answers everyone is getting. The only thing they all had in common was saying the BOLD is here. Whoop-t-do.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thehyecircus:
I hope Fuze Mobility is right with the 11th, because my local store said TWO WEEKS.

And here I was, all set to spend tonight watching election news while messing with my newest and favoritest gadget of all time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] trimark:
Well since my ATT contract is up on 12/11 and my ATT 8525 mic doesn't work now I just went through a long and painful online help chat with AT&T, their ONLY suggestion was a Tilt, iPhone or Blackberry Bold as a replacement. They said they have nothing newer from HTC.

Yeah, I know, I'm going to head down to a store Wednesday and see what they have...
