or theyre just dumb

the stores near me that have knowledge have all said the 11th. they gave up on secretiveness
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:
My god, my first call to my local at&t store to ask about the fuze. They said come in tomorrow morning! :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pinktaco:
yeah they were dumb i just got pissed and left.

Can't wait till 11th.

According to the features listed under the picture:

Speed performance rating: Class 2 (based on SD 2.00 Specification)

Does anyone know where to buy a 16 GB micro sd higher than a Class 2? (EDIT: According to post #239 they don't exist yet.)

I found one seller on ebay with the 16 GB class 2 micro sd, SD-USB adapter, mini sd and SD adapter for $70. Most of them either give you the mini and sd adapter or the USB adapter.

I love it... The guy got offered $560 and it wasn't good enough: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=160296411506

Greedy...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:
LOL, My god, its out already! Your right.. Greedy!

I wonder if the at&t version is gonna have the same crappy battery life as the CDMA version. God, I hope not. I know when I had the pre-release, the batt life was REAL good!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] weaselcossey:
I seriously doubt you'll be able to change the PTT function via Start>Settings>Personal>Buttons. I'm sure any decent ROM will have it remapped to something useful. I always liked: press for voice command, and hold for record.

A good buddy of mine works at a store here in houston texas. Ive been hounding him everyday this month, and said they got 3 in today. Im going to pick it up tomorrow......Is this the only store with them kind of confused but going asap tomorrow.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:
someone bought one already but apparently theres 2 stores in the country which have them :/

the store i deal with has told me they can sell as soon as they get them though
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] HoustonRox:
Well this store is not big, on the outskirts of houston. This guy wouldnt lie, has them in his hand and can sell me one hmmmm, just weird if this is the only store ha
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:
Many locations have them but very few. I would bet that many at&t employees are saving the first batch for themselves and that is why you get the mixed answers. This has to be the case in one of the location near me as I was told by a women that they just got them, get to the store and a guy says, nope, not yet, maybe the end of the month but then turns around with his fellow employees as they form a circle jerk and wip out there fuze's! LOL

A search for Fuze on the att site now brings up more than just the rebate form. Brings up accessories, mostly universal stuff, but still, a step in the right direction!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Anyone want to point me in the right direction for an ebay 16gb microSD. I haven't had good experiences with eBay and hope that someone can find me a legit card. All I've seen that go for $70 is fake ones.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] btprice2001:
Anyone want to point me in the direction of an AT&T store that has the Fuze or that will even acknowledge its existence? This is so frustrating, I can't wait much longer!

http://cgi.ebay.com/SanDisk-16GB-Mi...14&_trkparms=72:1207|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1308

The seller's rating is very high, and plently of feedback. Even has a good return policy.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Ah. Thank you. I did not notice that link if it was in the thread before. :rolleyes:

I seemed to have been too busy drooling over the pics of the fuze :D

I actually bought a memory card from that seller years back. Its still running great - recommended seller :)

The card he is selling is Class 2 though...

some of the stores i called said they'll have Fuze on monday, while the rest said it'll be released on tuesday. I am hoping to grab one on Monday as I will be busy both Tuesday and Wednesday (not to mention they'll most likely be sold out by then). But I am not eligible for upgrade until Jan 09, I'd hate to have to pay $75 less retail price when I only have a few more weeks to go. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asingic:
are you guys asking the same stores you did previously? an then all of a sudden they have them?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asingic:
can stores check inventory of other stores?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rymonday:
Ive been calling alot of stores that I have been last week and did not have a clue about the fuze. Now they all seem to know what it is and they will have some in early next week sometime.

Sounds like a few lucky stores in NC and IN got some in stock on Friday.

Does ATT receive shipments on Saturday? If so I assume more stores will have them in later this afternoon.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Captain_Throwback:
Well, first and foremost, I have the FM Radio cab I'm going to install.

I also have the G-Sensor calibrator cab.

Tomtom cab, for my GPS navigation.

I have the iPhone skin for Windows Media player (its not a cab, but I have it to copy over to the phone. Its better than the default skin)

Then, I have some miscellaneous cabs for Programs I use frequently on my PPC:

iSilo, for reading Palm docs

PocketRar, for unzipping archives

SKTools - a good program for system tweaks and includes Registry Explorer

XCPUScalar - now this one I probably won't install, since I don't think it supports overclocking on the Fuze. But I paid for it to use on my Treo, and I'd hate to waste it. Of course, I'd also hate to brick my phone, so I'll likely just leave this one alone.

Spirit Level - this allows me to use the phone as a level, essentially. I've never tried it (because I've never had a phone with an accelerometer), but I'd like to see how it works

WMWifiRouter - another one I've never tried, but I wanted to see how it works. I'm sure Internet Connection Sharing should suffice for this purpose, but its nice to have an alternative.

Nothing wrong except its a class 2. If you dont mind slug transfer speeds then get it.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DavidJ84:
There was a post on the AT&T board saying the YouTube app wasn't included on his Fuze. I also took a look through the leaked documents on BGR and they don't mention YouTube at all. I don't want to jump to conclusions until I have a Fuze in my hands, but can anyone confirm this? That'd be very shady of AT&T to pull the YouTube app from the Fuze but let the iPhone have one. Not like it couldn't just be put back on there, but it's the principle...

Also, tried all the stores in the west and north west Chicago suburbs and no Fuzes in stock. Some of the stores have been getting calls all morning about it. I blame you people!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Msingh999:
Actually they just removed it from the tab, you have to go into the programs menu

watch the video on http://wmexperts.com/reviews/smartphones/att_fuze_handson_video_and_gal.html

they go through the youtube app and show where it is found

I called a store in far northern IL and found out they had it. I rushed...got out...and went to the store. When I got there I found a surprise. They had no Fuzes...she thought I wanted a Vue!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] omaralt:
hey, its weird, but i cant find the youtube program on the fuze.. i saw that on that video it was under games, however, i dont have it there. whats really werid, is earlier i tried hard reseting the phone, and then soft reseting before the customizations, to avoid the at&t bloatware, and once i did that, youtube was there! dont get it.. i did end up re-hard resetting to install the bloat ware, because without it , you dont get touch flo 3d, which is pretty cool. other than that, loving the phone, the screen is amazing.. however, i am having a little problem with the "dpad". up and down work fine, left and right are really hard to press. left is better than right, which i think may be defective. i might end up taking it back to the store in a few weeks to exchange it out..

EDIT: i did end up installing the youtube app from here:

it works great, and you can save the videos, so i'm fine now :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] omaralt:
something else i dont like, is that you dont know when its charging or done charging, theres no indication light. comparing it to the tilt, they definately left some stuff out, hardware wise... the scroll wheel was amazing, have no idea why they didnt include it.. the ok button and other shortcuts on the dpad on the tilt were real useful. you could open up messaging or open up PIE with one button... guess i just gotta get used to it
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asingic:
HAHA I did the same thing, probably the same dumb lady I talked to . . .
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Doesn't the led around the d-pad start glowing when you charge it? Doesn't it change different colors when you're done charging? That's what I always thought....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Msingh999:
I know the LED looks like it's filling up when its charging, but different colors? I don't know
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Oh. Sorry for the confusion. Haven't actually charged a touch pro or fuze before so I wouldn't know. Just played with one.

Well guys my buddy was telling the truth, they got 3 in yesterday and I picked mine up today. I also got my Citi discount of 55% so go the phone for 250. He also bumped off 50 because they said because the phone wasnt on the website yet. Its very strange how this store got them in and happen to be the one my buddy works at.

Im not saying this to be a punk cause ive been wanting this along time. The point is, it will be any day very soon.

Austin, Tx

My son and I just left the Texas vs. Baylor game in 4th quarter and on the way home to Cedar Park I stopped at the ATT store outside Lakeline Mall on 183. The girl, Tabitha, turned to her manager and he said they don't know the launch but they can sell them, I got one. Number is 512-331-1780 sote is 14010 N. US Hwy 183 Austin Tx. She said they have 10, this was the first they've sold at the store, now 9 I guess.

Just walked in and thought I'd get this out to anyone in Austin.

msb it was an ATT store, just not sure why random stores recieved random quantity.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] blkjack74:
Wow, sounds like you really plan on taking full advantage of the Fuze. I'll maybe give the first 4 you mentioned a go- specifically the FM radio, but some of the other things I'd be at a lost. This will be my first smartphone, so I'm unsure of all the possibilites. Has anyone started a thread for what kind of apps they plan to install on their Fuze?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TweakMyDevice:
Well no where in the southeast has them. I've called Charlotte, Atlanta, Greenville, Columbia, Charleston, and of course Asheville. Even Denver CO is still waiting...my dad is out there for the weekend, figured he could pick up one and I'd have it tomorrow when he flew back in to Greenville.

Needless to say I'm envious of you peeps in IN and TX, seems like those are only states with them already. O well, Tuesday isn't that far away = )

anyone find one yet in the DFW area? Since I believe the warehouse for AT&T is in the area, they'd be the first stores to have recieved them.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] SOULd OUT:
I wish...

It would be nice, though I've heard that it has damaged some Touch Pro's, but according to those "official" scans out there it wont be included with AT&T's Fuze.

When a customer makes a sale however, according to aforementioned "Official" scans, the AT&T sales rep is supposed to suggest a "Black Silicone Case - HTC Fuze," which doesn't look like the EU version of it at all. As well as an assortment of other different cases in the store.

Indiana...

The poster that found the AT&T store in Indiana that was selling Fuzes was correct; but they are out of them now. How do I know? I got the last one!!! :D

You will NOT be disappointed with this device. And yes, there were even people there from Chicago trading up an iPhone 3G for this thing! Yes, it IS all that!!!!

Now if I could only find a Windows Live cab that works with the phone, that would be great... the one that I have now worked just fine with the Wizard and the Kaiser, but Raphael is having issues with it... anyone know where I can get it???

Thanks in advance!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cparkhorn:
I got accessories, don't know why

I got the fuze and was up for a 2 year renewal, here's what I got:

1. Fuze for $399

2. $30.00 discount for premium account (It's a personal account, but I travel overseas often, so my bills are usually in the $800 range, maybe why, but this was the first I've hear of this and was shocked)

3. $100 mail in rebate

Don't know why I got these, but I wasn't going to argue (and I'll take a picture if I have to prove it)

4. bluetooth headset (AT&T or cheaper motorola-would have to pay extra for expensive one and i didn't)

5. car charger

6. leather belt case, at&t branded box, she had to test a bunch of them for fit because this was their first time to sell a fuze.

I was a little shocked, and now somone in my family will be getting a motorola bluetooth for christmas, ha, considering I've got 2 and don't really use either.

I'd be willing to load up a youtube cab if anyone has it, or if someone might know where to look on my fuze for the file that I might be missing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:
Ya know, funny you should say that. When I had the pre-release fuze, I picked up this nice little case. Fit PERFECT! After about 3 days of use, I noticed some small scrathes on the phone. I figured it was due to the pre-release build. But now, I am using the same case with the at&t version and no problems yet. Where can you pick up a silicone case for the fuze or touch pro? I have not seen one yet other then the cheap looking rubber ones here: http://www.eforcity.com/htc-touch-pro.html

They seem to work well and they are a rubber silicone but how would you get this on your hip or belt??
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:
Congrats man... I wish I can fid an at&t store in norther NJ that has it. I did make some calls and one store said they had it but it was a VUE.. Should have known.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Raspster:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ah_hin:

its the 11th

YouTube

Just thought everyone should know that the YouTube program is still on the device. ATT just removed the shortcut to it. You can find it in the windows directory. It's youtube.exe, and there is also a shortcut for it in the windows directory as well. You will just have to copy it from the windows directory, and paste it into "\windows\start menu\programs". Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
Great news, I really would've been amazed to see them take that out. Maybe they're trying to save all of that 3G bandwidth for the iPhones by removing the shortcut! >:O

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rccola159:
Can't wait for the 11th to come around. Just asked a rep at a corp store today, he said they'll be for sale a couple of days after that.

Semi-OT: The Bold's screen is ridiculous. The best display I've seen yet. Does the Fuze have a comparable screen?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] baboola:
for sale? as in there will be discount? or they start selling them?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] g2tl:
If you thought the Bold's screen was ridiculous, you'll be floored when you get the Fuze (I saw both)

A little larger screen, but twice the pixel count :D

Not exactly.

Bold = 320 x 320

Fuze = 640 x 480.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rccola159:
Start selling them. Actually he said the "release" is the 11th, but they wont sell them until later on in the week.

And hopefully the screen is that great. I can't wait to use Opera Mobile on the Fuze, it's no Touch HD, but it's a major step up from the Blackjack that I've been stuck with.

Hey, has anyone in Colorado been able to get a FUZE yet? If so where did you get it? From my own research all the stores that i called are saying the 11th or some time after that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Captain_Throwback:
Internet Connection Sharing?

I know I remember this being mentioned before, but can any of you happy Fuze owners confirm whether there's a shortcut to Internet Connection Sharing in the Programs Menu? That's what I'll be using to tether, and I just want to see if its there already, or if I'm going to have to create my own shortcut to it (because it was also mentioned the program is still on the device even if the shortcut was removed).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
It was under settings IIRC, you'd go into Settings > All Settings > Network Settings > Internet Connection Sharing.

This was my only PPC, you're talking about the thing that has an on/off switch and you can choose bluetooth or USB to tether right? If so, that's where it was on my pre-release.

P.S.: My balls aren't big enough to pimp a pink RAZR, I commend you for your efforts and your testicular fortitude.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] omaralt:
yes there is. the nice thing is that when you plug in the mini usb cable, it automatically asks you if you want to use activesync, use it as a disk drive, or internet sharing. there is also the icon in the program menu
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Black93300ZX:
Hmmm, my pre-release just said ActiveSync or disk drive I believe... Interesting.
