[Touch Pro, Fuze General] whenemusattack:
I posted this in another thread, but here is my reason for getting the ATT Fuze and not looking back (kind of a long read):

I just wanted to comment on this post because I came from an iPhone to an HTC Touch Pro. First off I want to say I love my HTC/ATT Fuze and I liked the iPhone (although not as much).

The main reasons for me switching from the iPhone to the Fuze was that the iPhone was too damn restrictive, unless you hacked it, and even then it was still quite restrictive. The iPhone lacks MMS, Bluetooth (except for mono, no A2DP or any other form that I know of),the background is not customizable so unless you agree with El Jobso on his views of beauty your SOL (unless you hack). Their is absolutely no camera software (alls you can do is take basic pictures) for it's ****ty 2.0 MP camera, no video capture at all, can't tether, cant stream, and much more.

You can only download Apple approved applications. Also you must get iTunes with the iPhone and although it is not that bad of a music player, it requires you to install quicktime (which I think sucks), it also tries to stealth download other apple programs (such as their browser) and often adds bloatware (such as apple updater, and their Mobile me service icon even if you don't have mobile me). Although some of this can be alleviated by hacking your iPhone, it voids you warranty and can be quite tedious as Steve Jobs likes to update the software frequently which breaks your hack and you have to wait another few months for someone to create software to hack the new software so it ends up being a never ending cycle for hackers. iTunes also only allows you limited syncing functions if you don't have a Mac.

Also most of the hacking community is gone as most took their free apps away and usually try to sell them on "the app store" for way more than they are worth.

Also the iPhone is often associated with idiots as many of the "jocks and frat boys" at my college all have one, but don't know a damn thing about what it is capable of, they just know it's the cool thing to have. It also attracts a lot of shallow women and I will be damned if I use my phone as a tool to get laid!

With the HTC Fuze and Windows Mobile, it is like the complete opposite of the iPhone. It is mostly open you can install apps without voiding your warranty, the included Windows mobile software is, in my opinion, very useful (Office mobile, hands free, etc). Their is a huge modding/hacking/development community for this phone (such as this site, Fuze Mobility, etc). The VGA screen on this phone is beautiful (I will never go back to QVGA) although the iPhone's screen is quite good, as I often enjoyed it watching movies and surfing the web. The Touch Flo 3D is fantastic (although that is subjective). The QWERTY keyboard works great (I don't like on screen keyboards). You can also choose between using your fingers on the touch screen, the stylus on the touch screen, use the d-pad/scroll wheel, and the physical keyboard.

I could go on, but I am going to stop here because I am tired and I doubt you want to read anymore. Sorry for the long rant/comparison, I have just really grown to hate the iPhone and it's restrictiveness and have grown to love this phone and it's openness.
