Latest spy shots show AT&T Fuze defaced with carrier's logo

by Chris Ziegler, posted Oct 11th 2008 at 1:10PM

We'd been encouraged in previous spy shots that AT&T was intending to keep a clean, brand-free look on the front of the Fuze, but what were we thinking? That'd never sit well with the suits up on the 49th floor of AT&T's headquarters (we just made that up, by the way -- we have no idea how many floors AT&T's headquarters has), and sure enough, the latest batch of shots is showing a big ol' logo slapped on the upper right of the face. The poster says release is currently planned for early November, but we'd say that target is about as solid as one of those Jello rings you make in a bundt mold. We'll believe it when it's on the shelf, as they say.

Anyone know if ATT took the forward facing cam out too?

See, I can't tell if it's the at&t logo at the top, or the cam

@ Shimmy:
That is clearly the ATT symbol on the top right. A US carrier would never release a phone with a front-facing camera, at least not at this point in time.

Shoot, I guess I was getting my hopes up :(

Now, I just need to know the price, since I'm gonna have to pick this up at near no-contract price to replace my Q

i think. i thought it was wear the logo was not sure. but i think they might have taken it off. so does this mean that att is not planning to get the htc diamond? i really don't like the thickness of the qwerty keyboard?

any information?

they took the front cam off like they always do. theres really not too much of a need for it in the US

and i doubt they will get the diamond because of the iphone
and a user who has the fuze on xda said the cdma diamond is nearly as thick as the fuze

They said the CDMA one is nearly as thick as the Fuze, which I doubt. The GSM one is about half the thickness as the Fuze.

AT&T HQ looks like it might just have a 97th floor:

Anyone notice the "UFO" in the GMaps picture from the link above?
Look up the building and scroll to zoom.
They are watching us!

What worries me isn't the logo... it's that ugly AT@T software I'm seeing on the screen! What the heck is that? So help me if AT&T ruins the touchflo GUI with cheap WinMo junk, I'll buy an unlocked handset just to spite them.
But seriously, what's up with that? Will the interface look on the Fuze how it does on an unlocked Touch Pro?
