It's actually much better. You use punctuation much more than you use the numbers. Battery life is also better on the Fuze.  The Fuze specs advertise 8 hours of talk time, while the Sprint Pro advertises 4(CDMA is usually more power hungry. The Sprint touch pro I was using also performed extremley hot during use, even hotter than my old ATT/Cingular 8525(The original TYTN). <br><br>So unless you got an old SERO account with Sprint or ATT coverage in your area is bad then go with the Fuze. The Verizon one just plain sucks. The Fuze is already a brick and the Verizon Touch Pro is like a brick house. Plus it has less RAM]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gerard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2008 6:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fuze, X1, and a couple Touch Pros: the ultimate WinMo smackdown]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</guid><description><![CDATA[As bad as the One and Co broken d-pad is on the FUZE, is the missing numbers row really all bad?

Some models are ignored in certain sections for no reason. The pictures are scattered through the article randomly, not matching up to the paragraphs at all; it's difficult to impossible to see what's being described. For some reason, we have no picture of the Verizon model in many of the pictures, or a picture of the back of the Verizon model when all other 3 are of the front of their respective phones. Bizarre :-(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TheGasMan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 27th 2008 8:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fuze, X1, and a couple Touch Pros: the ultimate WinMo smackdown]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's Ziegler for you.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Christian Walters]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 27th 2008 8:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fuze, X1, and a couple Touch Pros: the ultimate WinMo smackdown]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</guid><description><![CDATA[Have to disagree that the pictures aren't matched up to the paragraphs.

I love my touch pro. <br><br>I'm glad you mentioned the Cooked ROMs Chris, they're what make these devices amazing, not so much the stock ROMs. Seriously, give a few of them a try, and you'll see what I mean.

I'm taking it back, but I can give my impressions of it before then:<br><br>It's smaller than it looks in pictures. It's about as thick as a deck of cards, and about as long as one as well.<br>As the article mentioned, it is a fingerprint and oil MAGNET. It's worse than the PSP by far, and that is saying something. It was so filthy after five minutes of use that I seriously looked at my hands and was bewildered that such filth could come from them.<br>The build quality is great overall. It seems like it could withstand a fall, and the slide mechanism has a nice "Thack" to it when you close it.Touchflo 3D is easy to use, and it works like it should. All of the business oriented WinMo features are there as well underneath the touchflo interface.<br><br><br>Now for why I'm not keeping it (other than the obvious reason which is that I already have a perfectly good phone):<br><br>The Fuze is subject to weird lag at times while doing things that normally don't lag (such as flipping through TouchFlo)<br><br>The speaker on the Fuze is ridiculously poor (The loudest ringtone could barely be heard through my pocket)<br><br>You absolutely need to use the stylus for all but the most basic of functions (WinMo clearly wasn't designed for a finger to navigate) which means anything that isn't TouchFlo<br><br>TERRIBLE Wi-Fi radio (I was RIGHT NEXT to the router and I didn't have a full strength signal. Give me a break)<br><br>Setting up Wi-Fi was a pain in the ass thanks to AT&T's hidden proxy. Phone didn't auto-configure DNS either like any other WiFi device would either (had to do it manually) the problem wasn't my router either, because other devices auto configure DNS just fine.<br><br>Last, but not least, my Fuze came defective. It will only play five seconds of a song before it cuts out. I've never heard of this problem before, so I'm fairly sure it's just my phone specifically (your mileage may vary)<br><br>On the plus side, I don't think the Fuze loses in style to any other WinMo phone (the X1 included). The web browser works great, and it is full HTML. The screen is a gorgeous 640x480 (or 480x640, depending on how you look at it) which probably contributes to the lag, but I'd say it's worth it. All in all, if I didn't already have an Iphone (no, I'm not comparing the Fuze to an Iphone, I'm simply stating the fact that I wasn't in need of a phone) I'd probably be very happy with the Fuze, with the exception of the terrible Wi-Fi performance. The Camera is in a completely different league from the Iphone, but it's not enough to keep me from returning the phone and buying something else with the 300 dollars. <br><br>The camera and the keyboard on the Fuze make me opine for an Iphone with a full qwerty keyboard and a decent camera. Or an Iphone with better battery life....or an Iphone with a higher res screen....or a G1. Can't win them all.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BananaBoat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2008 1:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fuze, X1, and a couple Touch Pros: the ultimate WinMo smackdown]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</guid><description><![CDATA[I forgot to mention that the phone does include the "removeproxy.cab" that gets rid of AT&T's proxy. It's not listed in the (thin...very thin) manual provided by AT&T, but it is there under programs > tools > Proxy   The cab to return the proxy to normal is there as well.<br><br>I also neglected to mention that in my (rather limited) testing, the call quality was exceptional, with people reporting that they could hear me just fine. My hearing isn't the best, and as mentioned, the speaker on the Fuze is junk, but I could hear people I was talking to without a problem. The real problem with the speaker becomes apparent when you are in a crowd, and you don't hear your ringtone go off because it's so incredibly low. If the phone isn't up against your body (if you are a girl, this means in a purse, or if you are a dude, it means there is thick clothing in the way) you won't feel the vibration either.<br><br>It's really a nice phone. The camera, screen, and the keyboard are miles ahead of the Iphone (the Iphone's screen looks low res in comparison, even if it is larger in dimensions). It just isn't perfect, or anywhere near it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BananaBoat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2008 1:12AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fuze, X1, and a couple Touch Pros: the ultimate WinMo smackdown]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh, and I keep seeing reviews of the Fuze where the Fuze comes in this sexy all black box....yeah...it doesn't.

Yea its faster and prettier but the functionality is VERY limited.. if all you need is web browsing, email, and you get all of your media thru itunes you would be an idiot not to get an iphone.. but if you need more advanced media and web functions the iphone WONT cut it.. We all know the iphone is missing a long list of features.. So dont pretend like the iphone is the end all of smartphones.. its kinda not even a smart phone my three year old a900 technically had more features and my free ninety nine samsung m520 can multitask and the iphone cant...

Chris Ziegler thinks that the all black looks better than the silver, and he prefers the cool diamond back to the solid color back on the Sprint version. How does this merit you saying he is not writing a fair review? He is just giving his opinion. IMO the Sprint Touch Pro looks way worse, too. The keyboards are evidently different. Chris likes the keyboard on the Fuze for a couple of different reason that he stated. He also says, "Ultimately it's a matter of personal opinion -- and we're sure we could adapt to any of the three if we had to." So shut the hell up; it's an opinion.<br><br>You need to stop taking brides from Sprint. It is obvious that you are hyping their product just because you use that network (notice how fucking dumb this sounds).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[T Hom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2008 11:30AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fuze, X1, and a couple Touch Pros: the ultimate WinMo smackdown]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</guid><description><![CDATA[Also you all can look at the pictures of the keyboards and look down at the keyboard you are using on a laptop or desktop and tell me which one closely resembles.

The reason why people love the Fuze's look over the Sprint Touch Pro is simply because the Fuze is an exact copy of the original GSM HTC Touch Pro design that people have been raving about since the Diamond was announced. Sprint adding a chrome outer body was unneccessary and just adds length and width to a device that is already rather big and thick.<br><br>#2. The Windows Key matters. Being able to type a huge e-mail and being able to select other programs WHILE in Landscape mode without having to bring your finger to the Touchscreen is ingenius. as far as a dedicated numbers keyrow is concerned, yea, I miss it, but half the time numbers are concerned...I have a touch screen to use for a dialer and when I use the keyboard, it's for texting. and I use symbols alot more then numbers in texting so it makes sense to me.<br><br>#3. Yea it's a fingerprint magnet; but what good looking device, gadget or car ISN'T? I have my HTC Fuze Wipe that completely rids the phone of fingerprints, smudges and dust so it looks brand new.<br><br>Am I glad the Touch Pro is on all the U.S. Carriers? yep.<br>Is the Sprint Touch Pro better?

For once I have never seen a review that involves ATT's network or products that engadget always favor ATT.  I have said it before engadget is so biased towards att and is funny how engadget always finds a way to talk s**t about sprint.  <br><br>On the looks Sprint Pro looks so much sexier from the front those chrome edges and a little bit rounded, from the back i have to say is weird looking at it in gray color but is not slippery or you don't get any fingerprints there. Not to put the fuze down it still looks nice but i would pick the pro.  <br><br>The decision is just based on the network you want to be on.  If you like paying high prices (double) for slower 3g and less 3g coverage then choose ATT or if sprint sucks in your area then choose att or the carrier that is on your area.  <br><br><br>But if you live in a city where both att and sprint are good whats the point of paying double the price? Unless you really are a fan of att.  Not to mention what else you can do with sprint like watch tv, turn by turn, etc already included in a plan much cheaper than att but i won't get into that even thouhg,  all of this is true but it will make me look biased towards Sprint.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Periks19]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 28th 2008 3:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fuze, X1, and a couple Touch Pros: the ultimate WinMo smackdown]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/27/fuze-x1-and-a-couple-touch-pros-the-ultimate-winmo-smackdown/</guid><description><![CDATA[@that'swhatshesaid,.y mention the iphone?
