Today HTC announced that the Fuze is now available to AT&T customers. The Fuze is a GSM version of the Touch Pro. It carries quad-band GSM/EDGE radios, as well as 850/1900/2100 tri-band HSDPA. Other radios include Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and A2DP stereo, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and GPS. It has a VGA touch screen, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The Fuze runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with HTC's TouchFLO 3D user interface and supports microSDHC cards. It will cost $300 after rebates with new agreement. It is available via AT&T's web site, AT&T-owned stores, and it will be at other retail outlets in the coming weeks.

Windows Vs. Android
Excellent, but hefty starting price
It should only cost $199 since a license for the mobile OS is $15.
There is no accelerometer in the device due to the slide out keyboard and the HTC Diamond is only $250.
Who knows, Walmart always has a weekly sale on cell phones. Last week's was the LG VU which is $199 after $100MIR, but was FREE with new 2yr agreement. The previous week was the new BOLD for the same price.
I'm dissappointed that the accelerometer is taken away. That would have been awesome.
But wally world might sell it for under 200 someday, maybe after christmas.
Android?
For instance, right now I have a PC running Ubuntu Linux but it was originally designed for Vista. I know its more complicated with mobile devices but it would be nice...
