Hey guys I am having a really hard time choosing between these 2 phones. I really like the G1 for it's android feature but also like the Fuze for the fact that it's pretty solid and the Larger sized keyboard. Coming from a Nokia E62 it's nice to have a keyboard. I would just like your opinion witch one has a better aftermarket community. FYI I am an ATT customer.
Both are so different as far as the operating system is concerned that you can't imagine their comparison. You can run Android on FUZE but not vice versa. I would suggest go for FUZE. Good luck.
Fuze for me, whilst the G1 might be good, its in its early stages yet. If you want a gr8 device which is solid, the FUze is for me every time.
I was looking at that last night and it looked interesting but I thought there were still a lot of problems with it hanging up. Anyway I am looking more towards the Fuze just for the fact that I won't have to deal with getting an Unlocked G1 plus it would be cheaper to get the fuze. But I have heard that WM6.1 is pretty laggy and the G1 with the Android is very smooth.

If your brave enough after just buying.... flash it, that will solve your lag issues.... but do please read FULLY before doing so. Good Luck and have fun with your fuze.

Welcome to the forum
Please visit here: http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdachooser
Select depending on your need between the 2 devices and choose the one fits better your personal needs
Good luck,
Well thanx for all the replies guys and am now happy to say that I am an ATT HTC Fuze owner along with my fiance. All though hers will not be a extensively modded as mine
aye guys. i am really having a hard time with my touch pro. it is so fkn slow and unresponsive it makes me want to break it. im thinking i should sell it and get the iphone 3gs?
is it a good idea?? thanks people
thanks in advance
wuchacarlsee
that's a downgrade decision,,, iPhone 3GS is no better than TP.
I am aware of your hardware problem with your keyboard. I am having this problem as well. I went to hTC center yesterday, but it was closed due to extended holiday. Don't you worry about your keyboard thingie, it is easily fixable. While the OS, just install Energy ROM, the latest, 24th if I'm not mistaken, it speed is blazing fast,,,
consider buying hTC Leo instead of iPhone 3GS,,, but it is your decision, your money is your own money,,,
OMG just not an iphone!!! better get some newer HTC, best HD2 if u want it faster, but depands on the money u can spend. even a new nokia will be much better then an iphone. but stil HTC is a HTC. i bought my few months ago after having a 5 years old Blueangel and believe me, that one u wanna smash in to the wall. touch pro is muuuuch better of course just get newer one and ull be ok.
..........
please not another one...theres enough iPhone owners in this world already...just like the first guy said...its a BIG downgrade...the TP is really quick with EnergyROM installed..i recommend before giving it up...should solve ur problem btw....
but if ure ever gonna give it up..get an Andriod or the Leo(HD2)..andriod is an intresting OS but it still hasnt matured yet...id save ur money and get the HD2 if i were you...but thats just me...its totally up to you bro..im not gonna hate u if ure gonna get the fruit phone...its ur decision
good luck
yeah. i just like the simplicity and the fun you get from the iphone. cause i heard 3gs has a 600mgh proccesor. which is really fast. i can score an iphone 3gs for 600 but hd2 is like 1000 or something like that.
thanks anyway guys.
I would certainly try a custom ROM as it really brings the touch pro to life. Lets not forget that the iphone is quite dated compared to what HTC is producing (in my opinion) and the build quality of HTCs are far superior, so if you did throw an HTC against a wall it would probably bounce off and still continue to work
Have you considered Android rather than windows mobile. I used a Hero in T-Mobile last week and was very impressed with the speed of the OS.
Hi, new to HTC phones, been an apple fanboy, but now I'm trying out different phones. I've been eyeing this one, HTC Fuze of late, cause mainly, I don't have a data plan and don't plan on too either. I want to know what owners think about this phone, and I can decide from there.
I mean many youtube comments of reviews over this phone been on both sides, and I mean the phone has been discontinued and people say from all the bugs and problems.
Sway me people on the XDA forums! Are you happy with the choice of this phone and recommend it? Or pull me out of its death trap.
Please comment cause it would really help. Thank you.
Fuze is a pretty good cell phone.It's vga lcd is impressing!!!
I use mine daily for work & leisure with a TAEL ROM, works fine for me I like it.
If you can live without a keyboard it may be worth looking at the Diamond 2.
These devices are good but you do need to more technically capable to get the most from them.
Will be sticking to mine for a while as minimal button & no d-pad devices are ****e in the real world, I have yet to see anyone who can type as fast & error free on a touch keyboard.
I've had my fuze since it came out and i love it. I usually run the latest energy rom on mine though and I didn't like the phone near as much without it. So my advice is if you have a little computer know-how and are willing to read the forums the hardware is just fine and everything is here to make the fuze exactly what you want it to be, well aside from the 1Ghz speed and wvga res of the new gen of phones I'd say go for it
Oh and I second the look at the diamond 2 if you don't need hardware keys cause it has a better blue tooth stack, but no keyboard means I won't buy personally

for around 100 bucks its a really solid phone assuming you only need english load up the latest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751 energy rom(id suggust cookie 23xxx builds) and all those problems disappear (except camera, still as in reviews)
once you put the new roms on it you would think it was released in late 2009
So does any one know what are the best roms and changes?
it all depends on which phone did you previously used...if you have used low level phone..then definately you will like this......i love this phone.....especially when using energy roms.....as previously i had htc opal.....
I had the HTC Fuze and the problem with these phone with a keyboard is that it will eventually break over time. The phone was also thick and heavy. Oh yeah, the D-pad was practically unusable. I dont know if the Touch Pro shares the same problem as the Fuze. Anyways the main thing that got me to sell the phone was the keyboard breaking.
the board will break????
I mean- it has the capabilities of 4G on TMO when released
dualboots android (perfectly stable and daily driver)
win mo 6.5 for buisness use/ more apps/ preference
top of the line specs... snapdragon, 4.3inch screen, dual led flash etc.
the only thing missing is an 8MP camera, but i would rather have a dualboot android than 3 more MPs.
This leads me to the question- is the HD2 the best all around phone out today?
Yes ....if it wasn't on t-mo
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I bought one the day they debuted and it was a pile of crap I went through three of them and didn't get one that didn't freeze on boot at least every other time, or delete all my information every other day. So no I do not believe it is the best all around phone, I would say thats the nexus one personally
It not only let you boot Android and WM, coming soon will boot WP7 too!
So it will be the first and only device booting 3 OS and specs are same or even better than newer devices.
I say yes: Leo is one of the best HTC devices ever made!
Dont forget Ubuntu and now: MeeGo
that´s right thanks!
I believe it might be...I own an N1, G2, iphone 4, and soon to be Glacier and I use my HD2 the most...Android is now stable as ever...Gingerbread will be on it soon...this phone has been a monster since it dropped..!!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I love my HD2. Wouldn't trade it for any phone out right now. I still get questions about it.
Agreed (^_^)
I would agree too, which is why I'm finding it so difficult to upgrade and part with now.
The HTC HD7 or HTC Desire HD are my current next thoughts (hopefully this month too), but can't say I'm excited about either of them and hoping for something a little more special to come out by anyone really (of course leaning more towards HTC as I have done so for over 8 years now).
Easily my favorite phone ever which is non-Android.
I was actually thinking about picking an HD2 up for the hell of it to throw Android on since I'm getting sick of the size of my HTC Aria...but I may switch from AT&T to Spring to get an Evo or Evo2.
I'm one of those guys who won't use a phone without a physical keyboard. I can't get used to screen-typing, I just don't like the feel of it. If the HD2 had a Pro variant with a slide-out, I'd own it already. I recognize it's an awesome phone though, just not for me.

+1. If there was a pro-version THEN it would be THE best phone ever to-date. I consider myself a VERY heavy user and the ROM I have seems to work like a charm.
The only reason I have to take the battery out is to turn it off as the on/off button has been reprogrammed!
Sadly, switching to a Dell Venue in two weeks... oh for the keyboard.
(Orb, AFAIK - and I could be wrong! - WinPho7 requires hardware mods for it to work on a HD2 so don't expect it)

So you're going the W7P route? The Dell Venue looks good, but not please with the 3.5mm jack on top (like silly iPhone thingys) and the keyboard looks like old school keyboards being far to small to actually use. Hmm... decisions... decisions?!

The jack on top means that when you dock it (which I'm guessing you will be able to) into a 3rd party desktop cradle you will still be able to listen to music - unlike my HD2's docks!
Don't know how the keys will feel.... I can always send it back if they are bad
I had a Rhodium before and must say I´m a real keyboard device person but got tired of the slowness of Rhodium, then got Leo and I´m still missing a real kb but in terms of speed there is no comparative.

I moved to T-Mo almost two weeks ago over from VZW. I had T-Mo before but coverage was far less back then.
I picked up the HD2 and really liked it but missed Android. I had several failed attempts to get Android to run. I then decided to separate my work and personal line with two phones so I grabbed the G2.
Now I re-flashed my HD2 to a Mega Leo Rom, was an Energy ROM. Then I made a second attempt at Android on a fresh reformatted sd and put on Mdeejay EVo Sense rom.
I was amazed how slick Android boots on HD2. Of Course there has been some bumps with a Flaky Data connection and it will not install Angry Birds from the Market. I was drawn to the HD2 because I had a Droid X and the larger screen was the attraction.
In the end the HD2 is a great device with all the options and have a Snapdragon processor makes it available to compete with current phones.
Android or W7P?

That maybe, but I've never used mine for playing music through a dock, I usually make my own custom docks and prefer to have the ability to pick up my phone from out of my pocket, with it being the right way up already and the jack underneath for easy usage generally, especially whilst seated on the TfL for example.
However, I'd image this is a 50/50 point, where half would prefer the jack on the bottom and vice versa.
CPW are bugging me weekly to upgrade to anything fro free and with just a 12 month contract, but stuck in what to go for. I'm only going to keep the phone for 3-4 months too and probably give it to my other half to use (whose a heavy Outlook user) so thinking a W7P, but I know she'd prefer Android with the newer HTC sense. I'm also not impressed enough with the Desire HD, so wondering if I should be waiting.
I just bought a Sony LiveView to go with an Android 2.0+ and can't find out if it will work with a W7P at all (too early to ask I guess), so thinking to go with a Desire HD with the Sony LiveView until a newer handset comes out that is much better (probably in a couple of months) and give the above to my Mrs to use, maybe?
I think I read that Android 3.0 (Gingerbread) needs 1.5Ghz to run well and in general smartphones are still some months away from that official speed.
best non android and android phone ever ... its the BEST FONE EVAAA !!

After 3 phones, the statistical odds are is that you're the one with the manufacturing defect.
Well, I WAS the proud owner of an HTC HD2 running android, but today, out of anywhere, the digitalizer stopped working. I have read a little and found out this is a common issue.
Apparently puching the button hard didnt work.
So I considering getting a new phone, so Im asking for recomendations.
I would really like a phone as capable of being modded as the HD2, although hard, the community and roms I saw there were almost daily, where as in other phones ive seen they could take weeks/months for an update to appear.
Obviously a more powerful phone would be better, though I dont want a powerhouse (not a lot of money).
and last thing it should have a screen as big as the htc hd2. I just got used to it.
So.... any recomendations?
I'd recommend an int sgs 2 for the best in fluidity, performance and smoothness of android (apart from the galaxy nexus)
You're probably lusting for sense so go with a sensation I guess or similar.
Okay so thats a vote for samsung
lets see what other contendants appear.
And talking about the Sense thingy, I actually hate it, clutters the phone a lot with things I dont use.
The first thing im gonna do with ANY phone is most likely root it and install something cyanogen or vanilla (yeah cyanogen puts a lot of stuff, but its stuff I DO use )
Galaxy Nexus is a horrible* phone. The only thing somewhat saving it is ICS.
* "Horrible" is defined by modern standards.
I would shove the LG Optimus LTE in, but it does not match what you are looking for in price. Nor are people likely to give it much attention.
You can count this as another vote for Samsung.
Well I would REALLY want the edge.
Thing is IDK if I could get this to work (pushing the end call button seems to be kinda working now and then) ...
Still so far is samsung 2, htc 1, others 0
