so today was a good day. for one i was blessed to wake up this morning and to top it of i held a ATT FUZE in my hand. it was the best 10 plus minutes in my life while i was wearing clothes lol. yes people i was at the store today in Milford, CT. the sales associate there had a test model. and i must say it is everything you would have guessed it would be. first off both the stores i went to in the Milford, CT area said the phone will be available the first week in november. so the oct. 23 date is a farse. the guy at the store named weel call "joe the plumber" (cause he is so famous these days) said he had his training on this past tuesday. and most likely the phone will be in his words. "the same price as the tilt when it came out or price competativaly with the iphone. with the rebate if u get the data upgrade." im probally not going to say any thing about the phone you dont know but it reafems the fact that it is real and is as good as advertized. and in the Milford store i was told i was the only person to ask about the phone so i should be the only one with it for a while. im the 1st person in the list for the saleperson. i cant wait for that call in november.
the phone= it self has the diamond back like the unlocked version. i dont know i asked why cause sprints diamond has a soft touch back and he said "the test group didnt like that feture." but i said if ur typing on the table the phone will wiggle cause of the uneven back. i think att was lazy and told htc to change the keyboard and ship the phone out. lol. and the phone is so light. the tilt is a brick compared to this phone. i currently hava lg cu500 and it is bout .25" taller and not much thicker. and that is good cause you get a ful keybaord.
the keyboard= lost the upper top row of just numbers. but it has a lot of quick bottons for text and internet and such. also has a phone style number pad on the keyboard. the keys felt nice and the sliding was smooth. and the screen responded nice. though the accelerometer was not as resposive as he iphone when you moved the phone when viewing webpages. but the zoom was sick.
the camera= i didnt really take pics but the pics he toke and had on the phone was clear. he also showed me the card reader program. with this program you take a pic of a bussines card and it scans the info and make a new ocntact on your phone. it toke like 15 sec for it to scan i thought it froze but it was understandable and still amazinfg when all the info was pust in the correct name, address, etc. sections on the screen. the touch flo with pics are amazing and the screen is so nice. the phone had a led flash if i remember correct. i was so distracted by the pretty screen and touch flo i didnt take time to look much at the buttons and such on the phnone. but i temember a white/yellow thing below the camera lense.
what the phone comes with. the phone i looked at was a test phone so jow said all he got in his black unmarked box was cd, phone, usb, and charger. i know when i went to the sprint store in Hamden, CT where i live and looked at the diamond it came with that and a holtster, air buds, screen protector. i hope att add these things cause for the price i kinda expect it, and htc makes them for the unlocked phone so it should happen.
touch flo was sick. it works as adverticed. they obviously added a att store tab. the pics scrooled nice, and the music player was cool. the contact was scroolable too. i mean everything that you already know is there.
so in closing. the 1st week in november is the date to look for. not this oct 23 but im ok with being proved wrong lol. please excuse and grammer errors. the price should be $300- $400 with the rebate. its not the iphone so they are not going to make there money of volume. and if i remember correct it is a dark red color. i hope this was helpfull to someone cause i was excited when i saw it. though i played it cool. lol Thanks

That's a loooong story... Here's mine:
Bought one on eBay, had it for 3 weeks, sold for $100 more than I paid, it was fun. The end.
yes i have heard your story many times. i have been reading his site for a whole now. i was simply trying to give a full experience for those that care to read it. im sorry your attention span is limited. ill make my post shorter next time.

I don't know if he was trying to be pejorative with his reply, but I enjoyed your long post and its little details.
I'm a bit disappointed with the ATT version of this phone from all accounts. There are really two big things for me. First, the top row of keys would be far more useful had it been left alone as numbers in my opinion. I'm sure I'll get used to it if I end up buying the Fuze, but it's still a disappointment.
The second issue is really just an annoyance, which may end up being completely null in the end. It's the Diamond back, and how prone to wobbling it seems it will be. However, without a tilting screen it is unlikely I would ever really be typing on it while on flat surface anyway (in fact, I normally pick up my Tilt to type even with the tilting screen). And ever since discovering Pocket Controller Pro I'm even less likely to even touch my phone while it's on my desk. So maybe the positives of the aesthetic Diamond back actually outweigh the probably minor negatives of its functionality.

It's odd, my Fuze actually sat on a table and stayed in one position, didn't lean either way, just sat there with the way the back was. I had no problems with it. Also, I'm surprised to see you didn't like the symbols on top, most people I've spoken with (myself included) like the functionality of the symbols. Oh well, to each their own.
Which store in Milford? I used to live there but i'm in college in NYC now. At the Post mall or next to the Starbucks and stuff?
yes the one in the mall. the one by starbuks had a guy that was going for the training but as far as i know there was no test phone at that store. which is weird cause that is the bigger store.
and also i did test typing with the diamond back and it in fact did wobble when typing on a flat surface. though ur right u probably would just hold it rather than type on a flat surface.

Can you guys please tell me:
Did the phone make that shutter noise when you took a picture?
I find that noise annoying when using a camera.
thanks!

Even if it does, you can remove it.
With 3rd party software or with a feature that is built-in?
There are countries passing out laws that a camera on a phone must make that noise so people in the area know a photo is being taken. I was just wondering if AT&T Fuze was on that list.

if the phone is on silent it wont or im sure you can do a tweak or registry change anyway
all right, thanks!
A friend of mine got the nokia n82 with a 5 MP camera. The problem that he finds with it is that the camera makes that noise through the speaker when he takes a picture with it. Even when his phone is on silent or when his headphones are plugged in. I don't think he's found a tweak for it yet.
I was just wondering if it was the same with the Fuze. If anyone who has it can confirm it, it will be greatly appreciated.
when "Joe" toke the picture for the business card it did make a flash sound. though i dont know if the feature can be turned off. but like posted before im sure someone here will be able to fix that no prob.
and on a side note has anyone got any new on the android OS working on the fuze.

Woah... I was unaware of this. The ATT Fuze is dark red in color? As in, not black but dark red or is that optional?
Damn, just googled Milford, CT, and it would be an hours drive... Guess I'll have to wait until release to play with the Fuze
P.S. To the guy with the camera questions, every HTC phone that I know of has had the option to turn off the camera sound...

That's the same question I was about to ask. When you say dark red, do you mean as in the Blackjack II?
yes i do mean a dark red like the black jack II. it was ruby, dark burgundy color. i maybe mistaken cause i was blinded by the sole fact that i has the phone in my hand. lol
ill probably go look at i again this weekend or today. but i dont want to seem like that weird customer that comes in and never buys anything. i work sales and i hate that BS. lol

Well there are two reasons I would prefer the numbers. First of all, it's more like an actual computer keyboard. That would make it more comfortable and normal feeling - at least in theory. Second - and more importantly - I type numbers more often than I type symbols. Having the convenience of not needing to press the function key would be very nice.
I suppose it could go either way though. I'm definitely going to try out the keyboard before I buy, and I'll likely try out the Sprint version (or unlocked HTC version, if I can get my hands on one for a few minutes without purchasing it) also just to make sure. With a fifth row, I'm sure it's an improvement over the four rows on my Tilt no matter which configuration though, so it's not even close to a deal breaker. Just a little disappointment.
Out of curiosity, why would you prefer symbols? I really can't think of a reason why they would be better than numbers, so I'm wanting to know from someone who has that opinion.

i think most people don't mind the number PAD because you can press Fn twice to do a number lock. And since the numbers are grouped together, theoretically it's easier to type series of numbers...ie. phone number
i didn't like the fact that 5th row # was removed (they added that 5th row for THAT REASON!), but then I can see other people's point as well...oh well, i've come to accept that fact, as long as Fuze doesn't make us wait any longer
Im having this problem with my new HTC Desire S. My screen is not sitting correctly (not that you notice it that much), but it doesnt sit entirely as it should.
Also, when i choose pictures for my contacts, they start out with being sharp, but then turn sloppy, pixelated. Basicly, my contact photos go from good to bad, the 2nd time i try to call the person.
Now shouldnt i be able to switch phones, at the place where i bought it, considering the phone it self is less than 14 days old. I bought it in a scandinavian telephone/internet/broadband company called "Telia". Any scandinavian fellar out there must know what it is.
Anyways shouldnt i be able to get a new phone?

The screen not sitting properly sounds like a build issue, if it's that noticeable and annoys you, then it may be worth returning the device in an attempt to get a replacement.
I'm guessing that you store your contacts in Google contacts (in the cloud)...pictures losing detail/resolution is a known issue.
Well, about the screen, there is some space between the screen and the plastic on the left side, where it sits tight on the right. What im saying is, the screen is sitting more to the right.
About the contact issue, i guess im doing the google contact thing, but i cant say. What you described about pictures loosing detail/res is excactly what im experiencing.
So with this info you just got here, shouldnt i be able to get a replacement?
And i dont know if its just me being paranoid, but i might think that my general picture quality has fallen as well, since i got the phone.

If you can see light coming from backlight from the sides/edges/gaps in a dark room (as some users have experienced on this forum) then I'd certainly try to get a replacement, otherwise as it won't affect the phones operation you could just live with it, but it's your call...depends if its going to bug you going forward.
When you say general picture quality, if you mean screen, its probably just getting dirty and smeared with finger prints...etc...looks dull after use compared to pristine perfection out of the box when new.
My phone was ok 10 minutes ago and now it's screwed up.
Took a photo, see the weird black lines/hashes/dots?
Dude!! What you did to your screen?? Its look like being press by something ;P
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
No idea. Didn't do anything.
Downloaded some dead pixel apps, if I set the screen to black, I can still see it, its weird.
If that's the case i'd be contacting htc or tmobile and getting a replacement.. Did it just start doing this or when you got it?
Yeah this just happened today. Was fine this morning, have this phone since August.
No idea how it happened. I didn't bang it or anything.
I sent HTC an email since you can attach a photo to the support ticket, easier that way than trying to explain them what it looks like.

Hope it works out for you bud... My sd card was defect and htc had me a new one in three days... Didn't cost me anything.. I actually like HTC's customer serivce and i hope it's the same for you too. =)
it seems to be wet on the inside. some leaks inside? hehe. like radiator leaks or something?
Hello there! I have the exact problem here. I didn't do anything with my screen and somehow i still got thoes enoying dots! wtf is it? should i contact hTc for a replacement? anyhow i want to know what it is!
Thanks for helping me out br0s!
This is how it looks. Attached BELOW
As you can see some of them are black and some of them are like cyan blue. the blue pixles has been black but after awhile they changed colour. This is only like 10% of the pixels that I had before, after the gone blue they dissapear. strange....

Yeah, call HTC, they replaced my screen, I could tell cuz the bottom part of the phone wasn't closed all the way, I also got a different screen. I had the Acer screen and was replaced with the other one that's better.
Hey RizZern, just came across this thread and wanted to know if you managed to fix your screen issue.
I am facing the same issue , but i know that it appeared when i dropped my device accidentally.
I have observed that when the phone temperature goes up, the pixels become darker and then turn cyan when it cools.
Cheers,
Alan
I haven't seen any posts about this on here nor have I found anything on google with anyone having this issue, so I figured I'd post.
Basically I am experiencing this sort of blue color coming from the bottom of the screen. Namely I can only see this blue hazing when im viewing a white webpage like this one. Concluded even further that it is on the bottom because even after rotating the screen to the left it remains at the bottom part of the phone or now the right side when in portrait mode.
I was curious if anyone else had experienced this at all and if you guys think it is a worthy reason for a return. I was also wondering if I was mistaken and that this blue color was supposed to be there or occured from the pentile screen configuration. I would take a picture to try and show what I mean but I currently dont have a camera available to me. If I get a chance I will try and post one though so it will be more clear what im talking about. Sometimes this blue can be very annoying and is definitely noticable enough to bother me to the point that I felt I needed to post about it.
Also if I do want to return it for a new one I should be able to do that through Verizon still correct?
Anyway, please leave a comment if you are experiencing the same or if you have any info regarding this. I have been trying to debate whether im just seeing things or if anyone else has this on their screen. As of right now, though im highly considering returning for a new one because of it.

I've definitely seen phones where this happens and then it goes away over a couple days. Depending on how long the return period is I'd give it a day or 2. If it's still there I'd return it and get a new one.
That's supposed to be there..but it shouldn't be constant.. (is it ice cream sandwich cyan color?) it should only happen when you scroll to the end/bottom of a Page.. I had this with gingerbread also on my galaxy s2..
If this is what your talking about then don't worry its definitely normal..

I got my screen replaced a while ago because of cracks making it unusable.
Back then I never really thought much of the weird white lines on my screen but it's working me on my nerves now.
I can't go back to the place that repaired it for me because I have thrown away the receipt so I'm wondering if there's any way of fixing this problem myself?

Go back, if they gave you a reciept then they should have a record of it.
Dont just give up just like that.
