4 out of 5 stars Useful, powerful and a little sluggish...   January 7, 2009
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The phone is excellent for mobile web browsing, typing text messages and actually doing real work. The touch screen and scroll wheel aren't just nifty tech toys, they really work well to streamline interactions. The preloaded programs are excellent and the TouchFlo 3D system is like having an iPhone without actually having an iPhone. They took some time to make the animated graphics fun (such as the weather forecast).

What I like about it:
-Full keyboard is easy to use with helpful shortcut keys for WiFi, SMS, and music
-Touch screen is very handy and magnetic stylus is a great second option.
-Phone quality is good, no static or echoes.
-Text messaging includes a history so you can follow the conversation.
-All the great Windows Mobile features are on the phone (calendar, mail, instant messaging with AIM, Yahoo, etc. Excel, Powerpoint, Word are included.
-The camera takes good pictures with lots of editing features and a flashlight for low light pictures.
-The top portion of the home screen allows you to check battery status, data connection settings, programs running, available memory and other useful information quickly (like a task manager in Windows).

Things I don't like:
-The battery will wear out quickly with long internet browsing usage.
-The alarm clock notification isn't as easy to shut off as the old Cingular 3125 (also an HTC phone). In fact most notifications are a little annoying.
-The phone is heavy, but not ridiculously large. It feels solid.
-The touch screen is sometimes less responsive than expected but I believe that is more because the phone is sometimes sluggish in operation.
-The case is shiny and smudges easy. Ditto for the touch screen.

All said, the phone is working great. It's an excellent smart phone with great usability, excellent functionality in a great package.


1 out of 5 stars NO returns when you buy from amazon!   January 5, 2009
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Beware when you order this phone from amazon.com Because if you dont like it you wont be able to return it after its shipped! I bought this phone and then found it cheaper (FREE after rebate) with another retailer. I called to find out if they price match (nope) I found out that if you phone ships from amazon you can't return it. AT&T has 30 day return policy but that only applies to items ordered from them. READ ALL the fine print before you buy!I will not buy anything from amazon.com in the future because of this phone order!


1 out of 5 stars AT&T Warranty SUCKS and HTC phones DON'T last a year !!!   January 2, 2009
 1 out of 4 found this review helpful

Why buy these $500+tax phones new and get stuck with a 2-yr contract when the phone doesn't last even a year?
It's almost like BAIT & SWITCH by AT&T. They stop "carrying" the particular expensive phone in less than a year so when the phone dies in a few months AT&T won't have to exchange it with a new one for you... but they got your contract for 2 years... with a cheaper phone in exchange. Before wasting your money on a new expensive AT&T smartphone, ask yourself if you're ok with having to warranty exchange your new phone with a USED refurbished one in less than a year.


1 out of 5 stars Horrible expensive phone   December 28, 2008
 1 out of 5 found this review helpful

I bought this phone but returned it, its a horrible mix of a phone. Half the time its touch screen (not captive touchscreen like the iphone) you have to press hard and it lags , half the time its opening up the wrong thing or calling the wrong person, the phone screen is tiny, and you have to press hard

It comes with a stylus, windows mobile is terrible for this phone , half the time you can touch the screen the other half you need the stylus.

Worst of all is web browsing , the wifi has to be put on max to keep from losing connection, even only a few feet away. Browsing is terrible you can't touch the screen to click in text fields, half the time the stylus touches aren't recognized. Its horrible!

The g1 interface is far better, even if android were on the phone it still wouldn't be a good phone


1 out of 5 stars Am I the only one?   December 27, 2008
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

This phone has two MAJOR design flaws that are causing me to return it today.

1. The first flaw is that all calls from landline phones go straight to my voicemail. I spent over an hour on the phone with customer service trying to figure this out to no avail. Towards the end of the call I swapped my SIM (I was calling them from a landline) from the HTC Fuze to a LG vu that a buddy at work has. After doing that all calls from landlines came through. VERY strange.

2. The second major design flaw, and the ultimate deal breaker, is the screen locking feature. The screen lock works perfectly, UNTIL you receive a call. Then the screen unlocks so that you can click on answer or ignore. So when the phone is in the holster or my pocket, it automatically answers or ignores the call 9 out of 10 times. I missed so many calls before figuring out what was going on. Also, even though the screen is locked the volume buttons still work. That led me to accidentally muting my phone several times while placing the phone into the holster. It's not a very large phone (it is thick though) so there is not much free real estate, which easily leads to your finger hitting the volume down button.

I have looked all over the internet, but I have not found anybody who is having the same problems as me. The first problem could be linked to just my phone. However, the second problem is a design flaw that all phones would have.

Excluding those two flaws, THE PHONE IS AWESOME!! However, it is a phone first and a PDA second. That said, as a phone it only gets one star. What good is a phone that you have to carry in order to make sure that you don't miss any calls????
