AT&T Fuze sparks Windows Mobile
If you're ready for a Windows Mobile smartphone with a large, VGA (480 by 640 pixels) display, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and quad-band radios for worldwide use, the Fuze is an excellent option.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

But... Windows Mobile is highly undependable
In fact, the downside of this phone, and its variously-branded cousins, is Windows Mobile. The great, untold secret is that it is unstable, unresponsive, and i suspect, when burdened with the touch-flo interface, likely to crash continuously.I have had a Sprint Mogul (HTC 6800) for a year, and like the hardware very much. But Windows mobile is completely unreliable. I never know if the phone will wake when i need it, responsiveness when switching apps can be very slow, and often i have to reboot -- several times -- to get the darn thing to wake up.
And this is after updating Windows Mobile 4 times in one year -- including to the no-better 6.1 version.
And did i mention that ActiveSync, MS's brain-dead synchronization software, is a major pain in the butt?
Why don't your reviewers call it like it is? Windows Mobile is a deficient OS and not at all ready for prime time. I won't touch Windows Mobile again. But, that iPhone sure is looking good!
Iphone Sux
The fact is Iphone doesn't have bluetooth stereo, video recording, cut and paste, etc.Then you now have the Touch Pro/Att Fuze devices that have 640X480 resolution, compared to the 480x320 pixels on the Iphone. Where does that make a difference, try web surfing and remote desktop. Also check out Youtube for the amazing things you can do with the TV out.
Windows mobile has the best third party apps out there and is more open. 'Dear Leader' Steve Jobs is very secretive and is all about holding back tech just to make a buck. That's the reason he won't have his devices support A2DP, because he wants to sell separate dongles.
