In comparing the Fuze to the Pro, I've come to the following conclusions:
1) TF3D on Fuze doesn't look good at all with the white background. Hacking this to look like the Sprint Pro doesn't look easy, nor do I have the patience to figure it out.
2.) The Fuze has a much more solid feel to it. The sliding portion of the keyboard is much more solid.
3.) Even though the Fuze is slightly smaller, it lacks the perimeter chrome framing going around the screen. Because of this, I actually think the Sprint Pro looks better.
4.) Tons of bloatware on the Fuze, most of which points you to a place to give them more money. Sprint includes a lot more for your money.
5.) Fuze didn't include an SD card, case, nor headset. The charger isn't even a travel charger (prongs don't fold in), and feels both bulkier and cheaper than the one included with the Pro. In fact the Pro included a sleek shiny black charger that matches the overall style of the Pro. Where as the Fuze charger looks like any other generic charger. Maybe this explains the $100.00 difference in the 2 devices.
6.) Sprint has a much better back IMHO. The Fuze is shiny black and attracts finger prints something terrible. The design is pretty cool, but the color ruins it. A rubberized black, similar to the 1st gen Touch would have been a better choice. Having said that, the Sprint backing makes a creeking noise when the sliding keyboard is out and in use. The Fuze does not do this.
7.) I like the feel of the Fuze keyboard more than the Pro. Because the Fuze lacks the dedicated # keys, the other keys are larger and easier to press. I would love to take the keyboard off of the Fuze and attach it to the Pro.
8.) The screen on the Pro is ALOT brighter than the Fuze. If you put them side by side you will be astounded by the difference. The Pro looks so much nicer! Perhaps this is at the cost of battery life, which might explain why the Fuze seemed to last longer on a charge than the Pro.
