I'm not really sure there will be much of a competition between the Fuze & the Pro. The specs on the Fuze are on HTC's Wiki & are pretty much identical to the Pro. As you already stated, the main difference is in the keyboards. The other difference is that the Fuze is *slightly* smaller at 4.02 x 2.01 x .71 in. Most likely due to the difference in the internal radio's. The other difference is that the Fuze will have Push to Talk, so if that's essential to you, the discussion ends there.

Edit: One notable difference is in advertised talk time. The Fuze specs advertise 8 hours of talk time, while the Sprint Pro advertises 4. If there's any truth to that, I could see that being a major reason to pick the Fuze.

Good points, 8.
Not to sure about the battery life however, from several weeks now of use - it really depends on which radios are on and what your running app wise.

One thing to be for-sure, to save on Battery life - the screen must time out to black or device off other wise... I'm only seeing about 6hrs - 8hrs tops.

Quick Question for you and Marc:

Is it possible to make this thread a sticky - please

Thanks

One thing I noticed about the Fuze was that it does not have a dedicated number row of keys like Sprint's version does. Instead, its like the Mogul where you have to use the Fn key to enter numbers and the top row is instead dedicated to the special symbols/characters. Personally, I prefer the dedicated number row as I use numbers far more than symbols/special characters. Also noticed that the Fuze has an added PTT button (which cannot currently be remapped but I'm sure someone will post a registry hack for that soon enough).

I got to play with a Verizon Pro today and am said to report that they crippled it quite a bit. It uses a Qualcomm 7500 Processor & has 192 Mb of RAM. It was not as responsive to finger swipes/presses and really lagged in rotating the screen when you opened the keyboard.

It is also taller and very square.

The TF3D is a horrible shade of grey with red highlighted icons.

Know nothing of the VZW variant so I can't vote for them.
I think Sprint was stupid to change the case design (honestly I hate the gray/silver rounded back).
The best thing going for the AT&T variant is that they kept the original design.

I'd vote for the Touch Pro on HTC's website if it was an option.
