AT&T Fuze hitting shelves November 11th for $299
Looks like the Fuze may be hitting sooner than initially anticipated. An anonymous tipster just dropped some official AT&T documents on us that show the Fuze dropping on November 11th. Start saving your dough now as the Fuze will be a bit pricey according to Big Blue’s recommended pricing:
- No Commitment : $499.99
- 1 Year Contract w/o $50 MIR : $424.99
- 1 Year Contract w/ $50 MIR : $374.99
- 2 Year Contract w/o $50 MIR : $349.99
This looks pretty official so were gonna give it a thumbs up. Now we just have to wait for AT&T to officially confirm it. Hit the jump for all the Fuze and Fuze accessory info you can handle.
no fuze at bby mobile as of earlier this week.
Verizon is going to charge $30 data plan on all smartphones come nov. 14

this is awesome ’cause the IT dept at my work only supports the TILT the Motorola Q so hopefully I can get the FUZE instead!
i dont see in the specs that it supports the video out is there a web site somewhere what confirmes the htc fuse will infact support the video out like the touch pro does?
Had the Fuze in my hand yesterday. WOW… Is as heavy as the Tilt, smaller keyborad, looks are unreal. same size screen, diamond style back, keyboard opened with fast motion and solid build. I had a open line on my account and I got the Blackberry Bold yesterday, going back today. Not impressed at all with the BB. The screen is Flawless but that’s about it for me. guess maybe I’m just love my Tilt and or WM. I’ll be getting the Fuze on Tuesday when it arrives, I was sorta LOL assured of that date by my local ATT store I deal with in Millsboro, DE, US. The Fuze is so elegant in style it’s truly going to be the Hit of ATT’s new phone line. The Epix is nice as well is you want a Bar phone, but I don’t think anything will come close to the Fuze.
Have a great weekend and for all of us waiting, it’s almost over.
Happy Holliday season that’s upon us.
Was on the phone with the AT&T representative at the local AT&T wireless corporate store. They do have a HTC Fuze dummy for me to look at, if I want to. However, they told me, that the release date has been pushed back to Nov 24th.
I did send this message to BGR, so I hope they will check into the same. Hope the representative was wrong!
Accelerometer: yes or no?
It’s going to be tough to launch the Fuze since AT&T is still a pretty strong connection to the iPhone.
Their top current Evri connections (like iPhone & Blackberry) show that it’s going to be pretty difficult to strike out on their own IMO. Check it out here – http://www.evri.com/organization/at%26t-0×49381.html
I just got back form a local AT&T store and one of the reps there actually had the Fuze. He said he’d been carrying it for about a month and he didn’t like it. He said that the keyboard was too small and it really felt like a brick. It did not appear to have an accelerometer and looked as if the screen orientation changes as the keyboard is slid out. Just like the Tilt.
He really didn’t go into much detail, but said that he was glad that he wouldn’t have it much longer.
Is the $500 version going to be locked to At&t or can i use it on my tmobile network?
Yep. The Fuze has an accelerometer. Here’s a demo that includes it:

sooooo it’s def a toss up between this and the eternity when it comes out.
I really like the keyboard on this. With that fifth row att really took advantage of tossing up very frequently used punctuations so you (the power user/business professional) don’t have to constantly hit the Fn button to type a ( or a ?
purtee cool if you ask me.
It is confirmed that the release is on the 11th. My local At&T dealer is recieving the phones on Monday along with another stock of BB Bolds.
I really like this phone, but can anyone confirm if The Omnia is coming to ATT. There were articles about it being filed with the FCC. I’ve waited this long, so I would like to get the Omnia instead. If not, then I’ll be hacking my Fuze by next weekend.
i held the fake “demo” fuze at my local store yesterday. the rep wasn’t sure if it’d really arrive on the 11th, but seemed hopeful. not sure if i like the re-arranged keyboard layout. will have to try it out on a live unit.
overall the device looks good.
wonder if it’ll get a WM6.5 upgrade next year…
I don’t have a website for it, but the internal AT&T literature on the Fuze that was leaked made clear that TV out is supported.
