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 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. sooooo it’s def a toss up between this and the eternity when it comes out.

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. I just got back form a local AT&T store and one of the reps there actually had the Fuze.

Their top current Evri connections (like iPhone & Blackberry) show that it's going to be pretty difficult to strike out on their own IMO.

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. Had the Fuze in my hand yesterday.

It's essentially sending the video over the air to the recipient instead of capturing it to memory. It's not video conferencing, which would use the front-facing camera. AT&T doesn't support that, so its version of the hardware doesn't have that camera. @Matt: Video Share Calling is one-way and uses the camera on the back.
