fuze-vs-treopro

WMExpert’s George pits these two awesome phones up against each other. Having used both of these myself, I can relate. His final opinion is slightly off from mine, but every person uses their devices a little different.

If this was a horse race, I’d have to judge the photo finish as having the Fuze winning “by a hair” or maybe even “too close to call”. Both the Fuze and Pro have common features that will appeal to every WM user as well as unique features that focus on the user’s individual needs. The truth of the matter may very well be that it simply boils down to your personal tastes and I don’t think you can go wrong with either the AT&T Fuze or the Palm Treo Pro.

I agree 99%… The by a hair is right on, but I am leaning towards the Treo Pro. Well, not really leaning, I’ve already made that choice. Right now I am using the Treo Pro, but still carrying the Fuze testing some things when I have time.

  • I looked into the Treo Pro... but if you're going for that type of style... then hit up the Samsung Epix. The phones are roughly the same size (Epix = boxier; Treo Pro curved).

    Both sport a 320x320 screen res, similar sized screen, same amount of Ram/Rom... BUT the Epix has a 624mhz processor.

    Coming from a Blackjack I really liked the Epix. The Optical mouse is a godsend for using the phone one handed and web surfing.

    The flaw is the Optical Dpad doesn't allow scrolling (Press and hold). While not a problem in the OS, it does limit playing games.

    The Optical mouse does allow for GREAT speeds navigating the phone's software. I found myself using the optical sensor's mouse function with one hand while using the other hand for TouchFlo (FTouchSL) finger scrolling and screen taps.

    Everything could have been perfect if they designed a "ring-like" d-pad AROUND the optical sensor where as to offer the best from both worlds.

    I have a Epix Compilation thread here in the Samsung Thread over at Howard Forums.

    Must Haves for Epix:
    FTouchSL - TouchFlo like finger scrolling with gestures
    VolFix - Remaps Volume keys to Up/Down behavior
    chgFingerMouse - Map to a hard key to change Mouse/Dpad functions
