Hmmm... I can see the first hacks coming:



Unable to tether device to a PC.

Unable to use the device as a wireless modem; when trying to connect, the user gets “Remote Party has ended the connection”

An AT&T Laptop Connect plan is required in order to use the device as a wireless modem.

--------------------------------------------


MP3 or similar audio file is not available in the drop down list under Sounds & Notifications.

The audio file has been loaded on the device but is not available for selection under Sounds & Notifications.

The Fuze has a file size limit for ringtones as specified by AT&T; the limit is 600k. Any audio file larger than that will not be available for selection under Sounds & Notifications.

I thought it was posted on the Mobility site for a release date of the 23rd. However that was pure rumor & speculation. I looked today & nothing. It seems like AT&T would release something to replace the Tilt soon.

Well, if you are watching those threads, you probably know just about all there is to know. The best guess is that the official release will be next Tuesday, November 4 (election day). There has certainly been official internal AT&T communication to that effect (although, as always, "subject to change"). The volume of reports of sightings and stores willing to admit to its existence (and a few even willing to commit to selling them that day) has greatly increased over the last week or so, which is pretty good support for the November 4 date still being valid, but only time will tell.

If not on the 4th I'll bet it will be out before Thanksgiving.

I'm sure nearly everyone has seen the leaked documents over on Boy Genius Report, confirming that the release is scheduled for Nov. 11. That seems to be pretty firm information at this point. I'm certainly planning to start bugging my local stores on Monday to see if they've gotten their shipments yet and will have stock available on Tuesday!

Yeah, it's certainly true that we've seen leaked documents before that gave dates that came and went, but this one is unique in several respects:

1) It was released less than a week before the named target date.

2) It's much more detailed. The earlier leaks were just a name and a date. This has detailed specifications, competitive analysis, sales-person talking points, etc.

3) Many/most stores have now received their display dummies of the phone.

4) As you said, it's now on the (clearly official) rebate sheet.

5) There are lots of anecdotal reports of stores that actually know about the phone, and most of them give the November 11 date when asked about the release schedule.

I took the earlier dates with a grain or several of salt, but I think this one's the real deal.

It's for real now

There are at least a couple of people (one in Indiana, another in Florida) who actually bought Fuzes from AT&T Authorized Retailers last night (Friday). I haven't found any store in my area that will admit to having inventory or having them available on Tuesday, but I'm very hopeful! :approve:

Well, this document seems conclusive that it's tomorrow. And given the fact that some stores are already selling it, I don't have any reason to doubt it.
