Targeting mobile professional users, AT&T rolled out the HTC Fuze, essentially the HTC Touch Pro with a few slight differences:

• Radio – both support basic EDGE connectivity, but for 3G:
o HTC Touch Pro uses HSDPA/WCDMA
o HTC Fuze uses UMTS/HSDPA

This simple difference means that, unlike TouchPro users, Fuze users can connect from nearly anywhere on the planet.

Also unlike the Touch Pro, the HTC Fuze lacks a TV out socket.

Just like the HTC Touch Pro, however, the HTC Fuze does include:

• slide-out QWERTY keyboard
• 3.2 megapixel digital camera
• GPS
• WiFi
• Streaming XM satelite radio

The HTC Fuze hits stores on December 1 but eager buyers can purcahse the device by telephone as early as November 24. Regardless of the purcahse date or method, the device will cost:

• $500 with NO contract
• $350 with a 2-year AT&T contract (the device is also supported by Sprint)
• $300 with a mail-in rebate
