HTC Fuze – Good QWERTY keyboard

HTC Fuze has a 2.8 inches touch screen just like the HTC Touch Pro and it supports a resolution of 640×480 pixels with support for 262k colors. Text and images looked sharper and also more vibrant on the VGA screen as compared to the Tilt's display. You also get HTC TouchFLO 3D interface which HTC is now putting in a lot of their products. On the bottom, there is a toobar through which you can scroll from right to left to see all the applications that the phone has. A single touch to these icons will open up the application. I really liked this animated 3D effect, you can scroll through the messages and files by just moving your finger or thumb in up or down direction. The Home screen of the HTC Fuze phone is quite similar to that of Sprint's HTC Fuze but it now has AT&T services. The Today screen can be personalized with different background images and themes.

HTC Fuze comes with built in accelerometer which automatically changes the view of the screen when the phone is rotated. For instance, when the device is turned from a vertical to horizontal position, the display too changes from portrait to the landscape mode. This saves you some time as you don't need to go through the menus to do this manually. My only complaint here is that the screen transition could have been faster.

For giving the business users with best functionality and tools, there is a full QWERTY slide out keyboard on the HTC Fuze phone. This will take care of all your messaging needs. The feed and layout is different as compared to that of the Sprint Touch Pro. The button size is retained but the keyboard is now slicker looking and the number row on the top has been replaced by a row for symbols. The numbers share button space with letter keys on the right side and they are highlighted in blue color. The last row has shortcuts for all popular applications like Web, e-mail, calendar, etc. They layout has been changed but I didn't have any problems while typing long messages and overall, the keyboard is pretty satisfactory.

Controls on HTC Fuze include standard navigation array underneath the display which includes directional keypad with OK button in the middle, back button, Home shortcut, Talk and End buttons. The directional pad is touch sensitive and you can use the thumb in certain apps like Web browser for zooming in and out of your pages.(Source)
