Better known as the HTC Touch Pro, AT&T Inc. and HTC Corp. today announced the availability of the new HTC FUZE which provides users with a familiar QWERTY keyboard paired with HTC's intuitive, graphic-rich TouchFLO 3D touch-screen user interface for easy one-touch access to a range of fun and powerful features.
Powered by AT&T's 3G network and Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, the HTC FUZE is a compact yet powerful communications tool with a smooth gloss black finish and a distinctive and unique faceted backplate. The HTC FUZE features a sharp, 2.8" VGA touch screen for touch-sensitive navigation control, complete with three-dimensional animated transitions.

For E-Mail, messaging and other data input, the HTC FUZE also comes equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard, which was designed specifically for AT&T and slides out from the smartphone's side.
A useful "zoom in, zoom out" feature makes it especially fun and easy to access the Web via the included Opera browser, which provides for desktop-like Web page renderings and user interactions.

Beyond AT&T's robust 3G network, the HTC FUZE provides AT&T customers with a host of other connectivity options. When abroad, AT&T customers can use the HTC FUZE to make or receive a phone call in more than 200 countries and check E-Mail, browse the Web or perform other data functions in more than 150 countries, including in more than 60 - such as Japan and South Korea - that have deployed 3G networks. In addition, the HTC FUZE boasts:

• Built-in aGPS - for use with AT&T Navigator powered by TeleNav and other location-based applications such as TeleNav Track and Xora GPS TimeTrack.
• Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) - to connect with home or campus networks or access more than 17,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots nationwide, including at thousands of participating Starbucks locations.
• Bluetooth 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) - for simultaneous connection of up to six Bluetooth-enabled devices, including hands-free headsets, stereo headsets, car kits, network printers and other Bluetooth peripherals.
• AT&T Video Share - the first service in the U.S. that allows users to share live video over wireless devices while participating in a voice call.
• Push To Talk (PTT) - via the nation's largest PTT network.

The HTC FUZE is available now for US$ 299.99 with a two-year contract, mail-in rebate, and voice and data plans at AT&T retail stores nationwide, online, at select national retailers and through AT&T's enterprise and small business sales organizations.
