Geek Speak

Posted Thursday, July 7, 2011, at 4:08 PM

Who out there considers themselves to be a geek. I do.

I am an electronics geek. I like electronics and research them regularly, especially mobile devices.

My current mobile device, the at&t Tilt (which is actually manufactured by HTC and just branded at&t) has recently been taken off the list of available devices from at&t.

It has been replaced by the highly anticipated (at least by us mobile geeks) HTC Fuze (also known as the HTC Touch Pro).

The Fuze features a Qualcomm® MSM7201A 528 MHz processor with 512 MB of ROM and 288 MB of RAM (basically meaning that the phone will be fast and very functional).

The Fuze features a Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system with HTC's TouchFLO 3D (very finger friendly and quite nice) interface on top (Thanks to my pals at XDA Deveopers, I have been able to place a custom ROM image on my Tilt that gives me TouchFLO 2D ) .

Throw in a sliding 5-row QWERTY keyboard and a GPS chip and you have one sick device.

The Fuze also comes with Bluetooth 2.0 with enhanced data rate and A2DP for stereo wireless headsets, WiFi, and a TV Out jack, it is definitely a device for the mobile professional (or anyone who likes awesome PDAs).

Pretty Sweet!

On a side note, HTC recently unveiled the Touch Pro 2 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last month.

The Touch Pro 2 features all the glory of the Touch Pro 1, with added bonuses including a tilting Screen like at&t Tilt, a 3.6 inch TFT-LCD touch sensitive screen with 480x800 WVGA resolution, and a zoom bar.

The TP2 will also come with an upgraded Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system.

No word yet on when the TP2 will come to America, however, rumor has it that it could be available around November 2009 on at&t (fingers crossed).
