Dago Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 looking to buy a new phone and these are the two i am looking atthe xda exec is about $300 with no contractthe Fuze is about $350 with a contractthe Fuze has better specs, but it seems to be mostly due to a lot more onboard memory which may not mean that much with external media cards. Their processors seem to be comparable. The exec has a much larger screen which would make it better for using with applications and a media playerhttp://www.htc.com/us/product/htcfuze/specification.htmlhttp://www.gsmarena.com/o2_xda_exec-1279.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEORGIAfan Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 from what i heard fuze is a crap phone. crippled by windows mobile. kind of a phone techie. used to be a bigger one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dago Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 honestly i am surprised that the xda exec which is two years old has a processor that is just as fast as the Fuze. unfortunately, both have Windows Mobile on them tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dago Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 thanks.one of my hesitations on the xda exec is that it has been out for awhile so you would figure the new phones would be better, but that just doesnt seem to be the case other than the onboard memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcsfan55 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 i dont know a lot about either of them but I have a friend who has a fuze and he loves it. If you are willing to spend that much why not just get a iphone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are willing to spend that much why not just get a iphone?i just prefer a hardware qwerty keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLBrave Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 If you can get past the qwerty keyboard, iPhone is probably your best bet. With the landscape feature being added to pretty much every application (giving the keyboard on-screen a much wider look, and making it inherently easier to use), it pretty comparable.
