In fact, you really have to put some effort into reaching the standard Microsoft interface. TouchFLO 3D is now very responsive and smooth (banishing those "this ain't no iPhone" thoughts), it's faster (you'd think they'd switched to a faster CPU, but the improvements are all software), the 3.6" display is appropriate to the UI elements so very few things are too small for fingers, the QWERTY keyboard is top notch and HTC has gone even deeper compared to the original Touch Pro ( Fuze), Diamond and Touch HD to replace the standard Windows Mobile UI. Less than a year later, HTC has taken the promise of the first gen Touch Pro and polished it into a real gem. The phone was very attractive but the diamond-faceted back attracted fingerprint grease after even the shortest of fondlings ( Sprint's version omitted the signature gloss diamond back and Verizon's was shiny, fingerprint-loving black but not faceted). The touch screen was more finger friendly than regular Windows Mobile Professional phones, but it was too small at 2.8" for its VGA resolution and Windows Mobile UI elements. The TouchFLO 3D interface was beautiful and intuitive but sometimes sluggish (or not enabled by default on Verizon's version of the Touch Pro). The HTC Touch Pro / AT&T Fuze, depending on your carrier's naming convention, was a mixed bag. 2009: Read our review of the Touch Pro2 for T-Mobile US. 2009: Read our review of the Touch Pro2 for Sprint. 2009: Read our review of the Touch Pro2 for Verizon. 2009: Read our review of the HTC Tilt 2 for AT&T (Touch Pro2) What's not: No US 3G on this unlocked GSM version. What's hot: 3rd iteration of TouchFLO 3D really remakes WinMo, large display and keyboard.
