Bold or HTC Fuze?

Phil_237 · Thread Author #1 03-20-2009, 03:00 PM

First off, I'm a 'berry fan, through and through...but my girlfriend isn't sold on them. She's wanting to ditch the iPhone and get the Bold or Fuze, and asked which I'd recommend. Naturally, I say the Bold, but she says she needs to do research. So, help me out peoples! I've done a little bit of research but I was hoping a few of you had some personal experience to share about both devices (Yeah, I know this is a BB site, but we're all tech nerds at some level). Anything helps...thanks!

I would say a Bold. The fuze is less stable than the bold in my opinion. I have had them both and liked the Bold better. The fuze was slow in daily operation for me and I ended up having to have cooked roms on it to function to my liking, which led to frustration and then to selling it.

Bold by far.

Fuze is buggy and slow.

If you're really good with windows mobile you can customize the fuze a lot to make it more usable. But for the most part I found the fuze to be slow and difficult to use. The touchscreen wasn't good and the keyboard was almost too big. Stick with the Bold, its a better device.

Back in December I was eligible to upgrade so i got the fuze...worst choice ever!!!Battery is horrible,reception is horrible even with custom roms,and speaker volume sucks!!Go bold you won't regret it.

Exactly, the Bold is a solid device...

Exactly what I was thinking. How can you compare a Bold to the Fuze...

Exactly what I was thinking

The Bold should not be compared to the Fuze at all.Not even a match for the Bold.

Had an HTC slider phone.. lasted 2 days and traded for my first BB.. The pearl !

Have never gone away from BB since, and never will.

Id go with the Bold, ive had the HTC Fuze and the Touch Diamond and both are stinking piles of dog poo to be quite honest.

Slow, buggy and crashes alot the pair of them even with custom roms. Also dont forget Winmo has this annoying habit of a 3 sec ring delay ie the phone rings 3secs before you even hear the ringtone or vibration...quite simply awful in my opinion.

I had a ATT HTC Fuze serouisly I had the phone for 3 days and took it back and got the Bold had that for about a month and then moved to verizon for the Storm but the Fuze is so laggy and crashes,people think the storm is bad Its is 100z better the fuze I serouisly could type a e-mail before it sent the message bc the software lagged

what makes BB better then most other smartphones is the ease of use....you can get alot more done in a shorter period of time with less lag time ect..

a windows phone ( i own an incite too ) is more tinkering then it's worth...it's cool once in a while, but I can't seem to convert to anything else...granted there is more a following when it comes to making apps and what not for the iphone/windows...

but for an overall phone bb takes the cake...then again i'm an impatient guy lol

to answer your question Bold all the way...

the time I tried out the Fuse it was wayyyy to lax in going from one thing to the next
