T-Mobile G1 vs AT&T Fuze (HTC Touch Pro)

[bjb_nyj101]

No, HTC isn't a new player in smartphone biz. Look at their long list of devices. Their products is sold under carriers' brand name. Maybe you don't know this because you are new to the biz.
All major carriers carry at least one HTC smartphone for a couple years now.
If you want to compare HTC and BlackBerry, compare the Bold to t-mobile Dash (aka HTC Excalibur) and G1 to Storm.
Battery on Storm sucks as well, I know because we ordered one at work.
Long battery life = stay away from big touchscreen.

Okay...calm down. If you were taught how to read, you would see that I wrote ' HTC isn't new to this business '. But I guess you were anxious to write up some feverish response which was supposed to prove what I said to be wrong...

You may have 'ordered one in the office ', but one of my friends has one. And he can get through a day of texting and 3G web browsing, and have anywhere from 25~40% battery life left. Me, on the other hand (and apparently hundreds of others) can barely limp past the 10 hour mark on 3G without the battery dying. Many have complained of getting less than ten hours.

Just trying to prove your point is wrong. j/k

Dude, if you want 2 days battery life and can't carry an extra battery or charger, the solution is simple, sell the G1 and buy the Bold.
Ask your friend, he wouldn't spend 2 hours surfing the web on his Bold. It's pain in the @$$.
I don't need 10 hours battery life. I have a charger at work, one in my car and one at home. I'm getting another battery from t-mobile. Well, problem resolved.

You have to remember to make sure all the features and services are included when you compare services. T-Mobile doesn't give you unlimited mobile to mobile standard like AT&T does, they also have rollover, larger service area and more subscribers (for M2M use).

I believe I included everything with this comparison.

T-Mobile

• 1000 whenever minutes w/ unlimited night and weekends - $49.99
• Unlimited mobile to mobile - $6.99
• Unlimited data and messaging - $34.99

This would come out to around $91.97/month excluding tax and fees

AT&T

• 900 Anytime minutes w/ unlimited nights and weekends, mobile to mobile and rollover - $59.99
• Unlimited date - $30.00
• Unlimited messaging - $20.00

This would come to about $109.99/month excluding tax and fees.

So excluding tax, fees, and additional features/services, with AT&T you are going to be paying $216.24 more for 1200 less minutes. However, there are more subscribers for AT&T meaning you are more likely to use M2M minutes, as well as getting the minutes you don't use rolled over which could potentially prevent very expensive overage charges.

Personally, I haven't had any major problems with AT&T and I've had them for 3 years now. They have given me free upgrades in the middle of my contract, taken off charges whenever I disputed them, even waived a $450 warranty replace fee for a phone that was out of warranty by damage. However, not everyone has the same experiences, it's just how the ball rolls.
