The full specs of AT&T’s version of the HTC Touch Pro has shown up on the HTC WIKI, HTC’s semi-official user support outlet. Along with the Sprint Touch Diamond and the Sprint Touch Pro, the Fuze on AT&T represents the latest generation of Windows Mobile smartphones. It’s a mix of a few things: A slick, modern UI in TouchFlo 3D, a screen that finally gets beyond QVGA with 640×480 resolution, a smaller, compact size, more capacious memory, a default browser that isn’t flat-out embarrassing, and a processor that able to keep up with it all. While all of these increases can fairly be called evolutionary instead of revolutionary, they do add up to a qualitative change.
Read the full specs below after the break.
Processor: Qualcomm MSM7201A, 528MHz. The MSM7201A has become the go-to processor for many of the latest Windows Mobile devices (especially those made by HTC). While there have been questions of “GPS Lag” with the chipset, overall it’s a very powerful and very snappy proc. I find that it has a decent good mix of power and battery life (especially on the Treo Pro), and the Fuze is no exception (more on the battery life below).
Memory: ROM: 512MB, RAM 288MB (corrected!).
Without TouchFlo 3D: Total 200.99, In use: 60.52, Free: 140.47
With TouchFlo 3D: Total 200.99, In use: 71.52, Free 129.45
In other words, although TouchFlo 3D takes up quite a lot of RAM, the fact that the Fuze has a large amount of RAM set aside for Program Memory really helps mitigate that.
Display: 640×480 resolution, 2.8“, flush touchscreen. The display on the Fuze is great. It makes all other Windows Mobile devices with QVGA or even 320×320 resolution feel cramped and small by comparison. The screen is bright, the colors vivid, and the dpi is pretty much off the charts. Windows Mobile was meant to be viewed at this resolution (or higher!).
Radios: GSM/EDGE: 850, 900, 1800, 1900. HSPA/UMTS/3G: 850, 1900, 2100. You’ll get your 3G on in the US just fine. The Fuze also features Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, and WiFi 802.11b and g.
GPS: The Fuze features full A-GPS, meaning it can get extra information from AT&T’s cell towers for a faster fix on satellite locations — this in addition to the standard GPS location app found on many Windows Mobile devices.
