most likely the worst phone I've ever owned

Although I hate to judge an entire company based on the merits of a hapless device like the fuze, however....
They're build quality and ergonomics are simply poor.  Deathly slow response time, touchjoke UI needed tons of work, awkward phone design, and more.

I used all kinds of cooked roms, ect with no avail.  I just don't see what the love-affair is with HTC products.  I think they are poorly designed, under-engineered, overly-priced, and way too overhyped by gadget blogs.  Perhaps they've improved, but even the handsets released currently are poor quality plastic nightmares.  I do like the SENSE UI, which I think is a step in the right direction.   

Pros

Keyboard is amazing in my opinion
good battery life

Cons

no 3.5mm
awkward design
flimsy slideout qwerty
cheap plastics
very very slow and frustrating UI, processor, software
resistive screen
tiny screen
over-priced

Great Phone

I couldn't believe all the negative reviews on this phone.  I have had the phone for about 8 months and have not had any problems.  I had the Tilt before this and this is a better phone.  I have had ZERO problems with this phone.  Everything works, no issues at all.  Battery life is not the greatest but it is not the worst either.  I would call it average.  Plan on recharging nightly if you use the phone regularly during the day. The keyboard is excellent.  The camera is good, but agree the shutter lag is annoying, but then again, I did not buy the phone to take pictures, I have a real camera for taking pictures, but in a pinch, the camera on the phone works fine.  If you want a solid, decent, WinMo 6.1 phone, this is a great one. 

Pros

WinMo 6.1
Keyboard
Great Design
Screen

Cons

Battery performance good be a bit better

great phone, but everything has its downsides

I've been using this phone for about a year now and I have to say I've come to love it, some of its small ticks where annoying at first but within about a week there was a rom update that fixed about 60% of my issues with the phone. Before the update I noticed that sliding the phone caused certain apps to act funny. After words it really only has an affect on the mobile browser iris and sometimes spb mobile shell 3. Regaurdless of its slight faults I've found that I can pretty much do anything I need to on the phone, its just a matter of knowing where to look, and actually following through and trying to use it. This phone is no iphone though, I had an iphone 3g and comparing them I'd say I do prefer the fuze but the iphone was easier and had a lot more fun apps. If you're looking for a detailed data processing phone and something to be used as an omni tool the fuze will function to your expectations if you're patient with it. The problem with ALL DATA PHONES is no one is willing to really sit down and use it. You can customize most any data phone with enough time its just a matter of doing so. I work with phones all day the trick is check for updates and just see if there are similar problems. All in all the fuze is a great phone but so are most data phones, rim, htc, apple, palm, samsung, nokia... they all make great phones its just a question of researching them before you buy them to see if they meet your needs. Hope this helps a bit.

Pros

the phone has a lot of raw power
its loaded with features
the flash is very handy,
touch screen is pretty acurate and responsive.
Touch Flo 3d is very easy to use.
keyboard is very big and easy to use
screen is crystal clear

Cons

the buttons on the front share one pannel and are hard to use do to that sometimes.
The touchscreen keyboard that is projected is rather small in full qwerty mode
the housing is incredably strong but causes a slight lack of reception sometimes I've noticed
