Video looks great Jason. I am using Firefox 3.0.4 and installed the latest version of Flash. When I click on the play button in the center of the video embedded in your post, the video starts playing.

Random Thoughts:
I wish my Fuze had that rubberized back. Guess I will have to do a search to see if I can just order that back. The HTC website is not the greatest when it comes to listing accessories (I couldn't find any, just the phone models). I was looking for a cradle and found that Expansys has HTC branded ones but I could not find them on the HTC site itself.
I like the fact that Sprite backup is included. On the ATT Fuze, it was already installed as an app, no CD came in the box.
The Touch Flo 3D takes a bit of getting used to. I find myself launching apps accidently, when I just mean to glide over them. I have not searched much yet, but I don't see many ways to customize the "Today" screen when "Touch Flo 3D" is selected as an item to appear on the Today screen. I also thought there would be a capability to "tweak" the TF3D settings for sensitivity. If they are there, I haven't found them.
The GPS seems to take longer to acquire a fix than my BJII. I use it with 3 programs: Google Maps, MS Live Search and DeLorme's Streets Atlas USA 2009 for handheld use. (Not a huge fan of SA2009, going to try OnCourseNavigation 8 soon I think).
I also need to see if the YouTube client is available. EDIT: It IS there, under /Windows You just have to move it to your start menu (or create a short cut there)
Everyday I am finding out new features of this device, for instance: When the stylus is pulled out after a call is connected, Notes automatically opens up (if you have selected that option under "Phone Settings".
Don't really see a way to customize/create your own profiles (I used to have one for home, office, car, nighttime etc).
The weather feature (on the Fuze at least) is nice, but I wish it had the ability for the user to enter zip codes.
HATE the PTT button on the side of the Fuze. I hit it at least 5 times a day. Thankfully you get a message asking if you really want to continue, as charges will incur. I know it can be remapped, but this is not easily done and requires a good bit of reg editing. I don't want to do that just yet to a brand new phone.
When the device is placed on a flat surface, when you hit the screen or try to press one of the buttons on the bottom (place/end call etc), the device rocks due to the funky angular patterns on the back (reminds me of a stealth fighter)
I hate the bloatware the is included from AT&T. Wish there was an easy way to remove it. (Again, reg edits should do this, and I will probably go down that path, just not yet).
Still getting used to the version of Opera that comes with the device. There is a forum that I regularly visit that I can't get to using PIE or Opera. I get told "You must have Javascript enabled to view this forum". On my BJII, I couldn't view the forum with PIE either, but the version of Opera I downloaded let me access the site.
Sure there is more to come as I get a chance to play with it during my Thanksgiving week off

I don't use my devices for business, and I wouldn't call myself a power user. I'm just a techie who likes toys.

HTC Fuze (ATT branded Touch Pro)
