AT&T Fuze, some 4 months in, and - in most ways - still find it a wonderful PPC and a reasonable compromise for a PPC / Mobile Phone combo device.

By itself, or with the Innocase snapped on, it is pleasingly slim. With the Capdase leather bi-fold wrapped around the Innocase (top shell only) it is rather chunky - although not at all UNpleasant to hold, either for PDA usage or phone calls. (MUCH prefer using bluetooth headset to holding Fuze up to ear!)

For personal comfort, the WIDTH of a device is more important than any Reasonable Depth, thus the Fuze "fits" better than a wide-body PPC/Phone combo. But the Compromise, of course, is that the Screen is therefore smaller.

For READING, the Fuze screen is Wonderful - even with my Progressive Lenses - but for on-screen data entry there is no substitute for vast quantities of real estate. Am able to use FITALY on the Fuze, but with lower accuracy than on old Axim, and have had to make some concessions with the half-cells.

Could understand arguments for different devices based upon particular usage patterns, but the Fuze is a solid contender and hope to use it for a long time.
