With the Fuze's improved specs and from what I've read, it will be a good device. I just could not justify spending a ridiculous amount of money for an iPhone that is so very very limited in what in can truly do. Sure, what it does, it does damn well, but there's the problem. Windows Mobile will always be a tweaker's platform, and that is what I consider my self. It's fun and interesting flashing different roms, radios, learning how to customize boot screens, dissecting roms, creating your own. It's something the iPhone will never ever be able to do, and will never be able to keep my attention for more then a few months. It's been 4 or 5 years now and I can still sit down and read through pages and pages of threads discussing Windows Mobile roms, and figuring out what advantages and disadvantages there are to each. Some people aren't cut out for tweaking. They just want something that works with out putting any thought in to it. Windows Mobile takes considerably more effort, but in the end I think you have a far more powerful end product, despite some of Windows Mobile's short comings and stupid quirkiness.
