AT&T must be very lucky. After iPhone 3G, now they are rumored to put one of the best Windows Mobile-based handset out there, HTC Touch Pro on their shelves. However, it seems that AT&T won’t use “Touch Pro” or “Raphael” as its product name for this handset. Instead, as Engadget has reported, they’re willing to use “Fuze“. Well, it sounds pretty weird than it’s used to be.

Just for your information, this QWERTY smartphone, which also dubbed as HTC Raphael has become a great buzz in blogosphere since June, 4th 2008. For its Taiwan-based manufacturer, HTC, this series has also been prepared to continue its success on selling their beautiful HTC Touch Diamond.
One of the thing that really matter in HTC Touch Pro is the hardware. Compared to its predecessor, HTC Touch Diamond, this handset will sport on a 512 MB ROM internal memory. That’s twice bigger than 256 MB Touch Diamond used to have.
Price information
No information on this handset’s price tag yet. However, the phone specifications is reported to be just the same with the one we can find on HTC official website here.
Note:
It seems that AT&T has deleted this “Fuze” announcement on their website. So chances are that this announcement will be changed or updated by AT&T itself. But we don’t know when and why?
