Not Everyone Loves The HTC Touch Pro…
In the US, where the HTC Touch Pro has just been rejigged and released as the HTC Fuze, it has gone down just as swimmingly as on this side of the Atlantic.
Cnet went with 3.5 out of 5 stars, whilst CrunchGear branded it “the best phone we’ve seen from HTC yet.” Probably because they will never clap eyes on the Touch HD, according to HTC themselves.
However, not everyone loves the Touch Pro.
This handset will be America’s first experience of the TouchFLO interface which envelopes Windows Mobile on HTC devices, and cult gaming website Penny Arcade has ventured into mobile phone review territory for the first time with the Fuze, whilst finding a very eloquent way of describing the experience:
“More like ButtFLO.”
It descends into a pretty scathing review of the HTC Fuze, and the TouchFLO interface in particular, with some very valid points which HTC seem to not have rectified since our Touch Pro video review.
The funniest part, however, is when it descends further into a slanging match between the site’s co-founders as to how best capture the essence when insulting the device. Read their ‘unique’ HTC Touch Pro/HTC Fuze review here.
Oh, and happy birthday Penny Arcade!
