HTC Fuze keyboard is better than HTC TOUCH Pro keyboard

Many people think that the HTC Fuze is just a HTC Touch Pro with a different name. Apparently, this is not the case. There are two basic differences:

  • Different color scheme
  • Different keyboard layout

People have actually praised the layout of the HTC Fuze. They have found the keyboard more usable than the TOUCH PRO’s keyboard.

Now, the best part: Panels still work flawlessly!
