AT&T Announce HTC Touch Pro In Guise of HTC ‘Fuze’ Smartphone

Following on from a great deal of speculation, AT&T have (inadvertently, it would seem) confirmed that they are indeed set to carry HTC’s Touch Pro 3G tri-band HSDPA Windows Mobile smartphone though the handset will be supplied in AT&T branded guise as the HTC Fuze.

Confirmation that AT&T are set to carry the HTC Touch Pro ‘Fuze’ comes in the form of a cached webpage courtesy of Google that details AT&T’s new Fuze smartphone as follows:

HTC takes Windows Mobile smartphone design to the next level with the introduction of the highly desirable and elegant HTC FUZE. The multi faceted HTC FUZE is a 3G tri-band HSDPA Windows Mobile smartphone brought to you by AT&T, which allows you access to the world and to a world of features. Going on a trip?

No word at the time of writing concerning either the envisaged availability of AT&T’s HTC Fuze or unit/plan pricing but, following this inadvertent leak we suspect that AT&T will act quickly to provide further details so as to ride on the back of gathering consumer interest.

We will, of course, offer any further update as and when they become available.
