Rather than being promised for the next generation HTC Fuze 2.

Let’s face it: it looks like a point upgrade I should have gotten via software update. Worth getting but something that should have shipped last week no matter how impressed they are with themselves.

On the Touch HD, the programs list shows a dozen square icons with plenty of space between them, and I have yet to have it misfire even once when I hit them – with my THUMB. Nor are my fingers by any means in the sleek and effete category…

Sure it sounds good and reasonable, but in actual practice I sincerely don’t believe it makes any kind of difference, except to waste screen real estate.
