| The Fuze is well-equipped to accompany you on trips around the world and get you fast data speeds in most places. With 14 Bluetooth profiles, there's almost nothing you can't do with the Fuze, and Wi-Fi rounds out its solid connectivity package. | |

Cellular Bands (8.0)
The Fuze is a quad-band GSM device that operates on the 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz bands, giving it very good compatibility to roam on networks in North America and around the world.
Data Support Score (8.0)
The Fuze has a 3G radio with UMTS/HSDPA connectivity on the 850, 900, 1900, and 2100 MHz bands, giving it compatibility with AT&T's network, of course, and 3G networks outside of the U.S. T-Mobile's 3G network operates on an unusual frequency - 1700 MHz - that is not supported by the Fuze, so T-Mobile users should not look to obtain a Fuze, unlock it, and expect a high-speed data connection on T-Mobile's network.
Bluetooth (12.0)
The Fuze has a Bluetooth radio operating under the 2.0 + EDR standard. We found it easy to pair the Fuze with computers. The Fuze is quite well-equipped with 14 Bluetooth profiles: A2DP, headset, hands-free, Personal Area Network, Human Interface Device, object push, basic printing, file transfer, SIM access, AVRCP, dial-up networking, phonebook access, serial port, and SDAP.
The Bluetooth profiles list
Wi-Fi (5.0)
The Fuze has a Wi-Fi radio that operates under the 802.11 b and go protocols, putting it on par with most of our comparison devices, except for the Nokia N96 that includes support for the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) standard to share multimedia over a network easily.
Infrared (0.0)
The Fuze does not have infrared. This is an old connectivity standard that is seen less often in mobile devices with each passing year.
