  1. HTC Touch Cruise Reviewed

    Reviewer: DigitalReviews.net
    2 weeks ago

    The HTC Touch Cruise is a brilliant piece of kit.  There is no doubt about it.  It has everything a modern smartphone should have, including WiFi and 3G with HSPDA, Quad band connectivity. It's relatively generous with memory: 256Mb ROM and 128Mb RAM plus a 1Gig SD card. However, it's kinda pricey at its official AUD1149 level. This is mainly due to the inclusion of Co-Pilot Live, a value of AUD169. Street pricing takes the Cruise down to a much more attractive AUD 65... Read more

    HTC makes some of the most beautiful PDAs in the world, but they're also some of the most expensive. The company's new Touch Cruise rivals the Apple iPhone in terms of sleek design and touch screen utility, but its high price tag places it firmly out of the reach of many potential buyers. Read more

    Overall a well-rounded device that suffers from only a few setbacks. Look past these however and you’ll find the Touch Cruise intuitive to use and quite well stacked in terms of features. It’s not too shabby on the performance front either. Read more

    Even though HTC's new TouchFLO 3D devices are starting to ship, its still worth looking at devices like Touch Cruise, with its AF camera, HSDPA data, and built-in GPS. Our UK man, Russell, puts the phone through its paces for us in this in-depth review. Read more

    HTC Touch Cruise will provide a reliable and precise navigation when needed. Aside from that, you will make and receive calls with a very good sound quality, no matter in which country you are. The device can be operated single-handedly -thanks to the TouchFlo 2.0 technology and the rotating 4-way D-pad. In contrast to Artemis, which didn’t have 3G support, Cruise has a tri-band one, meaning that even if you are in an area with no WiFi coverage, you will still be able... Read more

    this phone would be the best phone on the market, if only the camera had a flash! lack of a flash is the only con I can find on this phone. the touch interface is great and the touch keypad is even big enough for fat-fingers like mine! if you have $600 to spend on a phone, this is worth it!

    After using this for almost 4 months, I can say that I am still quite pleased with the HTC TCruise, enough not to be temped to upgrade to Diamond (we'll see about T Pro though). The fundamental things that I like are: 1. smooth leveled screen - initiates no stylus mentality, eases touch screen usage, alot! 2. resilient case - although it is somewhat ugly, the TCruise is rather good for rough handling, with soft touch plastic (or is it rubber?) Does not easily get dirt... Read more
