New HTC Touch Cruise
Has anyone seen any reviews/'hands-on's for this new HTC?
HTC Touch Cruise It looks like it's got a very similar spec to the tytn II but a slightly more iPhone-ish look. Which probably makes it a great phone...? |

Re: New HTC Touch Cruise
Nice video - it looks quite swanky! I'm gonna assume it works pretty well since it's prety much identical, internally, to the TyTN II.
Now all I have to do is buy one off contract next month and batter my iPhone owning friends around the head with it until they cry

Re: New HTC Touch Cruise
GPS + 3G good, no keypad/keyboard bad.
It's good to see Apple have woken up people with their UI though isn't it? Sooner or later HTC will produce my perfect phone at this rate

Surely that's what the TyTN II's there for? A little less flashy, a little more functional but essentially the same phone. |

Re: New HTC Touch Cruise
AFter bit of fiddling I have the "touch cube" running on my kaiser, works really well. Havent plucked up the courage to flash a full custom ROM yet, 1 day in and I have TomTom, memory map navigator, various live apps (yahoo go seems good), etc installed. Have also got music in stereo running over my jabra headphones, with control of the music app on the buttons, so am really happy with it all. The yahoo go app also offers routing using the onboard gps, havent tried the latest offering from google yet.
All the best Flibb

Re: New HTC Touch Cruise
Nothing that's put me off it so far. Now all I've got to do is find enough stuff to sell for me to be able to afford it
