 | 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...? (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") This is bunny. Copy him into your signature to help him dominate the world |

| 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  (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") This is bunny.

but as it stands its totally different from their offerings, most noteably the main screen WILL take a sodding age to load/render. But actually has useful data on it (news, weather, emails etc.). Thank god Apple is there to inspire these people eh?... oh wait, no, its the evil MS. throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception) |

| 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  |
