  • i have touch cruise and it is working wioth a 8 gega microSD since i8 bought it wiyh no problems .... and nO UPGRADE STOP PLEASE STUPID TALKS.... microSD BRAND NAME is LEXAR

  • I have HTC cruise with 8 GB MicroSD and it's OK. But i have others problems with my HTC, sometimes navigation in windows it�s very low simply does not work.

  • you need to upgrade the WM version to read micro SD card larger than 2G.

  • Memory greater than 4 GB the HTC can't read

  • I guess that the phone or call volume is low. Check the left hand side of your phone and put both volumes up. I believe it will work. Mine phone does the same thing but work after i increase the volumes.

Thank u and have a nice day at work . Await your respond

  • I have had 3 touch cruises so far. Even though its not a bad device, but non of them really satisfied me. The problem is the screen. It doesn't have a uniform light distribution. All of the touch cruise's I had, had the same problem. You want to see what I mean ? turn the device on and watch the lower part of the screen. You can see the light pattern is not equally distributed, and that's a big heartbreaker on a device with this price range and these abilities. Everything else works fine .BUT first impression is last impression.

  • My HTC touch cruise drop and the cover that cover the battery brake and the top ot phone . I would like to know if the cover can be change or if the outcover for the phone can be bought online . My HTC touch cruise is black in colour can it be change from black to red in colour . Please contact me at 12687642927 urgently

  • - Function is look ok to me. - Design is too normal and the weight is a bit heavy. - Camera is 3 Mega Pixels but the picture I took seems not 3MP.

  • Yes, it does

  • Nagy, how r the applications you downloaded are doing?.... any problems encountered so far? By the way, from where did you managed to get all this good stuff? I'd like to pack my new cruise and get it to be even more handy.... Thanks in advance for your support on that ;-)

  • Diamond has a more powerfull processor than Touch Cruise, a slightly bogger RAM memory, a newer Touch Flo 3D interface, a bigger screen resolution (but the same screen size), but doesn't have a micro SD slot, beeing limitated at 4 GB internal memory TC has micro SD slot and the price is lower The rest of specifications are pretty much the same none of this two devices daesn't have a full querty so, the choice is yours I have TC an i'm satisfied, but for a girl diamond could be more appropriate 'cause it's more stylish, glamour

  • i found that this model HTC Touch Cruise is the most one have a lot of options that i need is it another model have the same option within HTC or not and is this model HTC Touch Cruise have GPS or not

  • I plan to purchase the HTC diamond or the HTC touch cruise and i've read most comments but you by far seemed the most educated on this topic.... So if you had to choose which would you recommend this is really important im purchasing this for my fiancee so i wanna make sure i get it right....

  • Can u use FM Radio with Bluetooth ? Does the FM Radio and Bluetooth hang? Does it hang while using various applications ? Lastly, how is battery life. Please advise wether to go for HTC Touch Cruise or Nokia E71 ?

  • Can Any One Tell Me About The Sound Quality? And The Cam Quality

  • Thx Dr. for the advice..... u r right it is worth a try though even if for a short while.

  • hi Azazy, this dr fouad from Cairo... if you will buy touch cruise from here .. it`s software banned navigation system but if u will buy it e.g. from UAE or Saudi ..it`s working..the choice between it vs nokia depends whethwer u use wpocket pc application or u r satisfied with symbian application.. try windows mobile with any of ur frends befor buying it if u r not familiar with it..

  • Folks, I almost made my mind to buy an HTC cruise, but a friend is encouraging me to get the Nok-E71 as it has the option of downloading the maps and using it offline.... is this available in the cruise? Down here in Egypt the GPS is banned, yet I just love to have the maps support. Can anyone advice back... thx a lot.

  • By default the cube is included in the official version. For the cube move ur finger from the middle bottom to the center of the screen. The cube comes up automatically. Then move ur finger sideways to view other options of the cube.

  • I can help any one related to operation of htc cruise mobile. I just finish my research on over it. Not only that htc has super support to Skype, Google talk, yahoo messanger etc. And also u can convert your phone as a I phone by I phone themes. Not only that u can set animation in your htc mobile to link with your alaram. Example am putting a dancing baby in my htc and link to alarm when alaram ring the baby is danceing in the screen. There are so many good features are htc. Hardware problems: As a reserch i found HTC must have provide more RAM to fexible the video mode. When u start the suit it too diffcult to manage very very poor profermance than old imate PDA. Some time FM Raio is hanged, Blootooh hanged. Otherwise over all performance is good please mail me : [email protected]

  • Lastly, how will I make my home screen look like the default one (Same as the posted photos and review on this site)? Thanks again :)

Thank u and await your reply urgently because i dont like my phone scratch and everyone i show my HTC touch cruise like it and need one to buy .

  • i woul like someone to help me...i waant to buy 1 smartphone...and im thinkin in the HTC cruise and the ipaq 190..but i have some questions about HTCcruise..does somebody know if theres any problem with the touch screen?? i meant if it responds 100%% well?? and about the way of typing messages in the touch screen, it looks a little difficult...and what phone would you recommend me?..thank you a lot

  • I quit trying to upgrade to 6.1 .In Egypt GPS is not allowed and HTC does not have a 6.1 version with disabled GPS so for us here it's only WM6, so it's good news for me that the 6.1 is not better or at least not to the extent that makes upgrading a must :) I was about to use one of the roms available on the net then I realized that I may loose the arabic support which I need for messaging also some of those roms eat battery faster .. On the other hand the roms available for other Arab countries have Arabic menus as well and I hate that. So thank you for your update about the WM6.1 now if you have a trick to enable GPS I'll be gratefull :)

  • Nagy I upgraded to 6.1 and to be frank i like the ver 6.0 better. Its a bit slower and the texting is like as if u are chatting, which i didnt like because i need to forward alot of messages

  • i think that the only reason to buy htc is wm other than that nokia is way better than htc cruise and nokia has an excellent price for a touch mobile

  • use the software PIM backup

  • thanks alot nagy for ur help

  • I have the cruise which I love... Although as any other mobile it has its bad points. So nothing is perfect I guess :) I don't have the Nokia 5800 but used a lot of Nokias before Things depend a lot on how you like your equipment ..Simple and does the task (Nokia) Full of possibilities and plug ins (Cruise) 1- The cruise is a windows mobile which is a whole category with a lot of software replacements to what it offers when you first buy it while the Nokia is a symbian (I already added a scientific calculator, a dictionary, a stopwatch, a timer, a bible, a very nice video player capable of playing a lot of extensions including divx ..etc.) 2- The cruise has a faster processor and larger built in Ram (better performance ??) 3- Cruise has Office editor and PDF viewer 4- The Nokia has an accelerometer 5- I think the camera on the Nokia will outperform that of the cruise (any camera will) 6- The Nokia has an audio 3.5 standard not the USB style of the HTC 7- The Nokia will have I think better out of the box profiles for office/outdoor/silent ..etc So it all depends on how you like your phone ... Good luck with YOUR choice :)

  • I don't know if you can backup contacts to a card somehow but they can sure be backed up to the pc and that is done so easily

  • i would love someone to tell me which to buy htc cruise or the new nokia 5800?????

  • how please?

  • In terms of hardware it is a very good phone (been with me for 6 months, never a problem). However, in my opinion, the software has to be customized to make the phone faster and smoother.

  • I Buy htc touch cruies. telepone basicly ok but very slow.other thing all the disply very small expcily the keyboard.I saw the htc3g.compare with other these phone very nise price wise also very defrent.htc criues buy 3250Dhs.3g only1250Dhs.You see very deffrence.These one I can upgride? pls advice me.

  • Thanks for your advice I went and bought the cruise and I like it already ..Any must have software add ons ?? And please what's the best video player that you decided on ?

  • It is so terribly slow that I'd like to throuw it out of the window. So only if you don't like speed it's a nice machine for you.

  • nagy: i have a touch cruise, bought one half a year ago. i really like the device, it has its minuses but they are very small since no device is perfect. i have seen people complain about touch cruise but i haven't experienced any of those problems, i did the upgrade to 6.1 its very easy to do it. go to htc.com but after the upgrade i started to experience few software problems like slow response and freezing, but it doesnt happen often. i guess if u choose this device u will be overly satisfied with it since its powerful enough. but to tell u the truth there is no guaranty u will get the device that will give problems, but thats with any device.

  • Hi everybody :) I am doing my H.W about the available windows mobiles and the Cruise seems like a good choice specs wise. Although I like the look of other HTCs more but when it comes to value for money I guess it's on my short list. Now my question is has anybody tried upgrading the software to WM 6.1 and was this easy ? Also are there enough available 3rd party good applications? I'm new to WM and can't tell by just googling I need the opinion of somebody who really owns the set

  • Can you please name some of those mobiles in the same price range. In Egypt (where I live) The nearest in specs costs like 30% more My must have specs are: + 3G with video calling (not just 3G like touch 3G) + Windows mobile 6 or 6.1 + Touch screen with handwriting recognition + Good battery + A decent camera but not a deal breaker

  • It is by and large a good phone but as of today for the same price better phones of same breed (wm6.1) are available from HTC, samsung, Sony etc

  • does anyone know why when i instal IGO and try to run it, it restart my htc?

  • hy guys, I scrathed a little bit my screen,it`s not to deep. can anyone tell me how to "remove" it?

  • or forum.xda-developers.com

  • "htc YC A200" is the best one. If in US/UK you can buy it online else need to search in local stores.

  • You can access it from start -> settings -> phone -> services.

  • ppcwarez.org should be useful.

  • If anyone want this phone you should know that I have it and is at a very low price. You can contact me at mail above.

  • can anyone help me with some maps for tomtom,pls.I intalled mio and it doesn`t won` work,I instaleg IGO and it closes every time. what can I do?

  • You need to hard spl ur device and then install the rom update with any language u like. forum.xda-developers.com is the best guide you could get. good luck.

  • Hello marius, thank you for the answer! Can you tell me in which phone service did you go ?

  • this is the best mobile no more than this u have to buy this one to feel it

  • to change the language u must install the WM in that language.I had the same problem, I went to a phone service and they change it for me.it doesn`t work with the update.

  • Hi, I am going to receive a HTC Touch Cruise with WM Pro 6.0 in dutch. I would like to change its language to english or french. I plan on upgrading the OS to WM Pro 6.1 (via HTC website). Does anyone know if this will allow me to change the language of the phone? Thank you !

  • thank u all.i`m now in holand and I went to a phone store and they intaled me the new windows 6.1 in english.so now i`m very happy.

  • Do a hard reset (Cold Boot) to restore your device to its default factory settings, YOU WILL LOSE ANY DATA ADDED TO THE DEVICE, it will restore the device to it's original setting. The device when first time start ask you to choose the language, choose the language you want, if it is available or preinstalled, and continue with the setup process. but if it is not preinstalled you will have to go to support porsonnel at the place you purchased the device. To perform a HR (hard reset) using device keys, please follow the steps below: 1. Press and hold both the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device. 2. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the GPS/ MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER buttons until you see instructions on the screen. 3. Release the GPS/MESSAGING and INTERNET EXPLORER buttons, and then press the SEND (Green) button on your device if you would like to continue the hard reset. Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed. hope this will help

  • Marius , you can not change the language in HTC. that's why when you are buying a windows mobile u are asked at the beginning the language of the operating system and they do it at install time ... once done there is no going back unless you wanna get your device formatted and the OS reinstalled

  • i`ve got an HTC and i can`t change the language.so can u pls give you`re mail to talk on mess?pls. cred ca am nevoie de un SN din romania.

  • btw this htc have a free download from the htc side Windows 6.1! :D i give this htc a 9.95/10 :D i LOVE IT! :D

  • I need to know from where I can get the GCC maps software for HTC Touch Cruise for FREE.....

  • my serial number is not working and i cant download the latest ROM. why is it?

  • For all other issues (unlocks, apps...) go to

  • It is possible to upgrade to WM 6.1 and final release is issued already on HTC official site WWE, US and Europe, but you must have genuine. In oreder to download update, must have serial no.

  • i think touch cruise is better than tytn....

  • I want to know if it is possible to update to WinMobile 6.1 a HTC cruise phone locked by Orange Romania. Please feedback if somebody did that successfully. I have downloaded the WinMobile6.1 from HTC site and I want to update my phone. Is there a risc, cannot call from the phone, etc?... If I will use the Orange vertical menu that will be no problem for me... but I still want to call/receive calls and sent SMS in Orange network.

  • Just using it for the past one week. Very cool phone, GPS works like a charm, albeit with the right maps. 4gb micro sd, lots of accessories in the box. Mostly a happy user.

  • Dear All, I would like to get an Touch Cruse, but I'm facing a problem, The GPS is disabled and could be reactivated by flashing the ROM. Do you know from where to get it since it's no available at HTC site ? and how to flash it ? Thanks a lot. ([email protected]) Sherif

  • go for the Cruise. Tyn is too heavy

  • oh really. Dear Amir if it happen without any you'd better change both owning to these are in sync with each other and may cause same in future.

  • Thanks for your reply viz much appreciated. This is a great phone guys. I don't know what all the complaint is about. Its a cool toy with great specs. Excellent connectivity. I've tested the wifi, bluetooth and all the other connectivity and it works really well and painlessly. I've even installed garmin XT and the gps is great. Surprisingly accurate and works great on this phone.

  • forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=399 I personally prefer "Polaris_WWE_0.67_Basic_bepe". Do not forget to Hard SPL first.

  • hi guys i have touch cruise model and the lcd was broken without any beat or pressure! so i want to know i have to replace the lcd and digitizer or just the lcd? thanks.

  • Best file explorer /reg editor is total commander. www.ghisler.com/ce.htm

  • hi guys. I'm planing to buy a HTC.Im in full confusion. Could anybody suggest me whether Touch cruise ot TYTNII is the better model to buy?PLZ

  • Hey mate. Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate that you took the time out to repsond. I'm gonna try all your suggestions below. I am new to windows smartphone but love the Touch Cruise so far. One more thing, can you suggest a registry editor I can use and where i can get one? Also have you upgraded your ROM and what version did you use. Any links to these? I am a newbie to all this so i'm just finding my way and appreciate your recommendation.

  • by the way, dont forget that you have install the SPB mobile shell first, then restart the phone, before installing the Diamond system theme, it wont work unless you intsall, SPB mobile shell first, very important!

  • Hey 1) just click download (not click purchase) "SPB mobile shell" and install it first, it's a rar file, just copy the SPB mobile rar file from your pc to the default folder of "my windows phone" on your phone, remove usb, then access the rar file in the phone through the phones "file browser", when you find, just click and it will install itself. After installing, go into the SPB menu and choose the "black" colour theme. 2) Then there is a cool slide phone lock feature like in the iphone (same installation process like above) 3) Then there is the HTC Diamond Menu slide theme, go to the middle of the thread in the link i am providing, and download "Htc Diamond MS2.1.zip" , you need to be forum registered at the thread to be able to download, no problem, takes just 1 min, it's free, register to thread, do it. After downloading zip file, unzip it on your pc, the go into the unzipped folder called files, masscopy all the files in that folder and paste it in the phones "SPB mobile shell" folder which should exist now in the phones Programs folder if you installed it. While pasting, click yes to all "replace" file notices. 4) hope it helps, it will actually make your HTC the easiest phone ever to navigate in, from probably being the hardest.. opens up a whole new world. Cheers!

  • Hi Jame. Where did u get your SPD mobile, SPD apps and Diamond system theme from? Can you pls post a link. Many thanks.

  • i freakin love this phone now!! first i was very annoyed with the main menu and submenu systems that requires a degree in advanced software programming to navigate in, i was gonna throw the phone out the window, takes like 5 min to set up a phone call in the default menu system. Then i installed something called SPD mobile, some SPD apps and Diamond system theme, now the menu navigating system is a mix of the Htc Diamond and Iphone, to navigate now is a childs play, it's so easy, beautiful flip and rotate menus, easy and instant access to all submenus, it's freaking hot!! i love it.. took some time.. but now i love it! best phone i ever had, now my N82, P1 and N95 8GB is just lying around doing nothing.

  • Jo, Actually h/w wise there is no variation. Basically tytn ii has a qwerty keyboard which and cruise does not have. The cruise has a FM Radio which the tytn ii does not have. If you are a user who does a lot of mails and messages then tytn ii is better......ur call....

  • Hi, Try putting your pics and videos into the My Documents\My Pictures or Videos and try.... go to forum.xda-developers.com for lot of info.

  • Hi, i was wondering if anyone couls help with a issue on this phone. I use the touchflow and finger rotate to the side til i get to a menu with only music, photos and video bars. There is my issue, i was wondering how i can get the videos stored on the "memorycard" to show up in the "cameralbum" section? it's really annoying having to through media player and open files or go through start menu, then programmes, then file exlporer, then memory just to get acces to videos stored on the memory card, the videos stored on the phone memory shows up fine in the camera album, but not the video on the memory card, can anyone help me? please..

  • Hi, jus wanna ask whether htc cruise better or the tytn ii better ???

  • Which version of the ROM are you on??

  • So, here is the HTC Cruice. I have this one two weeks ago, and unfortunetly I do not like it very much. Why you say...I will tell you why. In first place, the navigation thru the phone is poor. It is take time to access whatewer...contacts, call log, dial pad. Because of my work, I need to dial frequently, many times a day, and when you can�t... Poor sound, nomather what program you are using. Can�t do incrasing ring+wibrating, hawe no alarm. Yes, it does have, but is there anyono who can here it but may Cat... Contacts...if you need to look for someon and have to type the lethers, well you will have only 2 rows to see what apears...isn�t it poor. Every time the phone lock it selfs, you have to push the power key, to do whatewer, nomether of the option to do not block all the keys. The good thing is that you have GPS...ooo that is great, but why there is only maps for the biggest countrys in the world, and there is no single one for where I live. Uncustomizable. There is no themes, unless you pay for it, no screensaver unles you pay for it, no language pack unles you "program you self one". Ringtones...ooh my. Copy and paste favorite ringtone to a directory in the windows FS, if you can find it. Is this normal for the equipment I pay more than 600EUR?!?!?! Batery pack. Do not beliewe what they say. with 2 hurs talk time a day, I need to recharge baterry every day, allso the Standby time..2days most. I do not use wifi, BT ore WMP e.tc. well it may be the Exchange client. I send and recieve more than 30 Emails dayli, but 1 day...come one. My previous E51, was many time greather than this piece of trash. If you are looking for advise ore opineon...DO NOT BY THIS PHONE OR ANY WITH WINDOWS OS

  • Hi, There could be probs with the rom on the handset. try to install the wm6 shipped with the murata radio. that is the best. forum.xda-developers.com is extremely useful. good luck.

  • I have had a lot of windoes mobile phones but I am extremely dissapointed on the quality of the HTC brand. I had a HTC Diamond and it was outrageoslly week. It was sluggish, blocking itself all the time with no reason and baterry very week (half day use - and it was dead) After all I decided to go back one step at my friend's advise and purchase a Touch Cruise. I did a terrible mistake. Yes, the battery is better, yes I have GPS but it's not working properly, yes I have Wi Fi but the batery dies very quick when using it, but worse of all is that after I talk and try to hang up, it blocks and remains open and it charges me until I notice. When I notice I press several times the red button for hanging up but it doesn't respond. The only salvation is to soft reset the mobile. Moreover, if I want to switch of the anoying sugestions on the keyboard mode can't be done and it takes me more then 5 minutes to write a f*** SMS. I do not recommend at all HTC as a brand. I am very dissapointed on their quality. Best phones I ever had are from Imate. Their phones are very stable plus they have an excellent callcenter - service 24 hours a day (which you will never find on HTC) and an excellent site from were you can get planty of info. (www.imate.com)

  • Gooooooood! I have many phones in the past, but Tuch Cruise is the best. I recommend it to all pda fans

  • Thank's!

  • Hi, to all you people who are contemplating whether or not to purchase the HTC Touch Cruise a.k.a Polaris..Im a mobile freak and i need to change my cell phone every 3 mnths. I was initially keen on the Nokia E-71 and Apple Iphone 3G but after a lot of research and deliberation i settled for the HTC Touch Cruise. I have been using this phone for now 23 days and i must admit its a wonderful phone, very aesthetically built and stirdy which doesn look plasticky like some Nokia handsets..its quite light for a business phone. Built in softwares are excellent and you could always add more junk or things ud need..battery is fabulous..mine lasts for 1.5 days with 2 hrs of GPRS,3 Hrs of phone calls and fiddlin and playing games all the time etc..This is a very undermined feature and this is the reason i opted for this phone considering every site has criticized Touch Diamond and its true that it has a pathetic battery lasting 12 hrs max. After using this, il honestly recommend it to everyone who needs it or doesnt need it for business purposes..the phone is selling at a higher rate at some places than the HTC Diamond..ul know why wen u have it..id give it 9 on 10 cheers

  • i have touch criuse the internal speakr is falied and board is fail are this phone is good?

  • why don't you try flush it again with original ROM, then go to www.htc.com download original ROM in english and install it. or take viz advice, go to forum.xda-developers.com you will find something useful for your problem.

  • Hi, forum.xda-developers.com is the best place. There you will find a wm6 original shipped murata rom. The best radio version so far is 1.58.25.14.

  • HELP!!!! I have a touch cruise for 2 weeks. At the beginning I had the Windows in Spanish, and somebody helped and made it in English! Due to this transformation I had almost no phone signal!!!If I stayed in the house I had no signal at all, and outside at most 2 lines! I got back to that person and he told me that he had instaled a so called "chip" from a website and told that my phone is one of the first ones made and thei have signal problems and HTC manufacturer posted a driver! CAN ANIONE KNOW WHERE CAN I FIND THIS DRIVER IN THE FUTURE? thanks

  • I have one for a mounth and it's camera has just cracked by itself!!! At a PDA u dont need a cam!

  • Get it repaired. Take it to your nearest dealer.

  • pls visit www.xda-developers.com

  • can anyone please tell me if i can zoom in and out. when i'm look at a website.

  • Bought this from India for 30500rs Deluxe edition - comes with carkit/1map Good for professional users. For the processor inside, it doesnt look fast enough. If 3G and GPS are used, battery is discharged too quickly. At times, the display is blank, need to restart (happens once a week) Not viewable in direct sunlight Camera is too slow. Gets snapped only after 1 or 2 seconds in normal light. Almost impossible to use video recording. If these were rectified, it was the best phone for the price.

  • wat is tomtom map

  • Hello, I'm sorry about this question but, in the 3G specifications says: HSDPA/UMTS: 2100MHz for Europe, 850/1900MHz for USA. This means that there are two version of this phone one for USA and one for Europe?

  • Never Ever Buy this Phone I brought, The company replace 3 times Motherboard and SimBoard, As on today the Phone does not have any Network connectivity, you put any card, network does not get. UnBelivable

  • to seima hi you can upgrade but to be honest there is no big difference.just type microsoft windows mobile in google and you can read all about it,if you email me I can give details.

  • I just bought this phone 2 days ago. But i never expected that video playback would be so horrible. HTC should be ashamed of themselves!

  • Hallo Souran Thank so much for your advice. Another Q: Can i upgrade to Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Prof?

  • In HTC Touch Cruise I can use 8 GB memory or not ......it will work fine

  • Im read a lot of opinions now here, and a lot are quite positive. Im thinking of getting one. But, give me a good reason why! What makes the Cruise better then other phones! I want to navigate, have good internet, want to install applications like Winamp, Google Search, Gmail and some other ones. Furher I want a expandable memory to at least 4 GB. Is this all (good) possible on the phone. i know it has all these features, but does it all work good and properly, and can I install the programs above all! you can reach me at [email protected] or pepslipknot[a]gmail.com thx guys!

  • Warning: the device has motherboard hardware problem. In particular, I lost bluetooth/FM-radio/headset functionality in just four months after purchase. No software "hot fixes" and flashing can resolve it. I am not alone, see numerous forums.

  • why is this phone so darn expensive? what is the big deal or what is so special about this phone here in edmonton alberta it costs $800.00 dollars while the nokia n95 8gb (which has a better camera and personally looks way better) is cheaper by $100.00 i think this phone is way overpriced!.

Any thing more u want to know email me on [email protected]

  • Dear All, I'm a very new user of touch cruise and I'd say tat I love it even its just much more simple compared to my N95 previously. The functions are useful enough but yet to explore the nature of having those softwares in it. The look should be considered simple yet ellegent, people will look twice if you hand it out. Do you guys think TC is better than iphone? Then, for me the photos taken are nice enough in colours and resolutions. But I've got few probs with other stuffs. 1) How can I change my sms ringing tone as I found out I can only change the incoming call tone? 2) I love to listen to music with every phone that I own but it seems for this one its seriously will utilise the battery too much, any idea as for a solution? Can we hide the repetition of contacts as TC will show as per sim card and also as per phone differently while most other normal phones will only show one contact with minor notification tat it is saved either in sim card or phone? Is there any option to make the ring tones of sms to be the music tat we have saved in memo card? Anyhow this TC is so much faster in mmsing and internet browsing compared to my previous gadget. And its so much lighter and thinner. I like it. If you have any advise kindly fwd to my email: [email protected]

  • there u find all this softwares brother or u can email me at [email protected] and i will send u all cab's for installing this softwares,there is another software called pointui Home which is really great it gives the new life to ur pocket pc.

  • Now to Stavros my dear firend i have cruise and its really good about diamond feauters the answer is yes u can install some of the soft ware on cruise i have installed opera 9.5 on my cruise and its really great,i have installed the diamond Dial pad key and keyboard which are verey nice u have to try them.u need to go to www.1800pocketpc.com

  • Is it possible to install WinPro 6.1 and the rest futures from HTC Diamon?

  • As for me Cruise is much better then a diamon. My question is: What chances i have to install same soft like diamon has?

  • the diamond is better i think. it has 4 gb of memory, is smaller, looks a little better, has a higher resolution, and runs on windows mobile 6.1. However, I just bought the touch cruise and am very happy with it. I have no complaints and is still a very brilliant phone.

  • i wana buy htc phone.. can u plzz tell which 1 is better 1) HTC TOUCH CRUISE 2) HTC TOUCH DIAMOIND plzz tell very mch confused price is not a problem..

  • i wana buy htc phone.. can u plzz tell which 1 is better 1) HTC TOUCH CRUISE 2) HTC TOUCH DIAMOIND plzz tell very mch confused price is not a problem..

  • you can increase the screen itensity as well. I live in london so not much sunlight, but works fine for me.

  • there is a setting for this. Try Programs-> sounds notifications-> Notifications. Then select new text message and pick up the sound you want. Presto!! works fine on my phone.

  • I've had a similar problem with the 'older' p3300 version of this phone and not being able to view my sd memory card, I think it boils down to incompatibility problems with the sd card manufacturer as other makes of sd cards work perfectly in the phone. I'd ask a friend if you could try their sd card or buy another. I guess you can always return it the same day saying it doesnt work if its not recognized in your phone!

  • hi, It recognizes the 'my documents' of the cruise first. Go there, and one of the items is 'my windows mobile based device'. Click on that and you can browse youre whole device...

  • TO "Shahab": G means Guaranty :)

  • Hello Mobile experts. I have a question about my new Cruise. I like to install the TomTom on the machine/memo card. Problem windows XP only recognises the Cruise not the memo card in it. How can I than install it?? All on the card? or ?? Thanks for the answers. Feedback sofar...I am not yet thrilled with its handy possibilities, perhaps because I like to use my old 6230 so long. Can you say the Cruise to use the normal typeboard always? Now he switches aal times to the 12 one. Thanks in advance, greetings out of ..........Luxemburg.

  • What do u mean of "G"?

  • around 660000 Toman with G.

  • yo can it play mp4 movies?

  • 2 weeks now and it is doing good, as most of the users feed back about the screen, so bad on sun light. -the sound is perfect,as a ring or to listen to your music -the GPS very good as Rx quality.

  • u get any memory card 16gb?

  • I have the P3300 in Russian language and there appears to be no way to get it converted to English. HTC website for downloads is of no help with this issue.

  • Does this phone support 16GB micro SD card..?

  • Please help me to buy new HTC phone which One? 1) Touch Cruise 2) Touch (With Enhanced Features)

  • I had the WING (T-Mobile USA) before I got the Touch cruise. The wing had the "voice command" on it which anabled it to announce incoming calls and read out your incoming text msgs. I navigated all over the Touch Cruise but cud not find this command. Did I miss something or is it not available on the Touch Cruise? Sent several emails to the customer care and technical support links available on the HTC website, but no reply.

  • Yes the GPS is with voice navigation. You don't have to pay anything extra for that. It takes a minute or two longer than a regular GPS receiver for the phone to establish a connection with the satelites. Bottom line, the phone is awsome. I have had nothing but HTC products for the past three years.

  • I use 8GB with no problem. Please check.

  • Dude, I have the phone. You don't have to pay for GPS and you can unlock the map of anyone city, free of cost. (Some of the world's major cities are covered, only) If you want to unlock the maps of other cities of the 'map-provider' (MapKing), then you need to pay MapKing. Check the MapKing website for more details.

  • can u tell me on ur call logs whn a person calls u does the call log show a green arrow i.e < and whn u mk a call is it a yellow arron i.e >

  • does any 1 know if the gps is full navigational features included with the phone, or do you need to pay for the voice?

  • Can anyone tell me whether the car holder scratches the back or the side of the pda?

  • here it goes! the pda is sexy,u can set ur own ringtone..wi-fi browsing is too good,phone is having the roller key which make 80% easy to avoid flippy clickers of pds. it is atlest much much better than HTC Touch...it has got good memory storage & program, i would give 9 out of 10...worth buying...i've replied after using after 5 months....

  • At last i got the cruise,later i'll send a detailed review about it, but just keep in your mind that this phone is a business phone, use it as your mid way between your laptop and your lovely phone. this is to give serious ppl some fun,this is not for young children :)

  • can anyone please help me out here.... thinking of getting a pda soon, and have been advised by a couple of self confessed tech pros to get the htc tytn II. the thing is, i've read a couple of the reviews and also comments posted in here and now i'm not so sure which should i get. I've previously used the nokia communicator 9500, the sony ericsson P990i and also the O2 atom exec (not so sure about the model as used it for just a couple of weeks before the sony ericsson but do remember clearly that had a lot of problem navigationg thru the interface and also setting the email accounts). please help me out here, anyone....??

  • hi everyone .well i c that touch cruise had many good opinins and approval by most of its users unlike other htc phones.i want to buy htc but so confused which one.i need for my work to read pdf files and review books also tkae pictures. do u think it will do?can u recommend any other phones? waiting 4 ur help.

  • Try to check BT settings on your TC (under "mode" tab). I had same problem, because M$ was disabling visibility to others.

  • that is true...screen is not clear under sun light. i face this problem and i need to go to shaded area to use it.

  • i have recently bought the phone, and have had no problems with it. windows runs smoothly and quickly. the screen is beautiful, the colours are great. the camera is fine as long as there's enough light. typing takes a bit to get used to, but the t9 help so much and after getting used to it typing is a breeze. touchFLO work flawlessly, absolute genius, i love it, the a2dp is great with my plantronics headphones. wifi is surprisingly quick. in the address book, the scrolling for names, with the alphabet thing on the side makes it so much easier and faster to look up a contact. stylus is not much needed, only for more detailed work. have had no problems with the gps, works great, the in car phone holder fits snugly, but seems to pull out my stylus everytime i pull my phone out of it. one thing i wish htc would have done, was to include a 3.5mm slot for headphones, been itching to buy the shure's mobile ready headphones. other that no complaints so far. as for paint wear, i have not experienced it, but have seen it only on those non-working sample phones that stores have at the door and, everyone is playing with them, and it only happens on the hard buttons, it may be because there have been so many ppl who were playing with it, truthfully i barely even use the hard buttons, even with a call comes it, theres a button to push on the screen and i usually use that one. well i'm out of things to say, so hope this helps

  • There is a way to set a tone as a message tone but it needs to be short otherwise it cant be stopped even when the message is read and continues to play until the file is completely played out. For more info e-mail me @ [email protected]

  • please can any body using htc tell me why there is no kind of ring tones assigning or declaring receipt of message ???

  • After having problems with my touch cruse, I was told by their support staff that they do not support cards above 2Gb and blamed my 4Gb card for the problems but it played up after taking it out as well so it is not in to be fixed. In addition, they said that you should only install HTC software; I had several programs reliable programs that they also tried to blame.

  • Forgot to add another featuer which Cruise wins over Diamond: talk time and battery power! We really need this if we use all features of these phones. So again in this comparison, Cruise wins over. Good luck in choosing phone of your choice!

  • There are a few more things we should think, while shelling out a good sum on any phone! It should support our requirements at lest for quite some period, with all our needs. Diamond's positives are its good looks. But considering expansibility feature, it lacks support of expansion slot & camera also dont have the mirror. If u plan to store songs and use the space for storing data, this will really be a hit in the running time. Curuise is a phone packed will the best of feature, and it just lacks the kewl look, like the Diamond! Finally if you really wanna choose a Man's phone with all features to play with and good upgrade support, Cruise is the one!

  • Well I personally think the Diamond is a heck lot better than the Touch Cruise. 1. It has a VGA screen. 2. It has a more responsive touch screen. 3. Way better browser. 4. slightly better camera. 5. More good looking 6. Windows Mobile 6.1

  • Hi Guys. Have been planning to buy a htc for some time. After reading opinons of both HTC TC and HTC Diamond, m not sure which one is a better piece. I m disappointed that diamond does not have cord slot and that both have only 65k colour display. Also i m not happy that diamond is available in triband and not quadband. Sad that one has to choose between two options. CAn pls somebody advice.

  • does htc provide service centres for major cities of india

  • I'm using 8gb micro sd card with mine. I have had no problems at all. Works great ! Have installed nav 8 igo maps with thailand and canada.

  • Hi, What the maximum MicroSD card it supports, i own Nokia e90 currently i'm using 8gb planning go for 16GB . does T.Cruise supports 8/16GB micrdSDHC Card. Does any one used it ..

  • hay, i atlast buy this phone and " I my self test it" , BLEAVE ME ::: it is not what you see in this opinions!i use to read them but when i just buy it i work with that and see it have NO problem ,i love this CRUISE! but first you should be shoure to bying it from htc agent in all of the world. and read all of "ATTENTION" in it`s manuale and do so. then you will see you have a one of the fastest and compeletest and loveliest phones in the world. for video you can have your DIVX player in your self phone,for free. you can have it in divx site.(divx.com) you will be glad to have this phone. any Qusetion ask me.

  • men this is much better than iphone. it is so sleek and compact that i have to be surprised. The screen is much brighter than N95 (which i had before). It ran so smooth!!! Loving it

  • I just recieved my phone for Mothers Day. I did not have any problem connecting it to my car. I really love this phone and had no issues.

  • @Bacchus, If it's anything like the tilt, then yes you will have problems viewing in sunlight. When my tilt dims down to its secondary backlight I cant see a thing or if I am taking pics in sunlight its hard to see what I am viewing. But when you wake up the phone to its main screen you can see everything names, numbers, pics you already took, web pages etc. Hope this is helpful, thanx eddie

  • I have heard stories of the HTC Touch Cruise screen is not visible under sunlight. From experience can someone confirm such?

  • There is a problem with bluetooth. It is not able to connect to my car's bluetooth device. Car's bluetooth device find phone and tries to connect, but HTC just does not accept the connection. On the same time there is not any problems concerning car's bluetooth device connection with Ericsson or Nokia phones. Car's bluetooth devices software was upgraded few days ago, no difference. What could be good solution - reinstall phones bluetooth driver or anything else? Or just sell out the phone not useable during driving?

  • Yes, FM is available via the HTC-only headset that includes the FM antenna. Both the headset & FM radio s/ware are included with the PDA. This is an excellent PDA/phone. Much better than the previous model. I've used it in the UK & Jamaica with different SIM cards - absolutely no issues. Very fast response even with my 2,600 contacts and 250 notes (do you have more data?)!! Absolutely no regrets :-) FYI - I've used various Treos and WM PDAs over the years. Push e-mail, MS Office Mobile, SMS, I-Net browsing all work well. Comes with IE as default but Opera is also available :-) Bluetooth & 802.11 wireless - no problem. The camera is fine - but, obviously, I prefer my Canon SLR :-) The included TomTom GPS s/ware worked flawlessly in London, even while sitting in the Gatwick Express!! (Note: I downloaded London as my free city.) I think it has walk, drive, sail & fly modes - I tested the drive & walk modes. Other cities are available for on-line purchase. I hope to try it in the USA later this year. The combination of WM6 and the 400 MHz processor means no need to reset this WM PDA/phone every few days!! And this PDA does not freeze up whenever it is receiving a text msg. Touch-Flo is great and works well, if you like that sort of interface. I use the stylus for detail work. Make sure to apply the screen protector as soon as you take the PDA out of the box!!

  • If you like O2 products and cant wait for the O2 Orbit II then buy one. It works very well

  • A bit slow & call quality not so good

  • is there an FM radio in this device? the specs here shows that it has one, while the official page htc.com does not. Plz any owner of this phone kindly reply. Thank you

  • Is it worth buying this mobile? Is it better than TYTNII. Please respond with your experiences

  • My HTC TC is very slow and lagg...pls check HTCClassAction.org

  • I bought this mobile one week now and is really enjoying with Wi Fi dsl. Its really big fun and good mobile. A little slow still! Overall rating is very good mobile.

  • you can use photo gps.... search for more on google but from what i've read you can after modifying a registry key.

  • I am thinking about buying this phone but would like to know if the GPS integrates with the camera so that the GPS coordinate is recorded for easy access in a photo's metadata. Anyone know?

  • this is very nice and fast.

  • Hello Guys The HTC Diamond coming next month. Do not buy this one. I sold mine few days ago before diamond come out otherwise would of lose alot after Diamond is in market.

  • after 10 days my earpiece and mic don't work. i've tried a hard reset and nothing. i found out that i'm not the only one having this problem. not to mention their service quality. htc sucks.

  • Hi friends, can you guys help me to check whether the phone can open websites with Java Applet or not? For example, you can open this link to check - http_:_//arcytech.org/java/money/money.html (Remove the underscore characters) I consider to buy this thing or other Windows Mobile based phones, but only if it can open websites with java applet.

  • GPS does not require internet connection, it's embedded in the device. What you need is map software so you can use this GPS chip efficiently. I installed tcpmp but it says a driver is missing (it was "removed" from the tcpmp due to copyright reasons) wtf. So I was not able to try those mp4 videos from ted.com... About video playback - you can find some low res. videos which will playback ok.

  • Should I buy this Device??Please help Video problem is for Mpeg files or All Video Playback?

  • Touch cruise options and features is very powerfull, but, i'm surprised from the Camera performance, shaked image still or video, i mean that shaked image before taken the snap shoot of video movie, all object must remains without moving to have a good pictures and this is not accptable from HTC,hope to have a solution for that, any one can help?

  • i've been using this phne for more than 4 months and i dont have any problem wif it...no paint peeling off or system crash..i dun hav any problems wif its speed n the touchflo works great...if u want a pda i really suggest to buy this phne

  • Dont buy this trash,you will regret it.Dont believe me? no video driver and very slow.I just sold mine for $500.

  • WTF...very slow.what happened?

  • Does the GPS need internet connection?

  • serge yes i use tcpmp for the mpeg files and it is ok.

  • I just bought this unit last week,few things I am not happy with this unit is that: 1-when I try to tap on the message icon in the HTC today screen,it seems like it takes more than expected time to lead to the inbox page, is it ok? 2-battery drained out too fast.I do not switch on the bluetooth as well as WI-FI,so is this normal?

  • got a question everyone...friend bought this phone for me in chinese version for me, and I wanted the english version....i can't read chiense...anyone know if I can change the program at all?...i can't use this phone right now....please help...

  • Love it. Cant really fault it. One thing thing though- I dropped an .AVI file on the memory stick, and used Nero mobile for playback. It's jittery, and not really watch able. Mp3 files play fine.

  • I'll give a try to tcpmp...

  • DRCRUNCH, so are you saying that we have to re-encode the movies to be able to watch them normally?

  • I bought this phone 1 mouth ago.I read all of the opinions in gsm arena htcclassaction.org and the others.I BOUGHT ,NOW I AM HAPPY.1)ı use tcpmp for the mpeg films.I USE PİXEL ASPECT RATİO AT 4:3 SCREEN ON TCPMP and i watch all films very good. (USE POCKET DİVXENCONDER AND ALLOK AVİMPEG CONVERTER AND U CAN WATCH ALL FİLMS VERY GOOD WİTH SUBTITLES i couldnt find another way for watching films with subtitles )2)I like all pics with touch cruise camera on it but not on my pc :)3)touch cruise' gps very good I live in turkey i use i-go program and it is wonderfull i can say 3)touch flo : thanks for it very good. 4) wifi ehhh so so.ok bye bye

  • Hi Everyone, I just have a small question. im about to but the new HTC Cruise and i just need to know if its possible to open the attachments when you recieve e-mails with attachments. caz im using i-mate jamin and its not possible to open the attachments of the e-mails.

  • Thanks.......Serj...for ur reply......

  • Slayer, I tried with Windows Media player which is part of WM6, the playback is slow, so video jumps every 2 seconds or so (every main frame?)... I should give it a try with another player indeed, will post results. P.S. - what I was trying were .mp4 video files dowloaded from ted.com. Maybe they are too high resulution for this device? No idea... Youtube playback is ok, but it's in low resolution, looks ugly (pixilated).

  • Hey are there any video playback issues with this phone........as mentioned in the reviews.....can this be solved by using other video player software..........

  • am going to buy dis mobile f dis mobile s awesome or not ,,, everayone tell me plz b4 buying it !!!

  • To "unknown" who wants the number in brackets (123) to be off. Just go to regional settings and choose "English (United Kingdom)" and the brackets will go off. Right now you pc has chosen English (United States).

  • A very good and nice device but for another time htc didn't involve a flash (led or xenon) for the camera! Why dear htc?

  • P.S. - I did not have even an instance of its freezing or hanging so far since I've bought it two months ago.

  • Some time ago I was reading this thread to get an idea about the device. Now I own it and it's my turn to give the opinion: 1. Weight and size. I have both HTC TyTN II and HTC Touch Cruise and have to say for sure the latter is way lighter, sits perfectly in palm and power button is exactly in right place (especially when you hold the device in left hand using stylus in right one) 2. Glossy issue DAMN designers, who ever could come up with this stupid idea to make the top plate reflecting. So we have two places of reflection: the screen itself gives sharp reflection comparing to TyTN one, maybe Cruise has 2 times stronger reflection than TyTN II has it; besides the screen, the border of the case is even more reflective due to it's stupid cheap nickel-like covering, damn it. Just make black box, is it that difficult? So, overall, reading from TyTN is way better and less distractive than from Cruise. But still, Cruise has bright screen and I still can read it under direct sun light, just find an angle to do not have much reflection. Eventually you get used to it and it's not THAT horrible, but can be better... 3. Performance. In general rendering of screens while switching from app to app does not work very fast. Say, if you have an incoming call, it takes some time to get that screen displayed, so it does not react as fast as any regular phone out there, but is still acceptable. The main issue is mp4 playback - it sucks big time. FM radio is ok, maybe less sensitive and a dedicated device but still gets main powerful stations in the city. 4. Photo camera is slow You press button, it adjusts, it makes sound then it takes the picture. So it may take 2-3 seconds before you'll get the actual shot and the scene may change already. Still, not that bad considering "all included" nature of the device. Quality of pictures are very good usually at daylight. 5. GPS Seems to be working but did not tried it yet with, say, TomTom. BTW, HTC supplies MapKing map application with it, not TomTom ;) 6. Connectivity I really enjoy wifi connection both at home with wireless router and at work via public hotspot. 7. HTC UI HTC cube does not help much so I almost do not use it. 8. Touch screen sensetivity as not as bad as I thought watching demos on youtube, but could be better. You have to get used to it... Overall impression - not bad for WM device, even though I'd like to have it working faster sometimes. mp4 playback issue is really ugly one. I mainly use it for reading in metro. And it IS expensive considering faulty video playback and lack of god navigation software preinstalled.

  • yes, mp4 payback is slow, image jumps, voice is ok.

  • very very slow....compare to o2 atom zinc which is a bit cheaper and more enjoyable watching video playback then this expensive device..dont waste your money on this device until htc release the video driver...i got this one already...my next pda will be others,but not htc...

  • I bought my HTC Touch Cruise 2 months ago. It's awesome! I don't regret buying this phone even if its pricey. it's really a great phone for surfing the net thru wi-fi, listening to music with audio manager. the finger scrolling is so smooth. I also installed alot of 3rd party application. the camera is good it has an auto-focus but no zoom when you put it in 3megapxel mode. the video camera s not that quite-good. but it's ok. I'm really satisfied and happy with touch cruise! some of the issues people talking about touch cruise is not true..*Some*

  • hi, i have this phone and i only want to use the internet-connection over WLAN. where can i phase this? thx Michael

  • The phone is neat enough. i bought mine in france (where I am living. but i am not a native french speaker and find the microsoft operating system impossible to fathom). I desperately need to change this to english. Has anyone done this? third-party software suggestions? thanks

  • I am in Hong Kong and I bought the phone in HK. When I enter phone number in the dialpad, it's showing the US phone number format (123)456-7890 instead of HK format of 1234-5678. I can still make calls but it's very annoying and difficult to read the number when it's show (123)456-78. How can I change it? I have tried the Registry Editor, but it's already showing default 8 digit, and still doesn't work. I tried emailing HTC customer service but no reply yet after 24 hours.

  • HELP! People said that it does not have a video drive! WHAT ON EARTH DO THEY MEAN?? I am starting to regret about thinking of buying the phone. Please help me but email it if you can to my email "[email protected]". Thank-you

  • For choosing a phone we all have different choices, based on our use. If we see Tytn II and Cruise, Cruise has advantages of less weight, handy touch Flo cube and its ease of use with web and pics. Internally both are same and have almost same power.Cruise is just a bit advanced than TyTn II and has few addons.

  • MR DESERT: As per the reviews i read, it is not a problem reading this phone's screen under bright daylight. Currently i am under confusion wether to buy the HTC Touch Cruise, or the HTC Tytn II.

  • i got htc touch cruise and my friend got ASUS P750,when we compare video playback quality,i am nearly cry...my htc is very slow...what can i do now?

  • Finally Parrot have an update and the HTC touch now works with it.Its a fantastic phone and Just works

  • Hi, is this true that you can not see the screen under the sun light? we are in the desert :(..this will be a big problem for me..!! any advice ..cuz i want to buy this ASAP.

  • Hi, You can of course disble the Tourch Flow cube by editing the registry. You can do that with various tools availble free to download now. Also, the processor is not too bad - its really doing the job, but HTC also can enhance performance by giving good video drives for them. The phone is really a useful one with all features combined in any Win mobiles released - till date.

  • This phone is not as good as its technical spec... Qualcomm definitely must learn from Intel for how to make a fast processor... not only thinking to buy a license to monopoly a GSM chipset... Touch cube also only wasting a RAM... what a crap !... you even can not modify a list of program there... or at least there should be an option to activate or deactivate this touch cube..

  • to change ringtones, just tar the fourth tab on your home screen and tap at the ringtone tab. same for sms. if you want custom songs, open up your song file and tap and hold it till a drop down menu pops up then choose set as ringtone. i'm not clear aout custom sms tone though.

  • Hello Gsmarena readers, Finally i got a cellphone with much thought and reading all the reviews, i did a lot of research and finally decided to go for HTC Touch Cruise....and let me say it is worth it. This is one of the best phones anyone can have. The best feature Touch flo technology is great to use and amaze ppl when u show your cell phone to others. About battery life i dont think there is any issue with it...cause every pda has this issue. I have just some questions if someone has answers for it ....how to change the ringtone for sms and alarm, or do i have to install a different software.

  • Got my htc,...i really regret buying your product..

  • Can any one answer my Question!!! can we substituted a laptop(as an example)with this kind of HTC phones? in case you use the laptop as internet connection and listening to your music or watching videos!!

  • Could be a very nice toy... After 4 days WiFi mostly didn't work anymore. Strange messages on screen after reset, bluetooth did't work, sometimes extreme slow, sometimes locks. After 14 days of problems I tried to change it for a working one at the reseller Typhone in Nuth (Netherlands). The only thing they said was that I could take it to Dynafix to get it repaired. I did so 14 days ago and I still don't have a phone!!!

  • not the battery is the biggest problem. even though it is still a major problem with every other pda (using WM)its the same. the biggest problem in this phone and in Tytn II is the problem with the video drivers! these phones are more expensive than the hp 600 business navigator but have processors that are with 120mHz weaker. on top of this you cant watch films on it... on the hp ypu can!!! yes, they have the touch interface, but this is no the most important. HOW CAN HTC DIDNT INSTALL THE DRIVERS. THESE PHONES ARE GOOD BUT ONLY ON PAPER

  • Everyone keeps saying that there are other better touch phones out there (example the Xperia). My question is - is the Touch Cruise touch-screen interface the same better or worse than the competition? The cruise has the special TouchFLO, is it a better touch system? Is it worth getting it for that?

  • Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 better then this phone

  • Re: buds I been using mine 4 weeks and was Sonyericsson user before.i have to tell u that the battry last for me 24 hours and not more and sometimes less maybe 20 hours.but i m using more than 3 hour of calls and non stope smsing and my wifi is connected all day and browsing for 5 hours.about the memory i am using 4Gb and there is no any problems at all and its not even slower than 1Gb original memory.about 8Gb i have no idia but dont think so there will be any problem.and i have installed skype and its working perfect.and pointui software which give u an iphone look like experience and its verey fast u have to try it.

  • cool toy. I am from western europe and my question is if it works with Igo soft, not with tom tom which it does not help me at all with the maps..... WAITING FOR YOUR RESPONSES!!! THANK YOU!!

  • I have recently bought a HTC Touch Cruise n is definetely the phone i want with all the features in it. I have own it for just two weeks n i couldnt connect it to my bluetooth and theres a window stating harware problem. Have u guys encounter this problem? It been 2 weeks now since i sent it back to the store where i bought it,hmmmmm.

  • Search no more, THE completely multi-functional AND user-friendly PDA-phone has arrived! HTC has the answer to ALL your mobile phone, personal data assistant (organizer), mobile office, music listening, photography, video, and GPS navigation needs, in the Touch Cruise. Okay so the touch screen requires a great deal of heavy thumbing :) if you REALLY want to fiddle about with the "3D" cubic display, and the unit goes through its battery charge so fast that you daren't travel more than a couple of days without the charger (PLEASE HTC, A MUCH LONGER CHARGE TIME BATTERY FOR NEXT X-MAS!!), but one quickly accepts that trade-off for what is without a doubt the STAR PDA-PHONE!

  • i got this phone.....emmmm.i don�t know...

  • pls can some 1 that has owned the pda for at least 3 months add a review. some 1 not biost to htc. inc battery life and response after putting in a 8gig card. thank you. will be waiting for your post.

  • Re:ijfs U dont know what u r talking about,all stupid nokia mobiles starting from 50$ all the way up to ur (going back 2 nokia) nokia tube are junks,i got N95 8Gb only in 2 weeks the key pad was jumping out of that fu**in slider.the paind started to peel off, I had Htc tytn2 and now i got touch cruise and for ur info we all know SonyEricsson i a good company and now Htc is making thier X1 for them.so if u wana be a dump ass we cant help u go and wait 4 ur tube but remember if u got it and suddenly while touching the screen ur finger went through the screen dont come here crying.

  • This PDA is comercialized in Spain as THC Touch Find trought Movistar

  • Re : ijsf Ooooo Nokia Tube is coming out. Look at all the features! It has about a billion of them. Oh but wait, i know nuts about the features. I just want it because it's from Nokia. Wow... and WOW i can install a dictionary in it so i can learn to spell English words, i hope there's an english tutor in there too because I CANT GET MY SENTENCES CORRECT. Example? "no video driver??? forget HTC , its suck ur money.BTW Nokia Tube is coming....i m back to Nokia...." Retarded freak...

  • Crazy price, the best then is to order it in some UK's eshop via DHL transport and you'll get it in couple days for min 100 euro less.

  • How much money? Here in Croatia it's around 650�.

  • As long as they have not changed anything, I believe you can use other tones for your alarm. Mostly smaller WAV or MP3 tones (you can Google stuff like Special Effects, or Movie Quotes). What I had done with my Wing is take that downloaded clip, rename it so it is the same as one of your existing alarm tones, then using Active Sync, drop it into the Windows folder that contains the original alarm tones. Hit Yes to replace it. Worked for me, hopefully for you as well

  • I gor htc touch cruise week back i got car kit with it also mapking software with registration code and maps also 1 gb card, great pda top of the world no hangs not slow i will give 10 out of 10

  • Im happy with it just small problem of sending multi sms cant figure it out yet very nice GPS

  • no video driver??? forget HTC , its suck ur money.BTW Nokia Tube is coming....i m back to Nokia....

  • it is possible to have any interface in landscape mode, that is so obvious. one of the places to look for software and other answers is www.xda-developers.com

  • Hie there.... Do the alarm of this phone can be assign with personal ringtone? Coz default tones sound sucks and soft as i really have a hard time waking up in the morning. Does anyone has solution for this?

  • Where is the best palce to download free softare for the device?

  • I'll have it tomorrow, but I cannot wait to see for myself: is it possible to have the GPS interface in landscape mode? Why do they not do something like that, since "widescreen" GPS devices seem to become the norm?

  • great phone, looks and feels great. My blue LED will not work when bluetooth is on!! any help would be appreciated

  • hi victor I am glad that i could help enjoy with ur phone and its really lovely.i have put a screen protector to the front panel to avoid the paint from peeling off. To thoese who r asking abuot the bessinse card reader this software is availible inside ur app cd which comes along with the mobile.u need to install it with ur pc.

  • Does it come with a Business Card Reader, can't find it on my device.

  • I got my Cruise at Clove Technology eshop in UK, and even though I live in Lithuania, I got it practicly next working day through DHL Air Express.

  • Hey Souran, Thanks for the great tips! It works perfectly!! as for your question, I'm not sure yet. I've only used my baby for 2 days and i constantly keep it inside a pouch. so ya, i'm really not sure at the moment abt the peeling. will update u when i have more info.

  • Ive had mine for 2mths now.Battery is terrible I bearly lasts a day even on light use.Also will not work properly with Parrot bluetooth carkit

  • Serge, The responsiveness of my Touch Cruise is very good. I don't have any problem with it. I also don't have any problem with the glossy screen. It might be possible that it becomes unreadable with a lot of sun, but in my rainy country it will never be a problem. Mind my words, I said MIGHT, but I'm not sure about it. Anyone an answer about my question(screen protector one) ?

  • I just bought myself a Touch Cruise and I'm loving it. It's very responsive and fast. I think all the claims of this baby being a mess is a complete lie. However, I do have 1 question. How can I view the pictures I've added into my memory card by using the Touch Cube? Anyone pls help. Many thanks!

  • Guys, 2 questions please: 1) watching those demos on youtube it seems like the touch screen is not that responsive (whey they try to rotate the "cube" or click on close button, is it indeed or it just coincidents? 2) the screen looks to be too glossy, does it disturb with reflections in well lit office environment? (review says it's hard to see what's on the screen under direct sun light...) Thanks

  • I bought one HTC TyTN II from selectgsm.com, very good deal. And they do have return but may withhold stocking fee...

  • I just bought the cruise. When buying it the seller told me the quality of the screen protector was very poor. He said some traces will remain on the screen when taking it off. Can someone confirm / deny this ? Thx

  • Ok, so PhonSource-USA is out of my list of retailers, what about the rest of the sponsors here on this site? Can anyone recommend a reputable online retailer? Thanks.

  • can't tell about phone source usa reputation, but I do know they don't accept returns. I won't buy from them because of that.

  • hi, Well i've got my touch cruise for 2 month's. it's a great pda exept htc heavent instaled proper drivers (google for it)and they refuse to make an update.When your on youtube it uses it's streaming media player witch is no good viewing.when u convert a video there is also lag with windows media player,before the touch cruise i had htc p3300 witch had no problems with media...other than that the touch cruise is a great phone. P.S. the paint of the device leave marks and the volume button looks like it can fall off any time.

  • where you got the phone from? im afraid of those retailers. I dont know who is credible enough like phone source usa, which i read bad comment on some forums.thanks

  • hi i got this mobile today its perfect no other phone like it really,only i want to ask if any body knows that paint is gonna pill off???! please i you know any thing about this tell me because i cant use it the way i want

  • Hi JB, I'm hoping that you're referring to Tom's comment because I only asked about the buying experience of people who bought from one of the sponsors here on this site. Thanks.

  • jxs1, I think that you have lived in the tank 'cause you speak about this phone so lame like my grandmother would. You paid 150$ for tomtom insdead of installing better software - cracked version of Garmin mobile XT, and I also think that you have no clue what Windows Mobile is about, you should learn basic computer skills and then take this phone into your hands.

  • I just got mine yesterday... Design is way okay specially for ladies, features are too...I haven't tested much on the performance yet but so far, I love it.After reading so many reviews on diferent mobiles and pda, i'm more than glad i decided on touch cruise! No ifs and buts :)

  • Has any of you purchased from any of the sponsored retailers here at GSM Arena (i.e. PhoneSource-USA, Bargain Offers, etc.)? If so, please tell us about your buying experience. Thanks.

  • hi everybody. i'm sorry if my express is your offensive. i'm tired been waiting for the htc cruise package delivery by ups. when i finally got the package, open and kissed it. i put the battery on and turn on. the phone takes a while to reboot. i alway thought the touch cruise would be better than iphone, because it got gps, windows mobile, etc... the touch flo is not as good as iphone. the gps is not available in my area. (only one city download allow.) then i paid us$150 for tomtom's map software. (the phone ended up us$850) sofar the explorer is not as good as iphone , there is only certain website you can go to. or it will have error message while loading. there is only thing i like is the size and weight is better than iphone. battery is average. last one day long. with weather update often. i would have another phone if it cost us$300 including gps and map loaded. because u can't use the gps for a long period of time.

  • hey can anyone tell me if they have watched movies on it. do you have problems with it

  • Is there anyway in Windows mobile 6 to change with size of the dialer touch pad? The numbers are too small on a 2.8" lcd, any help would be appreciated :)

  • I have never tried Windows Mobile before. I was a big fan of Symbian (and still am). The first ten minutes I scared that I paid this much for this phone, but now after 3 days: It's a great phone. The wheel is a bit slow but working perfect. For those who are in doubt for the keyboard feature (choices between Touch Cruise and TyTnII) go for Cruise and install Resco keyboard and have endless fun. The Transcriber input mode is brilliant and much faster than traditional keyboard for me. The only issue is memory, which you need to buy seperately. 2GB is ok and have reasonalbe price but 8GB is quite expensive and is the maximum by now.

  • Does someone knows where to get the right cracked version of Garmin Mobile XT for this HTC Touch Cruise?

  • John...I have a Nokia N95 and i just ordere Touch control..Nokia is good but it's symbian..between the E90 and touch cruise i would choose Touch Cruise it's sexier.....I am not sure personally if i will keep the touch cruise or N95 since i never had a windows mobile, just have to see when i get it.

  • about the Hp ipaq 610/612c i'm not too keen on the design, but it does have amazing specs yesss :/ in the real, does the htc touch cruise or touch look more sleek/stylish etc?

  • Hey Ali, have you missed the Hp ipaq 610/612c ? Its my personal favorite and is better than all the devices you listed except may be the Xperia. Check the specs. It also has a navigation wheel like the Ipod.

  • I've been saving up and researching phones for months and I've narrowed my options down to 3. Could someone give me pros and cons, or a personal favorite. Thanks HTC Touch vs HTC Touch Cruise vs LG KS20 orrrrr wait for the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

  • I have the Nokia N95 and am considering to buy this Touch Cruise...Can anyone help me and tell me if it is worth the change...

  • indeed a brilliant phone. have had changed several phones in the past 2 years. tried all form factors from smartphone to blackberry to palm. started of with my very first... the o2 mini... must say that served me well... went one circle through all those phones and now back to wm htc cruise. and have decided to stop at this ..i at least for some years before a new one storms in again. cruise is definitely all that you can ask for in a pda. great reception , sensitive and fast touch response , great map king application , and superb connectivity ... in terms of overall performance this phone tops the rest I tried... i600 e65 treo650 dopodc750 tytn2 iphone... maybe that's why its selling like hot cakes

  • please help me? which i buy? tytn ii or toouch cruise? do it is very usefull have keyboard or in cruise we are comfort ?

  • Rustam, unless you're living in a bunker you have a hardware problem most probably, sugest to contact the seller for warranty.

  • i have a Touch cruise for 2 days. all the functions are working fine, but the phone reception is very bad. even at home no connection, Any one has same problem? Please advise if this a problem with the phone or the connection. (trying same sim card on different phone-working fine) Living in US at the moment , may be they have different system? Any opinion appreciated

  • so at last I got it. the control wheel or how do you call it is quite loose though, I don't know is this natural? Everything else seems to be working fine so far

  • htc has the power to be world cellphone leader the problem they have is advertising adding a bit more style to the touch the cruise the name cruise doesnt really have a ring to it they could beat the iphone to the ground all they have to do is do it they got the money

  • and yes u can switch it on w/o sim

  • yes it has fm radio tho u need to have headphones plugged in since they act as antenna, i've had no problem with weather app tho i have data plan and sometimes its easier to use wifi for updating weather

  • I also excited abt this HTC Cruise, but wondering.....can it support and connect to WiMAX??

  • Does any one know how to get the weather application work with t-mobile proxy. I got every thing to work but weather app under the t-zone plan.

  • Hi, Does this phone have FM Radio? If not does any PDA?

  • hi BKP, I too am waiting till the telcos bring back this device into their price plans. Everywhere it is soldout in Singapore (what a high demand). Check out last Saturday STimes newspaper. I've seen the official ad for cruise from HTC it self.

  • i'm interested in HTC phones.. and if i use it with ATT in usa, i dont plan on signing up for a data/internet plan, how does one use the WiFi to connect to the internet for free? i use the phone for texting & calling a lot during the day, so is this a good choice for a phone?

  • Hey Guys' do not know what happened in two weeks this phone was sold out in singapore. Could not find any during the Goodfriday weekend. All major retailers including the service providers are now expecting the net shiping on Early April. Any idea how is the selling in other countries.

  • can it be switch on without sim card? pls let me know..thanks

  • For those interested in the TC camera, I can tell you Ive had a hard time getting a decent pic on it. Love the managing software for playing around with the pictures, but an actual picture taken with the camera at highest resolution and adding all imaging effects possible, seems impossible to get. I installed google maps and it works like a charm, get usually 6 or 7 satellites to pinpoint my exact location and my location on the map is usually 90% correct. Must have a unlimited internet mobile plan for this little toy. The RSS Hub keeps all the info I need at hand also. Windows live keeps me connected and updated with new email. Any doubts, Id be glad to help. Take care

  • OK, got it! go to START | SETTINGS | BUTTONS, select the application you wish to launch and hit OK. Now the GPS hard button launches TomTom instantly. VERY simple. Love it. And the TomTom software is a VERY cool thing on this phone. Dirk

  • Just bought HTC Touch Cruise. The GPS hard button launches "Messaging" instead of the GPS app. Huh? Any clues here? Can I reprogram the button properly? Many thanks. Dirk

  • "Hi .....! Can anyone tell me, can I use this Phone in my car like a GPS navigator! Answer me, pleeeease!" Sorry for the mistake! I did'nt mean gais, I did mean guis! Bad english....

  • I am between SE P1 and HTC Touch Cruise!! But i am wondering if the camera of HTC is good as the P1's camera!!! And also what about the screen(HTC 65k and P1256k)

  • i love this cellphone i am using this since 4 weeks as GPS working great

  • Hi gays! Can anyone tell me, can I use this Phone in my car like a GPS navigator! Answer me, pleeeease!

  • I really love this phone...it's the best I ever had

  • This brand doesn't exist for me anymore. Don't buy their products. They are slow because do not have needed drivers installed and do not work as expected according to the technical specifications (all the new devices). Technical support is horrible there is no tech support at all. Chinese is Chinese.

  • Great Phone. But why HTC did not combine the 3G 2100 and 850 on same phone? but instead they offer different version of the phone. HTC forget people do travel and do not want to buy two of the same phone with two different versions.

  • i love it!

  • Hi, does anyone knows how can we set the repeat of the sms alert? I saw the setting under Notifications for Event for New Text Message under "Play sound" below theres a checkbox for "Repeat" but yet its not available for ticking, is there a way to activate it? Thanks.

  • If you are confused between Touch Cruise and TYTN II.. TYTN II is alot heavier and bulkier than Touch Cruise. TYTN II doesnt have TouchFlo Technology. TYTN II has a hardware keyboard and Touch Cruise doesnt. HTC did a good job with the on screen Keyboard on Touch Cruise. This is coming from a person who relys alot on texting and emailing. I prefer the Touch Cruise over TYTN II.

  • Paint Problem as in. There was rumor that paint was peeling.. but i had no problem with it. Yes. Its bad when the screen is under direct sunlight. have to make sure you change the backlight before u go out.. if you lowered it.

  • The phone works great and its an eye catcher without a doubt. Working with it for 2 months now. MS calender is worthless. I recommend installing pc-informant immediately. As I said before, use a protective screen sheet if the silver-coloured buttons if you are afraid of the pealing remark. I am doing so with great feel and sense. I will not waste any money on SE or Nokia anymore. By the time so called XPERIA X1 hits the market. I am going to se HTC kill it yet by another jewel. I dont buy phones for shells as SE is living on that.

  • My boss is using it for a few weeks now and he is very happy with the cruise. One of the problem with this device is that sometimes, when it goes into the sleep mode (standby mode), it will take few sec (like 3 sec) to wait up. But, it still better than mine (other model from other company). A number of times, it doesn't even wait up and I have to do soft reset. I am waiting for the offer as well.

  • Anyone got a chance to play with this device during the itshow ended last week in Singapore? i didn't get a chance. Almost the two big service providers have temporarily stopped this product on their phone plans as they ran out of stock. Don't know when they are resuming back with the touch cruise. can't wait to get on my hands on this awesome device.

  • So, finally inspite of the the HTC driver problems people are recommending this phone right? I've to buy a phone immediately so of the present lot of PDA's this is the best right or what is my other option? Is this the only PDA with GPS and 128 mb of ram out there?? Which is the best site I can order this for a resonable price? I'll be thankfull for any help given.

  • From Symbian to WM6.0 and from Nokia to HTC. I gave it a loooooong thought before purchasing this phone. Qwerty keyboard was my main concerne since Im a heavy sms sender but couldnt stand the SLOW response from my Nokia E61i processor. I was scared that with the motherload of applications and programs, this would be also a slow phone. Not the case. Problem with the qwerty keyboard? Landscape mode and touch keyboards solves it AND with a dictionary also (like T9) so its quick when you get used to tapping a flat screen instead of a key. Been adding programs and it hasnt passed 53% of ram usage. Task manager helps me end issues in case there would be anyway. Pricey? Yes, 700 bucks with MAPKING (what the hell??) and maps from all Asia available (delete anybody) since I live in S.A. no need. Cant wait to try the GPS (any help with software with S.A. maps???) Phone ringer could be a little louder but phonecalls are clean and loud. Making a call from scrap (just the phone number in your head) could have been a bit easier, from contacts its a piece of cake. Cant get my contacts pics to look as good as the images on the ads...and theyre both heavy and light pics...any help? Any doubts, Ill be glad to help. Take care

  • What do you mean by paint problem ?? does the color pal easly ?? what about the screen under the sun , is it un seen totally ? any solution???

  • thank u ram for ur clear opinion

  • It's the best phone I had. Problems with the prosessor with images and with the paint. we compare Iphone and O2 XDA. Touch crouse is better.

  • my gf jz bought dis phne 4 me and its so f*ckin great!! i love evry bit of it!

  • i got the HTC Touch Cruise for about 5 weeks. This PHONE IS ABSOLUTE GEM!! I LOVE IT.. 1)The Paint rumor is not true. It still is in mint condition. I just got a case yesterday. 5 weeks without a case. no paint coming off. 2)Installed TomTom 6. Works like a charm. 3)Installed Photo Contacts software. Looks beautiful. 4)Battery life is pretty good. Use it very frequently. 5)Typing is not so bad on the onscreen keyboard. I use SMS and email alot. After few days you get used to it. its really not so bad. 6)Service is wonderful. Picks up reception as good as Nokia N95. 7)Push Email is awesome. 8)I am using s 8GB micro SD Cards. works perfectly 9)Screen under sun light sucks. But if you higher the backlight to max. its usable. 10)No ZOOM in camera option. I WOULD RECOMEND PEOPLE TO GET THIS INSTRUMENT. ITS JUST ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

  • it's a great phone guys. i recomended to all of you out there. You can do everything with it!!!

  • Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 is better.

  • Please advise, shall i buy this PDA or there is any better ?? Thanks to all.

  • I just got mine in and quite a bit disappointed. It is bulkier than I thought it would be and as always htc design is disappointing. I would've certainly bought the LG ks20 but the batter life was the breaking factor for me and now I am rethinking it. Cruise just as big as my old Tytn but lacks the qwerty key board. Cruise is packed with features such as GPS and Global HSPDA but I rarely use either. Could anyone help me out with the interface difference as far as touch flo as compared to touch interface of LG ks20

  • hi im looking at getting a new phone and im W960i or the HTC Touch. so im am looking for peoples comments on these phones. im most interested to know how is the HTC like to txt with and so forth. cheers gunner

  • Sorry forgot to mension that the HTC Touch Cruise is very stable and that it hasnt crashed onze since I got it (1 month ago). My conclusion this is a perfect PocketPC, but if taking nice pcitures and filming stuff is also important to you might want to reconsider. Because the HTC Touch Cruise cannot compete with most other cameraphones on the market (the new Nokia's and SE). Also I reaaly miss a flash device. To end of with a positive note. You can charge you phone on any computer that has a USB (mini USB) connecion. This really is a handy feature that I often use when I visit friends or when I am at works :)

  • I have had my Touch Cruise now for 1 month and I am very content with it. First I was worried after some rumours on the net that the device was slow and that it crashed allot. Well the HTC Touch Cuise is incredibly fast compared to my previous phone (blackberry) and that every thing works great. I love Office Mobile, MSN Messenger, Radio, Internet Exploren and Opera, Google Maps also TomTom is such an asset because of the inside GPS. Only negative remarks are the batterylife (lasty just one day when you use it normaly), and that the headset that comes with the set is of a very poor quality, so you will need to buy a new headset if you a frequent user. Also Adobe Flash Light doenst work well. Btw I have heard rumour about new batterys from Muggen for TyneII with 3000 mah.

  • Isnt this supposed to be user opinions, not software requesting and stuff like that, i checked here to see what other people think, but instead, a waste of time

  • can this phone use blackberry services for push email?

  • to add additional tap for yr touch cruise, pls look for htc home customizer. u can add up to 6 tap for your htc home. The one paint always pealing off was the htc logo.

  • mine worked great for 4 days and then the phone feature quit working. it just continuously searches for a network, but won't find one and won't register. i called At&t and since my SIM card works great in other phones, i was directed to HTC for problems with the device. It has now been 4 weeks and they are still not able to help. The Touch Cruise model is not available for service in the US and they have no idea if/when it will be. Great.

  • I am little but confused in the terms of buying HTC Touch Cruise. Can anyone help me out for buying good Pocket PCs?

  • Urgent! who can teach me how 2 add new shortcut at HTC home ? (in default jus have 4)

  • It's irriatating when you read comments like 'give me a Symbian anyday'.When you first used your Symbian didn't you think that was complicated?Of coarse,but you learned the tips and tricks the same applies with WinMob.You need to go to and learn how to use your device properly.

  • how does the SMS screen look like? is it user friendly? anybody tried PocketCM 2.0 (iphone lookalike) on HTC Touch Cruise?

  • You can get 8GB microSD (sdhc) in market. Brand is Sandisk. Cruise only accepts microSD not miniSD. Before buying one go to the shop and request them to test it with your device.

  • But I can find this sdhc micro cards till witch capacity? Coz I only found mini cards, not micro.

  • first of all i think most of the question can be answered easily. Basically i feel most of the issues encounter is "personal".. is not a manufacturer defact. To enable the sdhc, u just need to get the sdhc driver in is done. Will get it for replacement with my dopod d810.

  • See above for an nteresting new browser for testing! Videeo fix Someone is at least aware of the problem and something is coming...

  • Does anybody know the highest memory I can put on it? Does it accept SDHC?

  • what about the driver issue ? ( proplems with video playback.

  • ok i am not confused anymore.i will buy SE XPERİA X1.i will wait

  • this is same spec as xda range but not sure if htc is as good as they say they are i mite go for the xda orbit 2 better looking i think..

  • i confused,i really confused.many people got this phone say 'it is very good'.and another many people got this phone say 'it is a big disappoitment' i am waiting 4 months for this phone.i didnt buy it because i realy confused.i am a student and it is nearly 800 dollars. and i dont know what will i buy.please be right about ur opinions.thanks

  • anyone noe where can DL games and software? thx

  • Huge problems with this device.

  • I had my unlocked TC for about 10 days, it drove me bonkers! On the first two days I was like a boy with a new toy, then I begun to get to know it and I disliked it. Shame as all the hype and reviews made me buy it. DeviceWire were brilliant giving me 100% refund (Thanks). Not being used to Windows Mobile was the main problem (gimme a Symbian anyday) and I found it fiddly hunting for received files rather than them available in front on me! Using the camera was another downside, the device slept as I pressed the key, then it woke up thinking; "ah, he;s got his finger on my cam button, maybe he want to take a photo", it would then wait a few seconds and then take the pic. Not exactly instantaneous! Then the photo would be deleted if not 'saved' and getting photos on to the 8GB card I bought - not straight forward at all. Am afraid this was one BIG disappointment all round. I've gone back to the old faithful - Motorola A1000. Despite the above, the finish was sound with a quality feel, I like the instant weather forecast, the size and weight a big plus also. The TC found Hutchinson 3G with no problems, (3 told me it would not work, how wrong they were) and it surfed their web and the whole web effortlessly as did with my Vodafone card. But the bottom line was there were too many tiny inadequacies that built into a compete disappointment. I've gone to SE and await a P1i.

  • Hi Sesam, So far this is the only phone that seems worthy for me to change to. but I have concerns about the peeling paint..may i know where the paint is located?? Thanks..

  • when i using SYNC ,y i cant transfer my file form PC to Stroage Card ? i jus can transfer to phone memory.

  • I wonder why there are lots of people asking sort of things, while after I read the User Manual I can see that it answers most of those questions. Are the people posting questions here really reading? .. and really reviewing? There is this question about keyboard or something. When you go to a menu that requires writing something, an input panel will pop-up on the screen which allows you to input the information in 6 (yes you read it right, SIX) different ways. What are those? Please read the manual.

  • I am thinking of getting this phone for AT&T service in the bay area,ca. Has anyone had experience with this phone on AT&T's hsdpa? Fast or slow? Also is there any type of keyboard available? A touchscreen one like Apple's iphone? How would you send texts and emails? Also wat browser does it use? When you turn the phone sideways will the browser turn as well, when viewing an internet page?

  • Very good phone! I especially like the wheel button. XT9 keyboard is also very good. /J

  • I just read its specs and review and there is no word mentioned on whether it records phone conversation. I do not understand how can you review phone and keep silent on such important feature, probably some kids write these reviews but hey they noticed no keyboard ! That is important ! I heard most HTCs are cheap made and do not offer phone conversation recording. Most higher end models from SE and Nokias do.

  • hey all i want to ask about the writing method. can it use the normal phone writing method? the keypad abc, def, ghij, n stuff? the one where u press twice to get b or e or something. thx

  • I bought the HTC Touch Cruise and it is great. Everything in one phone specialy the 3G will work world wide. Only problem have the touch screen slow the respond. Is there a setup on phone that would make it it more faster respond in seting area? Anyone know let me know? thanks

  • Hi everyone. Does anyone know what CIS(cmos image sensor) module is equipped on this phone?

  • Does the paint peel off?? Please advice, which better to buy Touch or Touch cruise??

  • I got the phone for a bit less than 2 months (got it 27 Dec 2007). The device is nice, sleek and sexy, BUT if you`ve been living under a rock and haven`t heard of the htc class action, you should check it on google, seems like the pretty little htc touch cruise isnt using everything under the bonnet ... or in other words, its like getting a nice 400 horse power sports car with limited speed to 100 kmph. How disappointing, htc shame on you.

  • Does anybody know whether I can record a phone conversation using this device? if yes, how? Thank you for your answer!

  • wat color tis phone have?

  • I love it. I will never look at any SE or Nokia anymore, If you are concerned about paint pealing of, just put a screen protector sheet on the button. I did that and its working beautifully.

  • This is a pocket PC and not a camera. Obviously even if a flash light is introduced, the phone would have become more bulky. BTW: if you need flash light go for Nokia N82. It comes with high quality xeon flash light. Other phones does come with a LED flash light which is very similar to not having flash light.

  • why the hell there is no flashlight?

  • To set-up the internet, you'll have to check with your service provider for the settings. Sometimes, it's possible for them to send the settings to you OTA (over-the-air), and when you get the settings you just click a confirmation button then the settings will be applied to the phone. If you're setting up WiFi to be used at home or at work, then you can take a look at the manual on how to set up a WiFi connection. Hope this helps a little bit.

  • how do I setup the internet on this? I did the auto-config thing but no internet access for some reason. not sure if it's my SIM card, it's kinda old. Is there a way to configure the internet settings manually? by the way, how much did everyone pay for their Cruise? I got it from addictedtophones.com for $749. seems alright

  • Well..... selection of the PPC is entirely dependant on your requirements. touch - doesn't have 3G touch dual - doesn't have wifi touch cruise - has evrything bundled including GPS and a FM radio other option to decide would be the Kaiser which is bit bulky with a qwerty key board. Has similar features that of cruise, except for the FM radio. There are plenty of other brands as well like eten. asus, etc....

  • since i bought that HTC Touch Cruise already more than i week. i feel that comfort and suit for business user, easy , searching fast, most important that not lacking problem appear when the program running,but battery a little bit "stingy" easy abate it energy, as the positive thinking maybe it graphic too nice and powerful. . hehe!! if you going to long trip. Friends, remember to bring you changes. Other problem is "bluetool" not easy to connecting with my earphone "GC"... don't know what the problem .... any helper give me a suggestion and you value experience? recently, This is my second PDA. previewly, i had used " dopod 838pro" .....very uncomfortable, lacking, slow for connection " pity dopod user". If you are the new user may trying it "HTC". i like those GPS function, flexible and clearly to show you destination. Even my hometown in the small town also clearly to show me the place and road , amazing !!! i going to travel, hope that GPS won't let me down. haha.... remember name card recorder also powerful woo....

  • Please Advice HTC Touch HTC Touch Cruise HTC Touch Dual which one is the best between this 3 models thanks

  • I am currently using an O2 Atom Pure and I am waiting for a new and better PDA before I let go of my "dying" phone. I heard about HTC Touch Cruise and I have read the reviews on this website and having mixed feelings about it due to varied comments. What do you think... should I get it?

  • I just got the HTC cruise and it is a fantastic phone just a bit bulky and fragile to handle. If HTC would package the exact same features into the HTC Touch it would be the perfect phone. And if they could also package the same features of the HTC cruise into a small thin pda with a qwerty keyboard (Blackberry look)they will definately capture a huge market share. Now if they also make sure both those devices have amazing battery life that would be the ultimate phones.

  • is the gps free

  • but the X1 no touch flo . any phone like HTC ?

  • I have been eagerly waiting for this phone and really like using HTC pda phones for work. I recieved the Htc cruise a couple of days ago but got rid of it today. Too delicate to use daily,scratches easily,camera lousy,bulky, and with really nothing new in it. To date the best HTC phone I used was the P3600.

  • Nice phone, but slow, do not know is it because of the processor or the memory is not enough, it is better to wait for Sony X1

  • em. u mean the graphic very low quality ? i oso feel tat ,bcos i at youtube watch the navigation map working so slow .

  • You are all familiar with the mess that HTC created to their clients with their latest top priced and high-end PDA devices that are sold without appropriate drivers that will put in use the hardware specified in the device. I`am not mad about that... HTC marketing or whoever did this at HTC, will sooner or later face the sword of the market laws or they will simply be sued. (So far despite the annoncments, they wont develop any HW driver.) I`am mad about the top "professional" reviewing sites that we read every day and they have a huge "%" in shaping our opinion as future consumers when they test new industry devices. If you check the reviwes on the net for HTC TYTN 2 or HTC Cruiser (700&600eur) you will find out that those devices are everywhere rated like a next best thing after the Star Trek Tricorder. The bare fact they don't have hardware drivers (because HTC never made one) noone even finds out or mentions. And you don't need to be an expert to find that out! They are so under-performing and they are so slow! Quick comparison of those products with few years older products will show the difference immediately. Its like someone is testing ATI or NVIDIA latest graphics cards without the drivers and RECOMENDS them as top gear! What the hell they were testing?!!! Damn I`am so pissed and so disapointed... PS (No problems without the driver ??) Some comparisons ... PS. I was hoping so much for this phone... I`am waiting to see what Toshiba G810 Portege smartphone will offer...

  • I don't know why HTC is so fussy & doesn't want to let the logo peel off (for a high priced device they can laser engrave the HTC logo) Go and buy a good casing to stop this. This is the only option. If you forget to do so, within one month the paint will peel off.

  • Has anyone experienced the paint peeling off as described in the "review"? I am planning to buy this phone next week, but the the thought of the paint peeling off quickly worries me.

  • What is the market price of this phone in india??? Seems great. i mean the proccessor speed ram rom all are upgraded. Thanks/.

  • The spec sheets I saw late last year mentioned an onboard electronic compass. Has that now been left out of the device?

  • Hi, Can you change the font on the home page (Today) of the HTC touch cruise? thanks

  • it is avaible

  • Works like a charm with my 8GB Sandisk

  • and I am really interested if it can take the 8 Gb micro SD? Have it with the 4 Gb and it works just perfect! So anyone? Waiting for some answers :)

  • With the "transcriber" it is really easy to type - once you get to fix your writing - and it will be easy as 2x2! GPS works great, not slowing at all, easy gets the signal and keeps it running good! I am using the iGo , because the graphics are better, still haven't tested the TomTom that it came with, so I can't tell :) If you want to type fast, just buy a BT Keyboard and thats it :) And now I am sure - thats the best you can get at that moment - little confused about the new HTC P3470 - 2 steps backward for HTC :( Cool design, but NO Wi-Fi and NO 3G, and 200 Mhz processor - ??!!?!

  • HTC cruise is by far the best touch device out. I have had mine for a month or so, and have had no problems at all. Wouldnt think twice.

  • No need to worry about the keybord as you have a number of choices to choose from (most of them are optimized to be used with bare hands and ofcourse it is freely shipped with the device. So it is a quite nifty feature). I specifically like this device rather than tyTn ii as you can type anything using a single hand. Would be handy when you are travelling. GPS is OK as this comes with a 20 channel GPS receiver. Cool device

  • Sam, you can download the user manual from gsmarena itself. Just below the htc touch cruise picture see carefully; you will find a link named Manual (it should be the 5th or 6th link). Click to download the manual from there.

  • does a 8GB memory stick work on the htc touch cruise ?????

  • Any information about USER MANUAL to download from internet?

  • hi dookie will sms hard 2 type ? n the gps display so slow . is it ok ?

  • the device is great! I love it :) I just bought it a week ago and it is more than perfect, even without the drivers!!! With the drivers it will be just "divinity" :) Video is OK, if you want perfect video, just buy a camera. Wireless works great, GPS receiver - no problems at all. TOUCH-Flo - perfect , very comfortable! Photos, even without the flashlight - perfect! At daylight - more than perfect :) In conclusion- very stylish phone!! Great business device, outstanding battery - the best that you can buy at that moment!

  • Hmmm ... nice phone, but without the video driver issue resolved I wait for Sony's X1 ... which has WM and iphone format :-)

  • Hi dokebi, Ya thanks. It is indeed Q3 which is July onwards. It'll be rare for two different companies to have the same problem(video driver). So let's look fwd to it. Btw, Touch Cruise was advertised in Singapore papers y'day (Starhub).

  • does anyone know if this phone is balackberry connect capable? I am thinking of getting one but need a blackberry connect capable phone

  • Anyone knows when this will be released in Singapore? Can't wait to get the hands on this device. Hope both Starhub and Singtel will release with the postpaid packages (unlike the touch dual which was not released by Starhub)

  • HTC is cool, I have one, It can work on all network in the Philippines, is all automatic you just use the network wizard function, I even use it as a modem for my laptop, and you can browse the net on your phone alone , but I got a problem , my gprs is ok but I cant recieve and send MMS. I tried going to the customer service but the said is all set but still I cant. But anyways GPRS is cool enough

  • to SingDude; nuvifone looks great, however garmin states on their web site release date of q3, which is july. hope it's worth the wait for you.

  • Technical Question: Does anyone know if this cruise use the electron sensitive touchscreen technology like the iPhone, or does it use the standard pressure sensitive screen?

  • I guess we turn to different phone, having being waiting for long. Not yet released in middle east

  • Fahrettin, yes, there's an FM radio on the device. You can search it and you can even find screenshots of the radio application running.

  • As a follow-up to my last comment, the one in Tagalog. I'd like to translate Eugene's question and my answer for everyone's sake. Eugene asked if this phone is ever going to be released in the Philippines. I replied and said that he could check Greenhills, which is a place in Metro Manila that has a lot of vendors selling cellphones. Also, I'd like to add that if this is ever going to be released officially in the Philippines, then the major carriers would begin to sell the phone. You can inquire with these carriers to find out if they have plans of supporting this phone to give you peace of mind.

  • Even though FM radio was mentioned in the specifications, it was mentioned nowhere in the review.Isn't there an FM radio in the device?

  • but nuvifone design not very nice ... all of the function same as touch cruise?

  • Forget the mass action against HTC. Nuvifone is a much better smartphone.

  • tis phone gps so slow . y ?

  • ei singdude ... nuvifone when will realise ? where can i check the specifications? the phone better than HTC touch cruise ?

  • why htc phone does not have symbian os software spicaly rabic it is the most easy way to write in arabic window 5.0--------------------can i instool symbian os in htc phone

  • I already mentioned earlier forget Touch Cruise. They can shove the video driver issue up their arse. Nuvifone is just less than 3 months aways!!!

  • wat happen 2 the drivers?

  • once the driver is released, you will be able to install it yourself. I hope something comes up soon, because it's about time!!!

  • anybody found a solution for the drivers problem? and does anyone know if in case htc found the solution, will i have to send it to them or can i do it myself?

  • Well since cruise supports SD2.0 virtually it should support all. 2GB will work as a charm. Not quite sure of other capacities. Good news is that SanDisk has announced about a 32GB microSD card in CES 2008. Not sure of the price tag and release date.

  • what is the maximum capacity of the card slot for the touch cruise?

  • do not buy this phone, this phone is a garbage, almost any other sofware you install on it will slow this piece of crap down a lot. this is impossible to use full power of it because of the cpu, customer service is the shity one...

  • And to add to my comments you should definitely experience Opera Mobile (the Java Version) not the built in Opera or Windows browser because this mostly matches the Iphone browsing experience which as far as I can see is the Iphones only real quality if you dont care about music and video because the other applications are totally c**p.

  • Damn this phone is good. Video playback aside (which is not that big an issue for me) it is way better than the Iphone that I spent some time with because of the choice of applications and the built in GPS for starters. I have to say I would love the Iphone with the Windows Mobile platform personally. Once you have added a few of your favourite applications this is simply awesome. Despite claims of good battery life I have not found that. I probably play with it too much!

  • Can anyone tell me why the SAR value for this mobile seems to be 0.88 w/kg and yet for the XDA Orbit 2 it seems to be 1.72 w/kg? I thought that the mobiles were the same. Thanks

  • Hmmm......So many questions relating to the comparison of iphone & HTC devices. First of all I would like to mention that both are not the same (runs on different software platforms) IPhone is rich in graphics and ofcourse is a good music player. The finger mechanisms used are also really innovative. It is larger is size. However it lacks so many features, like 3G, GPS, FM radio, 3rd party software support, etc.... I think it is not worth for the price(remeber apple slashed the price by a 100 bucks after couple of months, and even the apple fanatics were angry about that) Of couse there are people who has put some 3rd party software into iPhone(which is commonly known as jailbreaking). However if you do this you will automatically lose your warranty. As per to HTC devices they run on windows mobile platform. HTC touch cruise runs on windows mobile 6. On top of this they have their own touch cube(this is not innovative as the apple's one; but still it is cool) Cruise has QVGA (quarter VGA) screen and there is a known video driver issue (but it is not that much slow; and I believe sooner or later HTC will address this). Apart from these, this will be a superb device to consider as it additionally has 3G, radio, GPS and most of all support to thousands of third party software to play around with. Simply said iPhone is a sealed box with limited content where as HTC cruise is the opposite. So if I'm you I'll definitely go for the Cruise over the iPhone Hope now you know what to chose...

  • i'm 17 years old and i'm going to change my mobile so which is more conveniant for me as a highschool student? the touch cruise or the the iphone, i know they are totally different but i'm confused

  • damn,the phone is great!!! i am already using it about 1 week and i am soooooo happy.Btw video (divX) is very smooth at 320x240 ;)

  • bad fone ,underpowered and being ripped off try here for explanation>>>>>>

  • r u crazy - IPHONE? The HTC is much better that the iphone, in fact there is nothing in common! I had the same second thoughts but I realized, that the problem is the software and as soon as the proper driver is released - this HTC will be the best on the market, and sooner or later, the driver will be available :)

  • i was waiting for this mobile to come out for a long time but when i knew about the drivers issue i'm having second thoughts now, should i buy it or should i get iPhone? please helpppp

  • i was waiting for this mobile to come out for a long time but when i knew about the drivers issue i'm having second thoughts now, should i buy it or should i get iPhone? please helpppp

  • Hmmm....... the URL is too long to be pasted. just type the following lines in a single line and paste in the browser leak-is-this-a-new-htc-touchflo- gui-called-manila-update-2

  • Oops........... here is the correct URL. This is code named 'Manila'. Manila

  • Ye.... I agree nothing is perfect. But for the money you invest you have to have some decent video play back, etc... Check this out. The next version(beta) of the HTC touch flow interfaces have leaked. But as per to reviews it is slow on existing devices (if you have guts, you can install and try). This is meant for devices with VGA screen. So very soon HTC is planning on some VGA device(s) (hope that will have the full caliber of the video drivers)

  • Nothing is perfect... I was about to order when i found this ... ****************************************** HTC Users Consider Class Action Lawsuit Over Lack of Driver Support ****************************************** >>>

  • the tom tom gps have 2 pay money ????

  • The hardware is capable of the full quality video playback. However there is no proper drivers to provide that (HTC seems not to bother about this). All depends on the day the drivers are released. Go to for more details.

  • Well I didn't get !? Is it a software problem or a hardware that this device has??! I am about to buy this HTC , I just love it how it looks and how it feels in my hand! Had an HP before that but I just have to own that one! Someone help me, is it fixable that problem, or "fixable" with th next phone from HTC??!

  • Yes, it has TouchFlo.

  • well... trust me... the sales of HTC will not go down. unless lots of operators not taking it to their countries.

  • is it messaging good ??? will hard 2 type ???

  • update after 6 days of use: Camera: picture quality with daylight is quite ok, with low light or at night it is very poor Video playback: quality is extremely bad, if you move the camera or if anything moves on screen you get terrible blurr Internet: when you pull down on the scroll bar reaction is to slow (lag), using the wheel and when you press it to 4 directions you get better results. A proper graphic driver must be made available and better now then tomorrow !! Otherwise I am still very happy with all other functions of the Touch Cruise I am using. Give us this drivers HTC and we will be happy clients and you will sell tons of this phone!!Wait too long with update and you will see sales go down fast.

  • yes, it does.

  • dear all Is this master peace has a software like HTC touch (flo cube thing)or not

  • As I wrote, I did exactly like in the documentation and it didn't work. It is a bad documentation or some phones have bugs that don't allow a hard reset. But, I see, for some people it is hard to believe.

  • HTC Touch Cruise Polaris P3650 hard reset

  • Well O2 xda orbit 2 has 1,72 w/kg sar, htc touch cruise has 0,88 sar but How this is possible when O2 xda orbit 2 = htc touch cruise = htc polaris

  • Phone him good no really well YES!!!

  • I have been using this phone for 3 days now. There is no better smart phone on the market. Amazing device. The video performance needs improvement, but video is not very important to me. I have used GPS with tom tom cards for whole europe, excel, camera, internet, email, calendar, sms, mms, the phone, you name it and I am extremely satisfied with this phone. In Switzerland it is available now at digitec.ch for CHF 809 and you get 190 CHF reduction if you prolong your contract with swisscom. The touch screen is absolutely responsive enough for everything I did so far (minus the video).

  • that is good

  • Who is a better HTC Touch or HTC Touch Cruise.Please advise me.

  • i'm in canada and have this phone for about 2 weeks now, all i can say is i never had a windows mobile si good, it is fast and so nice. the graphic for me are just perfect, my movies,gps is just normal I LOVE IT

  • I had a TYTN II, but is stolen. I try to make a decision between HTC Touch and HTC Touch Cruise. I know TYTN II is a better one, but anycase pls advise me.PLSSSS:)

  • Personally speaking, I can say that HTC products are good. But the strange thing is why it keeps hanging. Irregardless of whatever condition it is. I had a Dopod C730 which was excellent. After that, I went for a Dopod U1000.It was the worst experience I ever had. It hangs at least 10 to 15 times daily with its Bluetooth connection going off on its own. HTC Customer Service sucks!

  • tis phone graphic no good ??? i planing buy tis phone .....

  • There is a lot of rubbish going around about this company on false bases. SARS is just an example. People with a real personality disorder and of course a lot of time (lack of social life and perhaps employment) to dedicate for this as they want to force the company to do what they want. I dont care less about graphics through games and movies. Thats not why I buy it. Beside the GPS works fine even if jumping frames as the youtube (TyTn II) shows. And I dont really know if this is the case with cruise as well. Just cork it and what you want to write att TyTn II instead of the cruise. I am now more determinat in pruchusing this. I live in Sweden and sickned by both SE and Nokia for there bricks.

  • "1.72 W/kg SAR"??? i read from the manual it says "0.888 W/kg @10g (CE)"???

  • upsss i was waiting for this device.but now i will not buy.ok what will i buy???

  • question: i have a eten x500 pda phone and i want to change it with htc touch cruise. what is yours opinion?

  • Odd! but it seems every link at Qualcomm site directing to the MSM7200 chip is directing back to main page!!!

  • >> Is it HTC Radiation - 1,72 W/kg SAR ???? The FCC requires 1.6 or less so that would disqualify the device for the US market.

  • IVM is just right.slower stuffs just make me feel lazy in operating.

  • I have just bought one. It worked for 1 hour. I followed the instructions from brochure �Read Me First� and I set a password 4 digits, then all worked wonderful. After a turn off then on it asked the password but the touch screen didn't work at all. I read the main manual it said that it had a soft reset button, I pressed that one but still got to screen to enter the password and the touch screen still didn't work. I tried then a hard reset (GPS button plus Internet button plus soft reset button, keeping longer on hold the GPS and Internet buttons) to erase all personal information. It didn't work it gets just in soft rest, no message on screen like �This operation will delete all your personal data...� as the manual says. Impossible to do a hard reset after many planned attempts. The phone is stuck with no working touch screen. After several soft resets it says that I entered too many times a wrong password and to enter a1b2c3 then to try again; but no keyboard on screen and the screen is not responding to any touch. Piece of crap for $750.

  • Is it HTC Radiation - 1,72 W/kg SAR ????

  • It is very bad news to me. I have been waiting for this phone to show up, but now HTC is forcing me to look for something else. Worst thing is the way they justify their intentions. It is very disappointing.

  • Thanks dear friends for pointing it out! Its just like buying a Ferrari with its accelerator locked to 100mph! Ofcourse you can drive it and it has the engine power. But just cannot perform to its power. I QUIT!

  • I'll not go for this device until HTC provides a proper graphic driver. It is sad to hear that HTC is justifying the poor performance (even there are several videos to support this). It shows their so called dedication towards a better service for their valuable customers. Also it is a absurd nonsense to say such a comment when similar competitors are able to get most performance out of the same Qualcomm processor. It is also sad that Qualcomm is keeping silent on this (Maybe they don't want to lose their customer HTC; but HTC doesn't have a heart/ dedication towards their customers. Please don't try to justify the issues, try to fix them coz customers are putting in a lot of money into these devices, hence they have the right to request for the maximum out of it (especially when the hardware is capable, and when the software can't bring the maximum out of it) Finally HTC you are best so far in providing WM devices. Don't let your name drop because of some issues of this kind.

  • I don't want a full multimedia.. I just want fair value for my money. Is it too much to expect? If i'm going to buy a phone with GPS and maps but its graphics drivers are slow, what is the idea?

  • OMG!!! If u want a multimedia phone Cruise is not for u.Take a nokia (lol) or a Eten (lol again).The fact is that Cruise is a GREAT phone-pda EVEN WITHOUT THE DRIVERS,its stability is fantastic,unlike the other ppc phones with 64mb ram.

  • Hmmmm.. If the Touch cruise really IS slower, than why not to buy old 3300? Looks quite similar, with exception of better(?) touchscreen and 200mhz processor.. WM6 is not problem to download....(no need for 3G). And a lot cheaper.... Have someone switched these two? Thnx!

  • OUTSCH! It is not good! I was waiting 4 this device too. And looks like bye-bye HTC... Spend a lots of cash for underperforming device... That's not my style! Sad....

  • Was waiting for this model for few months but thanks to htcclassaction.org in pointing out the facts and truth. Am droping this for good (unless of coz HTC do something b4 i purchase my new mobile).

  • Oh dear oh dear oh dear what have we here?? Yet another company taking poor old joe public to the cleaners and thinking they can get away with it. I wanted an HTC TOUCH CRUISE, and was gonna ask anyone else who wanted one on vodafone but couldnt get one cos vodafone say they have no plans to sell or even support the phone, to email vodafone (UK) and give them a flea in their ear. Having just read the HTCCLASSACTION.ORG WEBSITE and carefully studied all the videos and comments, i have to say i wouldnt touch one with a bargepole now. Does anyone know of a similar phone with exactly the same features that i might be able to replace it with???

  • Don't Buy this phone or any other with Qualcomm MSMXXXX HTC has refused to develope proper drivers for the graphic processor built in which causes this phone to run at a substandard rate much lower than much older phones.

  • Hex-hunting HTC for there products is an act based on regressive behaviour. Just drop it and buy something else if you are not satisfied. Basically there is a lot of reviews on the internet of which some claim them to have done this and that. I am preordering the cruise and don't care much about graphics at all. Just lets your lips rest and propagate for your bad call instead of trying to undermine the company. Its a piece of sand, metal and oil after all. Give it a rest and get a life,

  • Does this phone can record video? If yes in which resolution? Thanks for answer! Sam

  • well i would hold off buying the htc touch cruise go to htcclassaction.org and u will see that they cripple the device making it slower then the older device such as the camera,video play back, and worst the touch screen when being use cause alot of lag which is really bad for surfing internet on it and games overall is just buggy and htc response is to buy another phone and not fixing it they have said they will fix it but it seems like they just stalling from the different response people r getting overall try to ignore this if u can this company has basically gave us the finger and left us dry

  • Please see this website for details on what 0FjN posted:

  • the neotec wireless have de best price

  • Bertu Please tell us how this phone compares to Nokia N95 8G ! Are you glad you sold your Nokia to buy this one ?

  • Buy just Nokia and iPhone. HTC and Windows Mobile are a way too complex for simple minds. Slow processors, buggy drivers and so on, scary stuff for your quiet sleep.

  • I was eagerly waiting for the Cruise to be out, but with what I have read today, and knowing that my previous, very bad phone HP RW 6828 was an HTC outsourced, I don't really know what I'm gonna do.

  • Please take a look at this site for details on the below post.

  • Don't Buy this phone or any other with Qualcomm MSMXXXX HTC has refused to develope proper drivers for the graphic processor built in which causes this phone to run at a substandard rate much lower than much older phones.

  • its good for smart pepol smart pepol smart phone

  • The camera is quite good in daylight outside, in low-light situations and inside it is quite bad.

  • just to let anyone in the uk who is waiting for this, it has been delayed untill the 4th feb it will be free with co pilot on a 40 pounds 18 month tariff

  • please tell me about the camera...was it above average or mediocre?

  • hi , to that one that is confused to buy the n82 . I just sold my n95 8gb to buy the cruise!! before the n95 i had the touch and regret the change !!!!

  • To any owner of this beauty, how is the battery life????

  • Now the retailers I met moved the stock date to Jan 27. Uhmm.....

  • i am little confused about this phone. is there any problems in it??? if it is then please tell me....

  • SDHC support means that 32gigabyte card will work in Cruise.

  • What is the expanded memory capability? The HTC TILT claims 32 GiG MicroSD. I have not seen specs on the touch cruise.

  • iphone sucks htc tc rocks!!!!!!

  • I am trying to choose a phone to purchase and cant decide between the nokia N82 and the touch cruise. I know the N82 has more features, but i am captivated by the touchscreen and the windows mobile OS of the cruise. My primary concern is the screen colours and resolution, can anyone give me advice on how to choose?

  • AYEAH! This phone really sucks because it does not have interchangeable telephoto lenses, and it is impossible to make macro photos. There is no hot shoe for the external flash... there is no way to change the aperture and shutter settings... Guys, are you insane, or what? Do you want to buy a photocamera or a PDA?!

  • The best smart phone would be probable one with alphanumeric display and just console mode of operating then it would have stable and performing video drivers for the most frustrated people.

  • so their is a problem with the htc touch cruise so does that mean we should not purchase this phone , but if we decide to does all the problems be covered by warrenty?

  • 1)there is a camera which recocnizes your hand when u use it to write 2)the camera is good and proper 3)for the first 10 times there is no problem. 4)no it is fast 5)no it is not

  • Hello, Thank you for your last reply to my question, but i have 5 more and if i get the answers for these five i will surely buy the phone. 1)What is "handwritng recognition"? 2)Is the camera good and proper? 3)Does anything happen to it if it falls down two or three times? 4)Is it slow in performing? 5)Is HTC Touch Cruise better than HTC Touch?

  • Please read if you consider purchasing an HTC phone. There's a huge problem with video drivers. --- "HTCClassAction.org What is this all about? The latest SmartPhone and PocketPC devices from HTC (High Tech Computing) are supposed to be the most powerful devices on the market. And in theory, they are indeed real powerhouses of mobile technology. There's a catch though: HTC has neglected to include the necessary drivers needed for the devices to come to their full potential. What does this mean? This means our really expensive HTC phones (the TyTN II is about $700) are grossly underperforming. In fact, in many things, these devices operate even slower than HTC's (and competitors') two years older models - see the videos under navigation for demonstrations, especially the TomTom video (TyTN II vs Magician) is a terrific example. "

  • in my opinion the only disadvantage of this ppc is the screen resolution

  • can anybody tell me the disadvantages of this phone?

  • the one in the youtube website shows it is black on the front edgeing , but the one on this site shows it is grey on the edging? , i called the expansys people and they said it is gun powder colour the entire phone so it must be two different colours , what do you think ?

  • To amandw : It may seem black but it is not! It is the same as the one in the photo at gsmarena

  • Why high one why :) What a bear :)

  • i dont think you press the screen u must have hit it with something for it to crack...

  • i just got this phone this morning. the screen just cracked when i press the screen with my finger!!!! i thought it's touchscreen but why the screen crack????

  • this question is for Paps ,, you mentioned that the htc touch cruise on expansys just looks like black but their is only a grey /silver version does that mean the version on expansys is dark grey , like is that phone come in all grey that means , and the one on this website gsm arena is silver?

  • Has anyone expanded the memory is a microSD, what is the max GiG microSD card can the Touch Cruise handle

  • PAPS Posted It is a nice pda. Has also some disadvantages. It comes with 65K colours only. iphone has 16Milion colours. The display is only 240 x 320 pixels The iphone has double(480x320). The sound quality is much better on the iphone. The same happens also with the speaker. On the other hand as a pc, touch cruise is better. I am glad the screen is the only disadvantage on this phone. Cause i can tell you the IPHONE is MARRED with lots of dissapointments.

  • it has QVGA screen not VGA, very good ppc!

  • ohh another thing is that the camera dont have a flash and under low lights it moves slow but still takes good pics but when you are outside it works great. :) YAYA!

  • Well about the texting i post last time i was wrong it good i love this Cell.... A++++++

  • It is a nice pda. Has also some disadvantages. It comes with 65K colours only. iphone has 16Milion colours. The display is only 240 x 320 pixels The iphone has double(480x320). The sound quality is much better on the iphone. The same happens also with the speaker. On the other hand as a pc, touch cruise is better.

  • there is no black version.There is only grey/silver version.It may seem black on expansys but it is not.

  • Is the black version gonna be avaible? expanys shows it black but are they really gonna get it in black colour ?

  • VGA screen would be a problem for a 400MHz cpu.

  • very disappointed by the sound issued from the earphone plug: not loud enough to listen to music properly. maybe pb due to the serie???

  • 240 x 320 :-( The guys from HTC again disappoint :-( Great specs but most of them are almost useless on such resolution. There are 640x480 mobile phone screens for years, marketing screw up the things again. Expect the larger resolution next year, I guess.

  • Hello, fellow HTC Fans! I have been reading that some of you have purchased the HTC Touch Cruise and are starting to receive them. Please friends, I am asking that you give others on this site some detailed web sites. Like the person using the "dst" name. Can you please share the actual web site with the rest of us.

  • dying to hav 1 .could someone let me know if its released now in asia (shanghai)?its a beautiful phone and lots of features,the best phone i can say these day....am using HTC unit and i will disposed it and get one of these..regards to all HTC fanatics

  • Better you are going to China to find this phone.

  • I got it from an online store(I think they are the first able to deliver )from Romania,520 euro unlocked English version.

  • so what if its the orbit 2 from o2? htc makes phones for o2..

  • Splendid! Just got it today and I'm very happy.Though it's my first WM device I think it's one of the top of PPC world.The Touch Flo makes the difference.More words latter, I can't stop the play...

  • this is the orbit 2 with o2

  • HP 610c or HTC cruise? Which will you choose and why? I am a little confused on this. Both has some ups and down. And HP still not released. I have already called them so many times but getting extended.

  • the price is good as well I still have a doubt cause waiting for HP iPAQ 610 release.. cause looks like a piece of cake with normal keybord and gps.. all da best hitec slaves =]

  • i think there is no flash for camera. with out flash it's very bad if we have good resolution camera also.

  • is tis a slide fon as well?

  • Such phone doesn't work in Canada because it is too cold there and its touch screen freeezes and gets insensitive.

  • Am in the USA NYC to be exact got mines today love it still trying to figure outsome features the navi wrks great too...

  • it is perfect pda

  • why is the screen black & White

  • hi everyone, i have the nokia n95 8Gb and i am switching back to htc cause they are great,i will defenetly choose the touch cruise !!!!

  • with out a doubt, this will be my new phone or do i have to say new pocket comp. The looks are great even as the specs. I think that HTC is walking a head with this one. The design department of HTC has done a great job. Is there a better phone for sale right now? If there is, please let me know.

  • How many years of warrenty within Europe??

  • Confused. In PDADB.net & Europe.htc.com , it says 2100 Mhz Europe & 850/1900 Mhz for USA for 3G. In Expansys.ca, it only says 2100 Mhz Europe. So... what is the truth here? Europe phones only have 2100 Mhz and USA Phones only have 850/1900??? HTC Kaiser would be the best bet then...

  • LOL @ the comment that this phone is not for Canada! Well I got a surprise for you! Since this is a GSM phone, it will work on Rogers/Fido network! Not sure about retailers, but if you are in Canada, this phone will be available from expansys.ca for around $700CAD + tax.

  • Nokia is based on Symbian OS, an OS that is obsolete and with too few tools for software development. Also Nokia doesn't have touch screen, a cool feature for smart phones.

  • Such phone is not for Canada, it is not approved. Buy just the phones from Rogers, Bell and Best Buy.

  • it charges the phone while plugged in to computer as do all window mobile phones

  • Hi all Looks like an amazing phone. I have to decide between a Nokia N95 8Gb and an HTC Touch Cruise - which one should I go for? I would appreciate your expert opinions ! Thanks Nico

  • This phone looks great. One question: does HTC support international warranty or is the warranty bound to the country where the product is bought? Thanks.

  • does it have wallpapers for us to choose ?? or can we download it ?

  • Main disadvantage is it has single slot for charger, headphone and USB connectivity cable. It means you cannot use HSDPA with your PC for long time.

  • LG KS20 has fewer features than HTC Touch Cruise (LG KS20 does not have GPS). The battery life is longer in HTC. The screen in better in HTC. Furthermore no warranty that LG will really manufacture their prototype.

  • I would wait for LG KS20 to launch in malaysia due to the weight and design ... KS20 design is far more better compare to cruise. The comprehensive review on HTC Cruise can be read at

  • does this phone have remote desktop connection like other wm6?

  • Friends There will be much competion. As cell phones get better, the competion will be greater. Right now the HTC Cruise is still champ in my book. It has a better battery life than the O2-ORBIT. And it just looks better. Althought it doesn't have TV OUT, a IR Port and a QWERTY keyboard, Im still getting one. The choice is yours.....

  • GREAT Phone with poor rating! Just wondering how unfair are the judges! O2 orbit phone scored higher then HTC. Come on Guys! O2 OEM from HTC, and what makes them a better phone!?

  • does any one know what accessories come inside the box with the htc touch cruise?

  • dear don sure u received your phone already, please share with us your xperient.

  • Honestly,it is a better choice.Get it .

  • to sdo: if you want a "portable pc" go for HTC cruise, if you want a Multimedia phone go for Nokia

  • Awesome, I can tell ya now that this kinda phone will be rare in the US. I don't even have it yet and I love it from just reading and looking at it on youtube.

  • Oh crap, I forgot Tuesday is a holiday. Oh well, I hope it will be delivered on Wednesday.

  • Thanks for the reply. I found one on online auction. And I just purchased it. I can't wait to receive it on Tuesday.

  • Also, to the previous poster. The HTC touch cruise I believe is just now being release on the european and asian markets. Doubt you will see this in the US for awhile. Look at the AT&T Tilt. It's a HTC TyTn II that's missing some cool features from the original.

  • Already puchased mine from www.simoncells.com. The site is US based, so I take it he's unlocking and importing them. I took the 2 year warranty the site offers. Already have AT&T sending me a SIM card with an unlimited data and text package. Choose AT&T because of their 3G network availibity compared to the other US carriers. Can't wait for this baby to come in this week.

  • Can anyone please tell me if this is better than the HTC TyTNII . I really and a smartphone for battery life and multimedia functions . I would apreciate very much an honest answer , thanks !

  • Listen folks This is one of the best phones anyone can get. It does way more than a great deal of phones today, including the iphone. If you are looking for quality this is the phone you wanna get. If you can live without a qwerty key pad, no tv out, and no ir port, then this is it. Just compare the Stats on GSM ARENA. I'll be getting one as soon as i can. Take care ya'll

  • Hi, I am in the process of upgrading my contract with O2. Currently they don't have the Touch Cruise but they have the Orbit II coming out next month. If you look at the specs then the only real difference is the WiFi. Are they in fact the same phones?

  • Will you use the keyboard a lot. You're not going to write an essay on the your PDA are you? Then go for TOUCH CRUISE. Keyboard attracts dirts and make the phone fatter. No silicone case for it.

  • As long as you use WM5 or 6, you can use Skype. Although I haven't tried, Skype works with all Window Mobile devices. It's software dependency not hardware

  • You should buy IPhone if: 1. Use AT&T service plan including unlimited data access 2. Youtubing Buy HTC Touch Cruise if 1. Want to have total control over phone. (Hundreds of free softwares, games available, create your own software etc) 2. UNLOCKED. YOu can use with any Sim cards. I had and still have the P3300. My cousin has the IPhone. I still love mine. SO I definitely go for HTC Touch Cruise especially it has more RAM and ROM now.

  • So does anyone know if this Unit is better to get than the TyTN II i someone told me the only difference is one has a keyboard andthe other doesn't. can anyone share some light! thanks

  • look at this video

  • to NeeBud: jeje well lets start whit: the iphone is not a smart phone, if you need a multimedia phone, for music and videos and pictures, or surf the web fast, the iphone does a great job, but if you want a smartphone that can check your hotmail, chat whit msn, that have an internal GPS antena and you can install any software whitout hack... well ask this to yourself, do you like an stilus(litle pencil to touch screen) whit you phone? if you hate that buy the iphone, but realy i hate the iphone, and i have a ZUNE 80 jeje love it. well hope i help

  • to Don82: no there isn't a tv out

  • ...............i think it could be a little more rounder...the shape sucks...

  • Hi Does this phone has T.V output..........i read the review n there was nothing about the T.V outoput.........fantastic phone only if it would had a flash light

  • guys all i see is questions..no answers!

  • Does anyone know if it's better to get this phone instead of the Iphone? I guess what I'm trying to ask is if this phone is any better than the I-Phone & If it will work on the AT&T former Cingular network? Thanks

  • its 749 US dollars unlocked

  • the htc touch cruise is out now and avaiable for purchase on the internet unlocked version

  • if it have VGA screen, it would be no.1 PDA in the World :)

  • I'have sold my HTC Touch a month ago, just to buy the Cruise model. Also, 3G starts this December here in Brazil. If Touch was already a incredible cell phone, I just can imagine what to expect about Cruise.

  • its an amazing mobile batter than nokia MOBILES

  • HTC Cruise is already released (limited number) in Greek stores.Here is a little review:

  • I dont see it on HTC website... where did u found the news ?

  • Good news... It is launched - today! Check out the htc site :)

  • Hi, can anyone tell me if this device supports Skype? Thanks

  • this phone is toooo good

  • the device is very functional, and touchFLO is working similar to iPhone. you already can find some reviews in internet.

  • it looks very promising....

  • It needs a flash for video and photos and IR port

  • Guys is anyone got it ? if yes.. Pls tell us about it more Thx

  • Question, is the original touch similar to the Iphone where you can move things around and make them larger or smaller? And if not, will the cruise have that ability and will it be better than last? How does touch flo compare to Iphone interface? thanx eddie

  • Sdf, It is pre-order. The phone is not in stores yet.

  • In the Elite-Electronix is avaiable at 680$! I rly wanna one of these lovely devices! So did someone bought the touch cruise from this(and only) online reseller without problems before/until/after the buying??? Thanks. Cheers

  • o man...its just mind blowing..superb work HTC..waiting for it..gone mad for it.

  • I allmost bought the HTC tytn II now im going to whait for this one. He looks awsome and the more I read about it the more I love it, has everything I need for my work and more. Looks like we get it here in Iceland in the middle of Jan.

  • it's a nice phone the best thing is the microsoft mobile it's great

  • i was wondering with the GPS if i can use it where there are no maps and do landmarks.. i have the HTC 3600 with the built in GPS and tomtom navigator.. and when i travelled to Egypt .. and travelling in the desert.. i could not use it.. it was such a shame.. it will only tell you directions as a compas and the spead..but you can not save landmarks.. where you can return to it.. unlike the nokia N95.. any ideas?

  • 99 photos.....

  • here in ebay have one piece and i already saw another one....but just prerelease sample...http://cgi.ebay.com/Unlocked-HTC-Touch-­Cruise-HTC-Polaris-prerelease-sample_W0QQitemZ19­0181844376QQihZ009QQcategoryZ64355QQssPageNameZW­DVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

  • Tell us, where did you get HTC Touch Cruise and we will tell you where to get the new rom.

  • i have the HTC touch cruise. and needing to find a rom update for this. where can i get this file?

  • @Ali D Well I guess you've not heard of the Touch series before this, or you'll know that they're tuned for finger operation more than the stylus. I've got the touch keypad and keyboard on my TyTN and they work very well for texting and typing. I rarely slide out the keyboard these days.

  • I love the talk time... 7Hours for a PDA it is real good... Many powerful feature.... one drowback: ""65k color screen while it can go up to 256k in the case of touchscreen..

  • it's TOUCH screen, son. with your finger. so you're TOUCHING the screen with your FINGER when you text. get it right, son.

  • does it cost extra money or some sort of charge for using the gps on this phone?

  • this phone looks to be big ! forget iphone and nokia n95 8gn ! this 1 has class and windows on it along with 3g and touch. its a current king of all handsets i must say ! htc cruise a winner! will buy 1 !

  • There is a throrough review of the HTC Cruise at It has answers to many of our questions. If you are concerned about typing text, then read the review and discover how HTC has improved the TouchFLO interface to allow stylusless text input. In other words, you can now type using your fingure. There seems to be many other improvements compared to the original HTC Touch. Let you read it in the above review.

  • one question: Texting. don't tell me i still have to use the stylus to poke letters one by one. If this is the case, no point of upgrading other features when you can't even txt properly

  • Question: When my Qtek S100 has a dead battery, it loses its data after 30 minutes without energy. Is that because of Qtek S100 being an old device or the Qtek having an old Windows Mobile version? Will I have the same problem with this device? Thanks for your advise.

  • This is the stunning phone. With beautiful look and hell of features. I love it. I'll surely get it when it will com out.

  • Oh my goodness, this is a pocket rocket just like the other cruise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ILOVE IT.PLS LET ME HAVE ONE.

  • lol wtf. who are you talking to man? its not like HTC reads this. why the heck would you need to buy a new one every 2 to 3 months anyway?

  • HTC Touch Cruise to be released in Singapore in Dec or Jan. This is according to HTC office here. :)

  • i need d ate cotes of this mobile phone soon . i like this set vry much ..thanxs

  • Hi, I am a great fan of HTC products and i buy a new one every two to three months. I have been following you since you were manufacturing for I mate. I read about your company a lot and enjoy your products to the max. I even log on gsmarena.com every day to check out when the HTC shift will be out and all the new products that you come up with. I actually own the HTC 3600 with the built in GPS TomTom navigator. It worked perfect with me. I only had two concerns of which i thought you would target on your next generation. First of all the quality of the earpiece was very bad. it works perfect if things are quite around, however if it becomes noisy like in the street or outdoor you can totally loose the voice of the person talking to you. I hope you tackled this concern in your HTC touch cruiser. Another important point I always wished that you would do was the standard 3.55mm jack. This is such a relief when you have it in your device. Also, why don't you plug in a Carl Zeiss lense? I shifted to the Nokia N95 8G because of those things. another thing is the resolution in the screen. Nokia now uses the 16M color, and the HTC touch cruiser still uses the 65K resolution. Not even the 256K. I own now the HTC 3600 and the Nokia 95 8G. I am a Microsoft fan. Also i loved the GPS TomTom. But the video quality in the Nokia and the built in 8G are outstanding. It is like i have a video camera with me. But the GPS is very lousy. I did not send this email to Nokia to improve thier GPS for example, i sent it to you. Cuz i love HTC products and i tried it. I love the fact that i can Skype, listen to radio and navigate. Fantastic product. Unbelievable. But you have to work on the following things 3.55 mm Jack 16 M color or 256K Good quality of the earpiece Carl Zeiss lense I know that there are a lot of things that you have to take into account if you will add these things. and i know that you probably have thought about them earlier and there are limitations to them. Like for example the 16M screen will drain the battery fast. But check out the technology behind Nokia? If they did it, you can do it. I hope that my email will reach the person in charge of taking those decisions, and trust me if you take those things into account, your phone will fly off shelves and will be the best phone out there. Thank you Seif Hafez

  • Perfect pdaphone, the end of this month we can buy, fantastic.

  • After two weeks looking at it...man, its STILL ugly!!!!

  • The GPS is Sirf not 'crappy Nokia' GPS. I have the P3300 which is the predecessor of this, the GPS is fantastic with tomtom software.

  • so bad just 65kcolors... still in present generation...!

  • hello, Can someone tell me how is the gps, compared whit sirf 3. i have read some review, but im not very clear, is this like sirf or like C.r.a.p.y. nokia gps???

  • Rafsan, I don't blive there is any authorised HTC dealer in the U.S.A. The only way to have a HTC device is through one of the wireless carriers. Even then the carriers do not usually have the exact phone models that HTC directly sells. Alternately, some vendors in U.S.A who sell imported phones carry HTC devices.

  • meant to say "no"

  • @ Rafsan I've know idea what made you think that, but HTC has, in fact, sold 1 million original HTC Touch phones in 5 months.

  • Hey Rafsan, HTC sells a bunch of their products in the U.S.A through carriers such as Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T. Nonetheless, there is no comparison with the Nokia's and SE's.

  • you can check out the group buy over at howardforums: link www.howardforums. com/showthread.php?p=10263549#post10263549

  • Prefer O2 XDA Orbit II (same spec but more cool design)

  • Im just woundering how this type of companies run when very few people buy this type of phone. Everyone is running after nokia,samsung,se...

  • In our opinion the HTC Touch Cruise is undoubtly the best communication & Multimedia equipment actually on the market. The advantages are : 3G - HSDPA 3.6 Mbps ( Asus P535:3G- No 3G) EDGE- Yes (Asus P535: EDGE- No) BROWSER-(WAP 2.0/xHTML-HTML) (Asus P535:BROWSER-WAP 1.2.1/2.0) CAMERA-3.15 MP (Asus P535: 2.0 MP) STAND-BY- up to 450 hr (Asus P535: up to 200 hr) TALK TIME- up to 7 hr (Asus P535: up to 5 hr) GO FOR THE 'HTC TOUCH CRUISE' IF YOU KNOW YOU ARE THE SMARTEST !!!!

  • Rich, O2 phones are nothing but HTC. Only name change.

  • Is its screen from glass? Just then it might get some points over those with keypads.

  • Please help me, I want this PDA, it's amazing. But why I have to choose it for ASUS P535. TouchFlo menu can be installed to any WM6. and P535 is more cheaper..

  • Available in UK from 14th Dec. cant wait

  • Hey this phone looks sick Kunt also the specs are also sik Kunt so yeah buy it

  • Htc touch the bom! I like this phone i cant wait to have it.

  • 02 have got new xda orbit 2 coming out its same as htc touch cruise but better here is link for page cant wait...same speck as cruise...link is www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/07/o2-announces-o­2-xda-orbit-2-aka-htc-polaris-and-htc-touch-crui­s

  • The HP 610c is much better looking that this one. at first the htc looks nice, but when you take a closer look you see the real touch cruise :) i think i'll go with the HP

  • its amazing i will be waiting 4 this pda

  • Simply amazing. No noobs here !

  • This is hideously ugly - why not just upgrade the Touch, a beautiful piece

  • I still prefer the HTC TyTN II, I think its better, dont like tha fact that doesnt have a Keypad

  • this will be the perfect phone as of now... hope the price is affordable and the battery can last long.can't wait to grab it .

  • Is perfect!!!

  • This is a great phone, I do not know when it will available, I will certainly buy it

  • Though I am but a "rookie" in the feild of bussiness orientated phones I have come to love the HTC way of thinking, if compared to other such phones on the market it is clear that even if the HTC proccesor is not the best performing there are other features that clearly set it above the rest, HTC tries (and more often than not succeed) in bringing a new standerd to the 'smart phone/pocket pc' scope. As I am but a humble student I know that "price" does play a big role aswell, but taking into consederation what this "pocket pc" offers I think it is well worth every penny. I would like to thank HTC from the bottom of my heart for showing us mortals what can be accomplished with vision and dreams... this phone gets my thumbs up...

  • Improved look from touch and feature reach like touch...amazing...my next phone :)

  • Dont get too excited about WM6 devices. Try it out 1st if you have a chance to do so, coz you dont want to end up disappointed later. Belief me, in terms of OS, nothing beat Symbian, QNX, or Unixes. Having so many features stuffed in the small device like that and asking the processor of that speed to perform wonder is just plain dump and stupid.

  • can't afford it

  • This Fone is a BOMB has everything as when compared to SE P1. This will be my next phone n it has more than what iphone can offer...see the comparission video in youtube........HTC Thumbs Up!!!!!

  • I'm excited. I had the Touch for a while and loved it, just wished it had a few extras (better camera, better Processor, maybe add GPS). And what do you know, HTC heard my crys! So far this is what I'll sell my unlocked iPhone for.

  • this mobile from what i heard n seen seems to be the BOMB of this yrs mobile devices like the n95 n iphone...!it has everything u need in a phone unlike the iphone which lacks many basic features...and HTC products are amazing from what i heard..my friend has the tytn 2 and he loves it...so this phone is my next 1!!

  • My next phone :)

  • I personally like the fact that it doesn't have a keypad. Keypads make PDAs "fat" (by about 4 mm) and that's a big turn off for me.

  • @ex HTC user �Don't forget about the basic function of PDA...� I think the basic function of a PDA is back to Palm Pilot idea, a simple small device to store address book and taking short notes. Not the idea of nowadays PDA that combines phone with mini computer and capable of handling communication. Not to mention taking picture and playing music, radio, mp3, GPS, etc for entertainment. This is way off the idea of basic function of PDA. Lets forget about the bit and byte, to my opinion the decision to buy mostly base on: 1. Design, 2. Features, 3. Processor, 4. Price, 5. Peer group, 6. Promotion. Select your priority but those elements driving you to the conclusion. Back to the topic, I guess that you prefer HP over HTC, which is fine. Other may likes HTC over HP that also fine. Never look down to one product while over promote other. Ha ha ha �..

  • Touchflo could be useful for Tablet PC, devices with larger than 10 inches screen, the smaller are the screens the less useful the technology is because the fingers are too tick to select small user interface details.

  • htc knows just how to give what i refer to as a ''quench for outstsanding technology and efficiency''. HTC TOUCH really tpuched my heart of technology. it is what we've been waiting for, it's a MUST GET.

  • @Zhivago Yes. You are right. But please do not forget about one thing. Both HP's has keypad and keypad really helps while you need a write an email or sms or anything that need a typing a lot... and touchflo... I don't think it will helps you... Don't forget about the basic function of PDA... :)

  • i have a HTC Touch and now that i see this...i'm having second thoughts bout my Touch! bit thick for my taste but its quite complete... any know if it has internal GPS?

  • In Sweden you can start ordering the phone now from Webhallen. Not clear when they will be able to deliver it though. However this seems like the best phone on the market right now when you take everything such as available features, size and weight into account.

  • HTC you just blow away this misunderstanding called iPhone... I will get this product as soon as it is on the market. It has everything I need + a long battery life. HTC the only thing I can say is Thank You.

  • @ ex HTC user "tell me a reason why should I buy this product ?" You probably shouldn't, but if you still don't get it and think that this phone is the same as HP 910/610, here's what sets it apart: Size - HTC Touch Cruise is slimmer, narrower, shorter (smaller) than both HP products; Weight - HTC Touch Cruise is lighter than both HP products; Screen size - HTC's screen is, in fact, larger than that of HP 910; TouchFLO� touch-screen technology that allows finger-touch scrolling, panning, and photo zooming; Innovative 3D Touch Cube interface for quick and easy navigation; Live HTC Home� featuring time and weather display, quick launcher, and one-touch ring tone settings; Design - although everyone has different tastes, HTC looks a lot better than HP imho. CPU - HP has a faster CPU, but all other benefits really outweight it. With everything else being the same compared to HP and other similar devices, HTC Touch Cruise is clearly better. Looking forward to snatch this baby boy as soon as it's out. Cheers!

  • WOW .. it's way better than the htc touch in so many ways plus it's got the sexy touchFLO thing !!! that phone totally rocks .. i can't wait to get it .........

  • on mobilereview.com there is nice review of this phone. i read there that this device is SDIO compatible. is that possible considering it supports only microSD? please give your oppinions!

  • It has a nice specs, i hope its not buggy. One thing i hate on this phone is the miniUSB earphone socket HTC keep on using it, why not use standard socket instead like the rest of PDA Phone. The design also is not that impressive with that oversize trackwheel, why not be like HTC P3350 trackwheel. HTC seems to be changing what is suppose to be good looking phone and keeping what is suppose to be a standard earphone socket. But on the brighter side the hardware specs are really good and thats what most PDA users wants.

  • Man i dont no what others have an opinion of this phone, but this one is definatley lined above htc touch. My freind has htc touch n the speed of the internet and gprs is way beyond nokia's and Motorola's with just 200Mhz than Imagine this one has 400Mhz. Mind you that this is the only third phone of htc with an fm option. Htc is taking each n every review seriously and successfully manufactures a phone according the market surveys and needs. And please dont even compare it with iphone.....b coz everything that glitters is not Gold.

  • This could be the most complete phone of it's time.

  • @Zhivago I agree with you... it has a feature called touch flo...

  • @Stickerlifter Pls go and check the HP 910 series or HP 610 series... check all the features... they are all the same... I did not say this gadget is bad... I said that no killer feature (attractive feature) attached to this gadget which make people will have feeling that they has to buy or have it... thus HTC should do something better... like put VGA screen into this device... or big ROM to store more files beside big RAM which currently already 128MB... just imagine that I am using other brand... and you just act like you were a marketing team or sales team for HTC... tell me a reason why should I buy this product ?... since the feature almost the same with other brands... except if the price were lower than others...

  • Seems like they dropped the soft keys. I wonder why? Maybe its because the screen is one of those harder, finger-friendly ones, like the one on the Prada, SE P1 and iPhone.

  • @ ex-HTC user The name of the feature you were looking for is TouchFLO.

  • This one is probally the best of all. I was almost getting me a Kaiser, but after they released Cruise, with all Kaiser�s features, Im gonna wait a little more. Thats the big question. Some people say it will be available only in early Feb. Press releases say November or Dec. Any idea?

  • HTC cruise you are very beautiful and usefull i loveeee you and i want to purchase you even your price quite expensive....

  • @ex HTC user I think you live in the Star Trek century as you always look down to every device available in the year 2007. Ha ha ha�. How is the wheather there in year 2300...?

  • @MSNt You can see from its spec, buddy... there is no new things inside this toys... camera 3 MP ?... almost all new gadgets including those common phone already has it... even now they are better... HSDPA ?... almost all new gadgets have it... GPS ?... you check other brand like Eten... they has it... Processor ?... there are a lot of faster processor than this one... Thin body ?... check all those Korean brand... Are they combined into one device like this ?... Even normal smartphone also has these capabilites... From Nokia E series, Sony Ericsson P1... other competitor also trying to sell this kind of product... That's what I mean by unattractive feature... HTC should do better than this one... They should release something new which may attract a user from other brand to buy their product... or to keep a current customer not to look to other brand with better feature...

  • fm,auto focus,touch panel,gps,3.5g.... perfect fone!buy!

  • HTC sucks! The company needs to burn to the ground and its workers need to be killed. This phone has a terrible design and it is like a computer. Why do you need this when you have a laptop! Originally, phones were made for calling other people. Nowadays, phones have become computers are are more complicated to use. This is why we have laptops!

  • its good, but the width is thick. maybe its cuz of the 3mpcamera... but in all. it will own the iphone.. plus sd2.0 compatable. didnt sandisk come out with a micro sd 4gb and 8gb.. owns iphone no matter what...

  • Is better 10000% a iPhone!!! Is more complete: Quadband, Small, fine, little, 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM, Qualcomm MSM7200,400 MHz processor Edge,3G,WiFi,HSDPA,Bluetooth,Standard MiniUSB conection,Camera 3,15Mpx and second VGA videocall,FM Radio, Office, Media Player,GPS...and Free apps :-D

  • Are the Tom Tom maps the full versions, or only the 'city taster' I have seen mentioned? The GPS is less appealling if you have to stump up another c �60 in your home market just to get the benefit of it.

  • I have P3300, I thought it is the best, but new models from HTC are wonderful. Please do not let us to whait very long...

  • Toch cruise considered as very good model, but, i need to get the same product with Dual SIM cards, is there any future plan to have HTC products like the cruise with two SIM cards?

  • aldosari... if the screen was bigger it would affect the performane of this phone.think about it,bigger screen means more memory used...means opening up applications would take longer. anyways....from my experience with the HTC Touch - it was cosiderably slow, it responds better without the memory card and a few free-RAM applications.once i slot in a 1G memory card it lags.bought a 2G mem card later on but regretted it because it made the performance worse. Used the 1G mem card in the end. This was fixed with the HTC Touch Dual by having a faster processor and smaller screen but I dont need the QWERTY keypad. I'd get myself a bluetooth keyboard and have more fun with it. hopefully with the Touch Cruise all the processor and RAM problems would be fixed. I dont really need the GPS function but what matters is the speed and response. Hopefully this can perform like (or at least) the HTC P3600i even with the Qualcomm processor. Other features like the camera - I dont think HTC should concentrate too much on the camera aspect as I would prefer a proper camera which has more functions and features. Having a higher MP on a camera phone? Maybe having more functions or features would be better. (Which is why my 2nd phone is a SE K800i). My last say would be - need to wait for the phone to be in the market to get the touch and feel. That way I'd know what are the features that lack in the HTC Touch Cruise.

  • ok .. NOW thats a phone worth buying!!

  • Feature wise its excellent.However, the screen size should've been little bit bigger in my opinion the edges around screen take too much space.

  • Erm, Ex-HTC user - what do you mean by unattractive features? You've got GPS, 3G, Wi-Fi, 400mhz processor, 3.2mp autofocus camera, pocket office, touchflo interface all in a handset thats 15mm thick.....what exactly do you feel is missing? A Toaster? A lawn mower? A laser beam? Get a grip, the features are incredible for a handset this size.

  • Hi, I think this is a great device from HTC, it has every thing and the design is great. Do any one know when it will be available?!

  • all in one,great fone,but i want to buy black.

  • what a great phone..i fall 4 the 1st time i saw it...and i immedietly brought..htc touch..but htc touch doul is cool i think??? ya ka??...but just one the disadvantage the battery is bad.cannot use for long term..huhu

  • wow this is wut i call a cell phone perfection

  • I like that it allows custom ring tones, somthing the i phone doesn't allow to make more profit. also my post below V V

  • I was waiting for the HP iPAQ 610c to come out, but when finding out not until next year or even 2 month after '08 The new new shrif came to town and she is beautiful. I will buy her and exchange wedding rings.

  • Again and again... non-attractive feature, no-VGA display, cheap built-quality and unreliable after sales support...

  • Wowww A better iPhone!!! Too bad the name tag is not Sony Ericsson and it's yucky Windows OS!

  • It does support A2DP turns out. See manual page 166.

  • Looks awesome......the 400 MHZ processor wud be awesome..........lets see wat the pric tag on this one is.....shud be cheaper than the tytn...

  • Oh YES ... now that what I call an elegant phone that really rocks ... I am going to try to buy for christmas, or before! and in English would be even better HTC ... your price is Mine !!! ( ehm ... am I the first one who post? ... cool ;-) )

  • Seems a great phone. Too bad it hasn't got A2DP support..

  • Great! Another good reason for not to buy the iphone but with a 'coming soon' tag on it. Just what we need

  • my future phone, price at 650 cnd dollar

  • its the htc best seller the best of the best it has all in one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Seems like a great phone, but camera still with no flash? I know the phone's alaready packed with tons of features, but I don't really want to buy another camera phone on top of this (Ex: k850, N95, etc..). I wouldn't want to always carry a Digital camera with it either.

  • Finally, a Quad-band HTC Touch!! My next phone!

  • come on HTC, bring out your VGA displays already.

  • u dont they come up wid good display i.e 256l or 16m?

  • why you need infrared???

  • the best of the best if it can features 30 fps qvga video recording it will be great! but this is all-in one professionnal device.

  • N95 and P1i combined....

  • TyTN with Cube flash menu beats this hands down.

  • HTC TyTN II still far better.

  • I think there is no diff between this and the HTC Tyllin II

  • QVGA sucks. what's the point of having wifi with full html browser if you can't read anything on it only because the screen resolution is too low?

  • Seems great although the looks & design can be improved. Lacks QWERTY keyboard and infared otherwise its your perfect PDA/smartphone

  • best phone ever..

  • 850 too, so even a lot of the Americans will be happy too. SE, take note (and this is from a UK SE user) and GPS too, Woot! Woot! Woot!

  • it seems pretty sick it has every thing but high speed circuit

  • and 3G too

  • restyled HTC Touch? with the Touch duals better cpu and memorys. Hummh. And the WiFi is back :-)
