HTC Touch Cruise 09

Appsungs9SE+

Much like the similarly named Tom Cruise, the Touch Cruise is small and stylish, But unlike Tom it not a scientologist.

I just want to find out if it is possable to track the phone on its gps system . I know its an old phone but I like it and mine was stolen and I hate blackberry .

its very good. I have it for 5 years. there is no problem on my touch cruise 09

Saman

This phone is damn sad.It has a bad battery,sluggish UI and I'am dying to get a Htc Desire C.This phone is an insult to HTC.

abc

some are mistaken. i have been using n still using this phone its very good n reliable

I have had one of these phones for 4 years. It is a marvellous reliable phone. I love the handwriting recognition.

Minni

Don't buy this phone. It is an absolute joke! I've had it for almost half a year and I want to throw this phone at a brick wall. Its interface is ridiculously slow, it lags, some of the buttons are pointless (papagox etc)and you can't use the touch screen properly. Also, outdoors, you basically cannot see the screen. Texting is a nightmare as you can't type with your fingers, you use a fiddly stylus that is inaccurate. The settings take a genius to figure out. For example, the 3G capabilities are horrible. I turn it off, but at the end of the month, I received a $400 bill for data usage. Just overall, the layout of the menu's and programs are inconvenient and somewhat confusing. Also, I take rather good care of my belongings. I don't drop my phone or damage it. Yet, it was glitchy and I've observed my phone call one of my contacts without me even laying a finger near the phone. All in all, a horrid phone. Don't buy it! Cheers, Minni, Australia

This phone has good specs for a pocket pc, too bad it sucks. It's slow and lags like crazy and battery barely lasts 1 full working day with 30 mins of talktime.

whoever was asking this question the phone cuts of because of flex basically you have probably messed the flex up and it has broke you should put it on speaker it happened to my sony ericsson c905 gona gt this tho

Kostas

Hi to all, i want to ask some questions about this phone before i buy it.I will buy it from abroad (i am from Greece) and i want to know if there is an application to install greek language.Also is garmin compatible with this device?Thank you!!!!!

Juanita

I had this until it was stolen, and it broke my heart. Cos I loved this. Model aside, there was no glitch whatsoever. The interface was good, internet connection good, touch screen very good, basically, it was perfect except for 1 thing: hard to read under the sun. But one downside compared to all the ups? that's nothing.

unclenos

I found that this phone can browse internet and watch youtube much faster than iphone3g using Skyfire. The gps runs so fast, smooth & flawlessly using Mapking, Garmin XT or Google Map. Feels just nice in my palm and feels easy in my pocket too. I got both iphone and touch cruise 09. I don't need my laptop anymore on the go, I can do my banking using skyfire in touch cruise without problem.

you have a program wich is s3et up to automatically connect to internet to update something 9may be the weather, rssfeed or the quick gps. identify which one is and deactivate auto update. to stop that programs using gprs and force them to use just the wifi when available you have to go to start>settings>connections tab>connections>advanced tab>select networks and here put my isp to programs that automatically connect to internet

Sas

Pls comment which is Phone is good (HTC Touch 3G or Touch Cruise). Give the Pros and Cons of both.

Anonymous

excellent tool (Def 9/10 for business use) only drawback i found was the lack of a keyboard (as my fingers a bit too big to text on virtual on in screen). FAST, GREAT APPS, SIMILAR LOOK AND FEEL TO THE IPHONE. charges alittle slow but lasts well. great sound on calls, good stereo image and seperation with music on headset. needed a flash for camera but in very good light pictures are good. all my old PPC apps work (thankfully) and i am running the co-pilot and tom tom at the same time (so great for a test) i am a tom tom fan but co-pilot works very well. touch flo system works very well. got 6 email addresses on mine 8.5/10

chip_reyes

Need to check whether any Cruise 09 user face the same prob as mine.... internet connection suddenly connected to 3g/edge and does not disconnect back by itself. All the time it was my initiative to check and turn it off if it's on. Any setting that I should change?

HTC GUY

tHE Phone is not a problem to use. Its one of a knd and fun to use it. Just restart ur phone if u have some problems but don't forget u will lose all ur downloading files if not wll saved. U can't use theme for the htc cruise09 but u can get wallpaper. ain't that cool enough???

iqbal

save your themes in your device windows folder

hopeday

Pls all htc users, how do I change theme to the ones I have downloaded, when I go to setting-perssonal-today, all I see is the pre-installed themes. I read somewhere that we need to put our new themes in my documents which I did but I cant see them where themes are supposed to be. I use touch viva and I believe the settings are the same. Pls help!!!

Tanya

On a new Cruise09 seem to have a problem of charging Battery it never get full green unless do a SR then turn full green instantly.

Sniper2

I have to do a soft reset to get a full green charge on Cruise09 . Anyone has this problem and how to get it fix. Thanks!!!

Sean

Can anyone say whether or not you can use the keyboard/programs in landscape mode like you can with the Diamond2? On that note, can you install the Diamond2 keyboard (the letters pop up when you push) on this?

Certainly proven smart performance and stylish PDA Phone

Hi guys, Whenever I attempt to charge my phone, it will take longer then the 2-3 hours recommended. I always had to do a soft reset to solve this problem. Any idea ?

randy

you can "buy" a different navigator ( tomtom for example) and install it on your phone. just google :)

Dimmol

Excellent phone. No complaints whatsoever. Just one question: does anyone know a way to change navigation software? I bought mine in Singapore and it came with maps for Asian cities but I need Australian maps. Can it be changed somehow?

Josh

Many HTC/another PDA confused while charging. Don't look at the green indicator, when it reach 100percents that's not actually fully charged. Just look at the icon top of the home screen, when the cable icon turn into battery icon with full bar. That's really mean your PDA was fully charged...

Laura Lee

I am using HTC Touch Dual right now and want to change it now. I am confused if i should by HTC Touch Cruise 09 or HTC Magic. The reason is that wheni buya HTCi try to use it for atleast a year so i am confused which one to get? Please help!!!

Anonymous

I like the phone very much, this is the 1st time i change to something beside nokia. It was wonderful, also quite light weight, just that i think my batt actually keep dropping very easily, not sure why and i don like camera to be 3.2 kinda small pixel to me. Beside that overall it was working well. I love my HTC phone now...

Rip

I wonder... is footprints really useful? HTC failed to include it in all the most recent phones...

RANDY

THIS is a great nav phone. so if you look at it as a phone with navigation you get what you want and its great for that.has a better battery life then any other nav phone i used before just love it. really who listens too radio now a days when there is mp3. would at least suggest a flash and auto focus too make footprints a greater experience. but then again i never take a lot of pictures at night with a phone if i want a good picture. (and i carry a surefire flashlight in case i need to light a object :P). and videocalling is not necessary on a NAV phone.

Koen

I have this same problem with the footprints, when i press the red button it sometimes starts footprints, not a software problem but its one piece of the phone for 2 buttons next to eachother.. so when a application is running slow and you want to go to today, you open footprints and the goes even slower... But for everything else, this is a really good smartphone, many features, touch flo works really nice, camera less because it has no auto focus or flash, but i dont need it, when your outside and the weather is good, the pictures are also nice! Battery is really good, better than my prevouis phone, the nokia 5800

Tony

Well what do you want? There isn't much to do to change the basic layout of a cell phone.

kt

Hi,if you want to have your phone fully charge, you have to off your handphone for at least 1 hour for charging.then the indicator will turn green.

priynka sharma

hi friends............ i wanna buy this phone but dude one problem..... some one say to me that what the price ? how many phone number and sms store in it... pls.. reply if u can know about it.....pls..

Matti

I have used Cruise 09 now for a week. Other Htc phones have been left on the table. Cruise 09 is enjoyable to use and specially in a car. Navipanel�s menu directs to different functions. My Bluetooht hands free starts also, when connecting to the car stand, and stops when taking it off. I wish the display would be VGA and radio inside. I love this phone and use it every day.

adamlow

very disappointed. bot it for abt 3 days. discovered that there is no autofocus, macro for the camera; no secondary camera for video call; no fm radio receiver. i was a touch cruise (2nd generation) user, this phone not fit to have the name of touch cruise 09, very misleading. i fell into the trap.

Matti

Camera has not auto focus. This is a big minus. Does any company make anymore a phone, where is camera without auto focus? In this case Cruise 2 is like two year�s old Htc phones. Radio is also lacking. The name is wrong and misleading. The first Cruise is much more better than this one. Htc should have given an other name.

Brian

I think that Footprints sound interesting, but it will certainly not be a feature I use often. So I want to know if I can re-assign the button to another program. Has anyone tried this? Can this be done?

Anonymous

I faced the same problem. I think the main reason is that I have installed most of the SPB software. I guess these software conflict with the device software. I tried to reset to factory default and charge. It can be fully charged from red to green now (around 3 hours). Or you can try to soft reset the device if you feel the device is cool when charged. It will be turned to green light immediately after boot up. You can try. Hope I can help.

Andrea

Im about to buy it... have some questions: 1.How it works with 3G without frontal camera? 2. How many messages does it keep? 3. How much is the extrenal memory? Help me, and Thank you!!

I bought the phone last month and i also face the same problem. The red light still appear there.

Got this nice gps focused phone on 25-Mac-09 notice it is heating up a bit on first day use. Full charge on second day, still heating up and battery drain so fast. over night without using it from full charge next morning only one bar left. Sent it to htc services. They work on it till today. Owner of dopod 838 pro and touch first edition, so far very sturdy and robust device but not this one...or just my bad luck this time.

Helen

Hi All, Can anyone advise if this phone can support chinese word star and can be hand written in chinese charater? before I make any decision. Thanks!

Harinder

seems nice phone to carry with ya but: 1. I am unable to share pics. via bluetooth on this phone. Does anybody have any F.. idea to this?? 2. Footprints, sounds and works nice but i think its a trap for users to automatically go online/data connection while the device is using GPS to locate you and save to the pic. taken! impressive technology! all i can say.

Anonymous

you should go and change your device since its heating up, i think its a problem with the battery, i got this last week and i don't have such a problem

Anonymous

I got this phone about a week ago and let me tell you something its very nice device if you like windows mobile, i have used so many high end device in past six months and this is one of the best i have used. i was not fan of windows mobile until i start using HTC,

Extra sweet

Zap

its not sad actually.... they just want to have their own jack for their own earpiece, thats all! in addition to that, if something goes wrong with earpiece then that would mean buying only from them which will help in profits rather than u going to another company to an earpiece..... DDDDUUUUHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Anonymous

I agree with you Nick. Most htc phones don't come with 3.5 head phone jack which is universal on almost all phones out there. It's a big mistake on htc's part. I purchased three htc devices. htc p3600, htc sprint mogul and finally an htc advantage. Only the htc advantage came with 3.5 headphone jack. Truly sad!!

Gary

Doesn't look a promising device from HTC, known for its innovation and technology. I would rather go for Touch Diamond 2 or Touch HD.

Anonymous

yes, it has, at least the old Cruise has, I and basically it is the same phone with faster processor.

Anonymous

no auto rotate sensor if it was there i would have bought it then

Vincent

3g phone but not have front camera. :{

Agha M

The I mate 810-F processor is - Application Processor: Marvell PXA310 (624 Mhz) - Base-band Processor: Qualcomm MSM 6280 - 256 MB ROM, 128 MB RAM, 2GB NAND RAM and the HTC Touch Cruise 09 s is microSD (TransFlash), buy memory - 256 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM - Qualcomm MSM7225 528 Mhz processor ... My question is which one is faster as in better in opening Big files...?

GAGAN KUKREJA

its a nice phone..i can say its a user friendly phone....

Kerri

This phone is to be used by finger or stylus (pen), the stylus(pen) is optional but highly recommended!

Anonymous

i've been using the touch 3g for a month now. I can honestly say that it has great functionality and the design is very aesthetic. winmobile os has stalled once or twice but it was rather minor. Overall, comparing it to the iphone which my gf uses, it is much more useable and not to mention exclusive.

Anonymous

There is no MS Excel in the iphone But what is better the crouise 09 or HTC touch 3g?

Anonymous

with finger? yes. that's why it called 'touch'.

Unknown

Hello Dear Users Can this phone be used by finger only like I-Phone? Or some parts requires stylus (Pen)! Thank you in advance for your reply.

Tlotlo

HTC is the best ask me about it!

Raymond

HD is better at all.

Leo

Dude... the Touch HD has 3.5mm jack!

anon

better? in what? it is lighter, smaller, and thats all.

Matt

If you want to take pictures, buy a digital camera!.. Is this better than the Touch HD?

Phorn Paul

Based on my view and since my other smart phones now are equipped with higher megapixel camera with flash, I would recommend that the HTC touch cruise 09 should equip with Camera Flash in case the user needs to take pictures at the dark place or where there is shade or at night time.

dje

a review (in french) here :

nick

Another sad story for HTC...still no 3.5mm jack

raymond

its good phone!wifi,GPS,win6.1,good talk time but i cant understand why this phone is not have a rate?i think its uper than 8 score for rating?

Carlos

Why is it that these phones have all the features you want and then the manufacturers ruin it by putting in a 3meg pix camera??? 5 Meg Pixal should be the minimum these days. I will keep looking

this is a very good phone

well i dnt understand the ratings this phone got here!!

this is nothing but effect of globalisation

yes it's quiet the same but you have the footprints and that's a revolution !!!

has this phone been released yet? your comments read as though you have this phone already...

podge

Hey Jack - the HTC Touch 3G I referred to also has Touch Flo navigation so again I ask, what's the point? (who's the noooobbb now?)

bluecyclops

very very naf manual doesnt even tell u how to lock the phone. Touchflo doesnt work very well. Gps is truly awful (app this is common with v1 .. v2 maybe better) I like winmo. which is good about the only likeable thing about this phone. which is made of plastic and looks it. appears to have been built to a price rather than a standard. if it was meant as an iphone killer it should hide its face in shame. I hate mine.

jack

the point is that is has got touch flo navigation like iphone you noobsssssss

Deeross

In reply to Nic Actually they have run out of ideas, "Update" is just a fancy way of saying "same name, same phone, same specs, everything thing is the same except it costs way more!!!" Beleive me, these things won't be cruising out the door.

kristof

this phone is ok. nothing special, deff too expensive for my taste. check out yodaphone.com if you want to see additional reviews.

touch hd is the best

podge

this is just a HTC Touch 3G with a different body, and slightly heavier... what's the point???????

Zobi

Is like old fone. You gonna buy?

dg

very very nice phone...

Nic

They haven't run out of ideas, this is meant to be a GPS super phone hence the htc footprint and the name "cruise", the old touch cruise was a GPS super phone too that was why it shipped with tomtom software, car charger and craddle. I think its what you call an update. Ignorance is bliss.

Ole

Aren't they all??? Most phone companies (i.e. SE, Moto and Nokia)are running out of ideas (and designs)pretty fast... I guess we are at an impasse... we�ll just have to wait until another iphone of sorts comes along to freshen things up again... until then, hello stale devices with boring designs and used-up specs!

Scornix

Honestly, I think HTC has ran out of ideas after diamond and HD.

fourplus

What...No radio???

Darren

Does this thing still have the poor video issues of previous HTC offerings?

Why is HTC continuously dropping support for "tri band" umts/3g The classic Touch Cruise is better spec wise. I live in the US and am constantly traveling around the world, this makes upgrading to newer models difficult

cps424

htc just hates lighting! Verified for another time!!! What a pitty...

Louis

If your going to have a camera, then go all the way, have one that works properly. Many smartphones have a flash included so you can take decent pictures in low lit areas. I agree Pepsi that the device is not a camera, however, having a camera that works properly in all levels of light, I don't think is much to ask for.

HTC lover

Haha, nice phone, i believe that cuz HTC is a business phone manufacturer, thats why the camera is not a very important substance in their phone, thats why a flash is missing.

Pepsi

It's not a camera phone - just be grateful it has a camera at all!

sean from beverly hi

why is newer a camera flash on htc it is stupid?!

HTC

The best part about HTC Footprints is that you can use them to find your way back to the hidden little caf� you visited last year, or the elm tree under which your loved one popped the big question. And if you want, you can simply flip through your collection and laugh about the times that helped create who you are today. HTC Footprints is like a journal of your life�s highlights, making them always within your reach.

Anonymous

another j.unk from HTC! Too bulky - too thick! The screen is too small for the unit. Look, there are large areas not used at all. 600USD - must be kidding! By the time of release a good smart phone will cost 300-400USD. Most of them already offered FREE with a cheap contract. HTC should have improve HD instead of putting this useless phone on the market. For 200-300 USD may be but... even then...

Louis

Where is the camera for video calling and does it have a flash light for taking pictures at night or where there is low levels of light? Looks like HTC does not believe in having flash lights for its devices.

Does it have radio?

it's a navigation platform dude to support GPS similar to google or nokia map
