HTC Touch Cruise (unlocked)

By (cnet.com)

The HTC Touch Cruise offers great navigation and ships with U.S. maps. The HTC Footprints application provides a nice way to record highlights of your trip. The Windows Mobile smartphone also features 3G support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 3.2-megapixel ...

The screen isn't the sharpest, and it washes out in bright sunlight. It's also a bit small for in-car navigation. The onscreen keyboard is cramped, and expandable memory is limited when using maps

The HTC Touch Cruise offers road warriors and travel lovers great navigation features in a compact smartphone; we just wish it had a better screen.

Well, HTC is taking the concept to another level with its HTC Touch Cruise...

HTC Touch Cruise

By Bonnie Cha (cnet.com)

The HTC Touch Cruise features integrated GPS and comes preloaded with TomTom navigation software. The Windows Mobile 6 smartphone also has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 3G support

While the integrated GPS and TomTom navigation software makes the HTC Touch Cruise very enticing, there are some limitations, not to mention a high price tag that turned us off to the smartphone.

Since the smartphone came out before the HTC Touch Diamond, the Cruise uses...

"Not a bad product but it could have a better price tag!"

By FJHerrera (cnet.com)

Despite the problems I am willing to keep thi... 

I think it has a nice look and feel to it and the hands free it has with a suction cup to go on the wind shield is very handy.

It crashes frequently and you have to take out the battery in order to reset. I also had problems with the sink process since it would erase much of my info on the phone.
