HTC yesterday announced the newest member of the Touch family. The Touch Cruise adds 3G, GPS and an FM radio to the GSM version as well as upgrading a number of features. The Cruise features quad-band GSM, tri-band HSDPA, a 2.8" touch screen and the navigation wheel also seen on the T-Mobile Shadow. It also features GPS, a 3 Megpixel autofocus camera with a second camera for video conferencing, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, FM radio and microSD slot. Like all members of the Touch Family, the Cruise runs Windows Mobile 6 Professional (Pocket PC) with the TouchFlo interface.
When at ATT?
I'm hoping that ATT will pick this up. Mobile Planet is saying unlocked version will be available from them in early December. If so, when might we see it at ATT? What's the usual time line?
Rebrand
I wonder if T-Mobile would be wise enough to pick this up, and if they did, would they re-brand it under the Shadow brand name. It has some similarities to the current shadow, mainly the scroll wheel. T-Mobile needs a touch screen phone to help "compete" with the customers who want a phone "that is like the iphone."
Verizon does not have a single phone like the Touch Cruise...hope a CDMA version comes out in 2008 for VZW!!
Oh Yeah!
I plan on getting this phone, a month or so after it comes out.. Looks just what I've been waiting for. Quadband GSM, Tri Band HSDPA, and Touchflo.
Why wait a month, for a few reason's, don't want to pay top dollar, and would like to make sure it is what it is, and get revisions.
almost all phones, once officially released, cost the same for at least 6 months...
