Features
The HTC Touch Cruise has integrated GPS with Footprints, an application that geotags photos and creates digital postcards on the handset. When a photo is taken, Footprints takes notes, an audio clip, and geotag it to identify its geographical location. This allows for reference back to where and when the photo was taken. The Touch Cruise can be used as an in-car navigation system when placed on its cradle and provides users with turn-by-turn directions on its user interface. The Touch Cruise provides fingertip access to phone, contacts, email, messaging, calendar and GPS applications with TouchFLO technology on its 2.8 inch touch screen. It also has Direct Push Outlook email. The handset’s other features are Live HTC Home featuring time and weather display, quick launcher, and one-touch ringtone settings, integrated 3-megapixel camera with auto-focus for shooting photos/videos and a second camera for video calls or self-portraits, built-in turn-by-turn GPS navigation with TomTom software navigation experience and features an FM radio, MP3 player and video playback.

This phone is designed for professionals, as all the necessities are at your fingertips (or the stylus tip) and you can plan your day and set alarms/reminders with ease. However, many a time it is just overly complicated and makes you appreciate the simplicity in other phones. All in all, an elegant, practical and somewhat affordable smartphone that can be a little frustrating at times. Read more

There are a lot of things to like about this new Touch Cruise. It may not be the flashiest device HTC offers, but it more than makes up for it with solid all-around performance. The integration of GPS services is slick; TomTom is one of the best navigation suites out there and Footprints will certainly appeal to users. TouchFLO 2D is as fast as ever, and the addition of Map Search makes it even more useful. Performance was among the best we’ve ever seen, with... Read more

HTC debuts new Touch Cruise phone with 'Footprints' geotagging
Reviewer: engadget15 February 2009HTC's got an all-new version of its GPS-centric Touch Cruise handset, with a thinner, slicker design and a new HTC Footprints app for integrating that location data with photos and notes. Of course, the phone doubles as a traditional in-car navigation system, cradle included, with GPS and a-GPS, but there's plenty else to love here, including quad band GSM, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, a microSD slot and a 3.2 megapixel camera. The 2.8-inch QVGA screen betrays this phone's... Read more

HTC makes some of the most beautiful PDAs in the world, but they're also some of the most expensive. The company's new Touch Cruise rivals the Apple iPhone in terms of sleek design and touch screen utility, but its high price tag places it firmly out of the reach of many potential buyers. Read more

Good phone a little expensive though. I don't text and prefer the windows mobile os so this phone suits me fine. I like the GPS and Tom Tom works great. The touch flo takes some pratice but works well. I also like how the micro sd card inserts into the side of the phone unlke my previous one. Read more

best phone ever...almost
Reviewer: supermoves, Phone Scoop23 June 2008- Overall 9
this phone would be the best phone on the market, if only the camera had a flash! lack of a flash is the only con I can find on this phone. the touch interface is great and the touch keypad is even big enough for fat-fingers like mine! if you have $600 to spend on a phone, this is worth it!
