The HTC Touch Cruise is another one of those devices from HTC that everyone seems to be talking about and waiting for. It's the latest in the line of devices from HTC to bear the Touch monica and to include the TouchFLO software and the extra-sensitive touchscreen.

We've known all about the device for several months but it was just launched last week. Initial stock arrived at Devicewire on Thursday and was sold out the same day. I guess this proves how popular the HTC Touch Cruise is!

Looking a lot like the HTC Artemis the similarity is only skin deep as under the hood you'll find a 400MHz CPU, 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM - quite well specified then. So as usual we're reviewing the HTC Touch Cruise and we'll have that online soon so we leave you with the unbox video for now:

Isn't TouchFlo just a fancy launcher?
The first example of it I saw still had you switching to regular Windows Mobile sooner or later. :(

Does it have a transreflective or trnsmissive screen? Really hope it is transreflective to make it useful for outdoor navigation

There are some performance issues with the latest HTC phones based on the Qualcomm 7200 chips relating to very slow graphics. HTC did not include (or decided to save money on the license fee) accelerated graphics, all details here:

Is it possible to use the Touch Cruise (or any WM6) as a bluetooth modem with the Asus eee?

Wish it had some kind of hardware keyboard. I prefer the shape and finish of the Cruise over the Touch or Dual though.
