"Get Lost With HTC GPS Phone"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:2008-04-28

Various companies have followed the footsteps of Apple by launching touch phones that have minimal keys. The Touch Cruise is HTC’s new touch phone that not only runs on Windows Mobile 6, but also comes with a built-in GPS receiver that can take you anywhere, so feel free to get yourself lost.

Despite combining two devices, the Touch Cruise was still able to sport a small and thin profile. The device's stainless steel and black finish gives the unit a classic appeal, with only a handful of important buttons present for ease of use.

The 2.8-inch screen is clear and bright, with users being able to see upcoming events, photos, and videos in a single glance. Right below the screen are four buttons (call begin, call end, GPS button, and Internet Explorer button) as well as a navigation wheel used mostly for browsing through the unit's main and sub menus.

A volume adjustment slider and a voice command button can be found on the left side of the phone, while a microSD card slot, a dedicated camera button, and a stylus compartment can be found on its right side. HTC has also included two cameras on the Cruise: a 3-megapixel camera that can be used to take simple shots, and a second camera above the screen for video calls.
