Offering GPS navigation and worldwide calling and data capabilities, HTC today unveiled its new Touch Cruise.
HTC launched the HTC Touch Cruise today, featuring built-in GPS for personal navigation. HTC has chosen TomTom to provide their navigation software.
Taking advantage of HTC's TouchFLO technology, the Touch Cruise offers pretty much the same user interface as the original HTC Touch. The HTC Home screen provides one-touch access to e-mails, text messages, calendar appointments and contacts, and users can sweep their finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface comprised of three screens: Contacts, Media and Applications. The interface can be spun by swiping a finger right or left across the display.
The new Touch Cruise boasts 3.6 Mbps HSDPA connectivity (supports AT&T's network) plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0. It also offers a 2.8" QVGA screen, and is powered by Windows Mobile 6. Other key features include a 3-megapixel camera with autofocus, FM radio and a microSD memory card slot. A second camera offering VGA resolution video calling for European users. The Touch Cruise also comes with quad-band GSM/EDGE support.
HTC claims a battery life of up to 7 hours of talk time. The Touch Cruise weighs in at 130 g and measures 110 by 58 by 15.5 mm.
The HTC Touch Cruise will be available as an unlocked phone in December 2007.
