HTC Touch Cruise Now in India

HTC has launched the HTC Touch Cruise, the third member of the 'HTC Touch' product family in the country. It is claimed to be the first HTC device to feature built-in GPS system, and also includes HSDPA wireless connectivity.

The HTC Touch Cruise sports a 2.8-inches display with HTC TouchFlo technology that enables finger-touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages, documents, messages, and contact lists by simply sweeping a finger across the display screen. Users can view photos and photo slide-shows using on-screen controls, as well as zoom and rotate images with one hand.
The HTC home screen offers one-touch access to emails, text messages, calendar appointments, contacts and weather forecasts. Moreover, sweeping the finger up the display yields an animated, 3D interface comprising three screens: contacts, media, and applications; the same can be spun by swiping the finger left or right across the display.

For connectivity, users have HSDPA, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The device runs on Windows Mobile 6 Professional, and packs a built-in Windows media player. Other key features include a 3 mega pixels auto-focus camera, FM radio, and micro-SD memory slot for adding to the 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM.

The HTC Touch Cruise comes in Black Sapphire color and is priced at Rs 32,990.

G4F Verdict : Amazing features but bit heavy on pockets. I would personally wait for iPhone to arrive
