CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Complete range of connectivity options; integrated GPS; good bundle including car kit and GPS map; attractive design; FM radio. 8
out of 10View score
The bad: No dedicated audio connector; no keypad of any kind; no LED for low-light photography.
The bottom line: The combination of HTC's Touch interface and a slew of connectivity options makes the Cruise viable for those who balked at the shortcomings of the Touch and Touch Dual.

No beauty but Great Product although overpriced!!
Jun 16, 2008Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: GPS, TouchCube, tough physical shell, rather light, bundled car-charger and holder
Cons: no-qwerty, slow, no led light, no win 6.1 official upgrade, side volume button difficult to use
Opinion:
After using this for almost 4 months, I can say that I am still quite pleased with the HTC TCruise, enough not to be temped to upgrade to Diamond (we'll see about T Pro though).
The fundamental things that I like are:
1. smooth leveled screen - initiates no stylus mentality, eases touch screen usage, alot!
2. resilient case - although it is somewhat ugly, the TCruise is rather good for rough handling, with soft touch plastic (or is it rubber?) Does not easily get dirty, and will not show much wear and tear(no pealed off coatings etc). Working in a dirty and sumtimes oily workshop, this is very good for me. I am also quite clumsy so ++++
3. Touch cube - a quick shortcut to my dire basic needs, excellent! very much used! (especially after customization)
4. Scroll wheel - Did not have the previous artemis, but now I know why it was ... Read more

Pros: Look, feel, size, functionality
Cons: Didn't ship with WM6.1, needs a landscape desktop stand
Opinion:
I've been using mine for a couple of weeks now, and it's taken me a little time to get used to not having a qwerty keypad, but it seems in landscape mode, with T9 on, I'll not miss my qwerty. I sure appreciate the thin profile of this puppy.
I've used copilot around the city, and it needs a few more features (text to speech so it calls out street names, and speed cameras as well), but the display, and connection are fantastic.
Battery life no issue. I haven't tried a video call yet, but enjoy the high speed email downloads. The display is impressive. The ipod interface is a bit slippy, but with a little fine tuning in the software, will be great.
I'm anxious to upgrade to WM6.1 to bring it to the next level once it's released on this model, but as I say in the headline, I'm ... Read more
