This is probably only partially true. After all, they have to keep something back for that incremental upgrade coming with the HTC Touch Cruise II.

As usual, I prefer the O2 styling to the HTC-branded one.

Finally, a WinMo phone to compete with the new N95s.

How exactly?! You can only fit 320 horizontal pixels of a web page onto your screen (in landscape mode) regardless of whether it's a 2" or 4" screen. Making it 4" doesn't somehow magically show more of a page, unless you zoom out and lose legibility.]]>Oct 19th 2007 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/
However, if you are driving and are using the phone as a GPS at arm's length, then I would argue that the physical screen size is more important than how beautifully the fonts are rendered.]]>Oct 19th 2007 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/And no.]]>Oct 19th 2007 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.theunwired.net/?item=leaked-o2-germany-unveils-a-new-unknown-windows-mobile-xda-pocket-pc-phone]]>Oct 19th 2007 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 24th 2007 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/
N95 for me is almost useless because of its lack of a touch screen.

The HTC Touch is an almost decent phone with a good price. If they keep the same price on the new one, it might be very interesting.]]>Oct 20th 2007 6:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/

Much better than huge phones with bigger screens (iPhone anyone?).

And this new phone seems really nice, I never bought the original Touch because it was too damn slow. Even my phone has a much better processor, and it is more than a year older and runs Linux, which requires less of it. But I definately prefer WM, however with decent specs to support it.]]>Oct 19th 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/Oct 19th 2007 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/
@ZSX - I have owned and used to death several different WM devices and have experienced a performance issue with VGA resolution.

The snappiest device I used was a Dell Axim X51v (WM 5, Intel PXA270 624 MHz, Intel 2700G graphics, VGA). My current Glofiish X500+ (WM6, Samsung SC32442 400 MHz, VGA) is slower than the previous X500 model. Same processor, but QVGA.

I won't be buying an HTC device with VGA until they bump up the processor and/or graphics subsystem.]]>Oct 19th 2007 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/19/htc-polaris-gets-specs-leaked-renamed-the-cruise/
