WM6, wifi, touch screen....damn...

Anything in the US similar? My VZW contract is up in two days and I'm looking to greener pastures and better smartphones...the question is which one? Maybe a Blackberry Curve?]]>Nov 12th 2007 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/Nov 12th 2007 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/Nov 12th 2007 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/HSDPA: Up to 384kbps for upload and 3.6Mbps for download

This is a promising device, for sure, but (as can be seen in an additional YouTube clip), HTC isn't up to Apple's game, yet.

Apple's implementation of "dual-touch" is pure genius.

That said, I'm sort of locked-in to WM, so the Touch Cruise (really? you couldn't have found any better name?) is definitely on my radar.]]>Nov 12th 2007 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/Nov 12th 2007 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/

If it has tri-band HSDPA (850/1900/2100), then it will works with 3G/3.5G AT&T and the rest of the world.]]>Nov 12th 2007 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/Nov 12th 2007 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/Nov 12th 2007 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/

But not for TMO users. TMO has their own freaky band. My Cavalier is relegated to Edge on TMO but will rock the 3G on AT&T.]]>Nov 12th 2007 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/Nov 12th 2007 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/- Can sync with Microsoft Exchange

Will this thing be fully functional on Tmobile USA, yes or no?

If not, why not?]]>Nov 13th 2007 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/

**and this is no B.S** but i heard from a sprint rep that they will be coming out with the "htc touch dual" she just said that she didnt know when.. but i doubt it will come with the 3G feature.. :(]]>Nov 15th 2007 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/12/htcs-touch-cruise-with-gps-official/Nov 17th 2007 11:22PM
