HTC Touch Cruise 2009

“The O2 XDA Guide is a brave attempt to bridge the gap between smart phones and dedicated sat-navs. The problem is that it's a much better smart phone than navigation device. On the sat-nav front, the Guide's small screen and weedy speaker do it no favours. But, if you can put up with these deficiencies, it'll certainly get the job done.”

“The Touch Cruise 2009 is a reworking of the 2008 version. When it comes to making calls, managing photos, and sending texts, the phone is quick and simple. It feels great in the hand and pocket. Unfortunately, when digging into advanced functions, or even changing some fairly simple settings, Windows Mobile 6.1 jumps out from under HTC's beautiful skin and rears its ugly head. Nagging error messages and unintuitive configuration are some of my long-standing WinMo complaints, and the Touch Cruise is not exempt. However, if you're comfortable with Windows Mobile, then the Touch Cruise will be a pleasant experience for you.”
