HTC Touch Cruise review: Happy cruising - read the full textPocket PCs have been keeping us busy these days. Just as we gave you LG KS20, it's time for our one-on-one with the HTC Touch Cruise. And hey, are those workhorses getting sexier or what. As one of our readers sharply observed, those devices just...

I have a difficulty in using the built in Cybron Voice commander. Is there anyone else with the same experience? Do anybody have suggestion what kind of voice dial is better?

You are all familiar with the mess that HTC created to their clients with their latest top priced and high-end PDA devices that are sold without appropriate drivers that will put in use the hardware specified in the device.
I`am not mad about that...
HTC marketing or whoever did this at HTC, will sooner or later face the sword of the market laws or they will simply be sued. http://htcclassaction.org/
(So far despite the annoncments, they wont develop any HW driver.)

I`am mad about the top "professional" reviewing sites that we read every day and they have a huge "%" in shaping our opinion
as future consumers when they test new industry devices.

If you check the reviwes on the net for HTC TYTN 2 or HTC Cruiser (700&600eur) you will find out that those devices are
everywhere rated like a next best thing after the Star Trek Tricorder.
The bare fact they don't have hardware drivers (because HTC never made one) noone even finds out or mentions.
And you don't need to be an expert to find that out! They are so under-performing and they are so slow!
Quick comparison of those products with few years older products will show the difference immediately.
Its like someone is testing ATI or NVIDIA latest graphics cards without the drivers and RECOMENDS them as top gear!
What the hell they were testing?!!!
Damn I`am so pissed and so disapointed...

PS (No problems without the driver ??)
Some comparisons ...

PS. I was hoping so much for this phone... I`am waiting to see what Toshiba G810 Portege smartphone will offer...

oh no... I was afraid of this review... so won't be getting it...

The peeling paint is unacceptable after 1 week of use, in 1 month it will be hideous! , add on top the bad graphics performance... I'll wait for something else.

The issue with video playback and things IS indeed a driver issue.

I am wanting to get my hands on this phone but would love it if they could fix the damn missing display driver beforehand! So the phone performance is up to par as it should be!!!!

yea the video playback on pocket pcs is really a pain, the videos lag so much and its such a shame to waste huge touch screens and not watch videos or episodes of your fav series, all my friends have the problem, i'm hoping its a driver issue on the Cruise as its amazing!!

The touch cruise also has a radio with rds! Tynt II does not have a radio.

"I'm fourth!!!" (Does that really matter?)
Anyhow I've used the o2 variant of this phone= the Xda Orbit II and to be honest I didn't like it
Screen wasn't responsive, I tapped, tapped some more, eventually stabbing it. At which point; it worked.

lg ks20 is superior to this. But i realised that windows mobile only gives 65k to phones, hmm..., hopefully the new windows would support more.

Nice Phone but the fact that the display is almost illegible under sunlight is a minus, pitty.

Peace
