Lots of videos today. This one comes from CoolSmartPhone (http://coolsmartphone.com/).

I had trouble deciding if the Touch Cruise a successor to the HTC Touch or the HTC Artemis P3300. As Chuong pointed out recently (http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=4698), it's got almost identical specs to the TyTN II. Visually, it looks more similar to the P3300 than the Touch, plus it has GPS which the Touch does not. It's the name that is throwing me off.

As a successor to the Artemis, the Touch Cruise adds a faster processor (at 400MHz vs. 201MHz), twice the ROM and RAM, HSDPA, and a higher resolution camera. Oh, and it's thinner by about a millimeter and included TouchFLO. Not bad for those that don't require a fixed keyboard.

I like that scroll wheel idea. I hope its usable in other programs like scrolling in IE. I am also a fan of a device without a keyboard. This is totally something for me to think about.

I'm still holding onto my x51v like a child.

Haha! Good old Axim. What OSK do you prefer to use on your non-keyboard devices?

This thing is pretty hot looking. I could be convinced to give up my beloved Tilt for this. For one, Adam showed me CooTek's TouchPal onscreen keyboard, and it works really well. I like it a lot better than HTC's SureType keyboard. With TouchPal installed, it would make the Touch Cruise a great device. Though, I do like using the tiltscreen on a desk and watch my SlingBox on it. Oh decisions, decisions.

Personally I like the SBP full screen keyboard. I have a Bluetooth keyboard for longer typing. I use my PDA for more multimedia stuff than data entry or email.

That's a good KB for a VGA screen. :rolleyes:
