Even in the worst economic crisis in 50 years, the only way the manufacturer can think of to market this nicely done GPS?GSM/GPRS phone is to use it to store vacation pictures. Bread and circuses.
How about property appraisers, repo agents, real estate brokers, apartment finders, mortgage appraisers, filed supervisors and everyone else who still has a job trying to work our way out of the recession. A worthy tool, me thinks:
Is there no end to HTC’s superb phones? Recently, it announced a new version of the Touch Cruise. The 2009 version is a GPS-focused device, which means you will never get lost again if you are to travel in an unfamiliar place. Aside from the Advanced Navigation system, it is also installed with HTC Footprints. This is quite intriguing software which allows you to indicate certain places with photos taken through its 3.2-megapixel camera, videos, and audio.
If you want to narrate special events while you were in that particular place, you can so that if you were to review the whole trip, you can easily recall details in that specific place you visited. Navigating through it is easy since it has a huge 2.8” display with TouchFLO UI. In the heart of its system is the Qualcomm MSM7225, 528 MHz chip.
If you are not off traipsing to unknown territories you can use the new HTC Touch Cruise for WiFi internetworking. Downloading from the internet is easy with the scrollable directional pad in front of the phone. HTC Touch Cruise will be unlocked in the U.S. this spring with a price range of $500-$600. Global release has yet to be announced. Read the full Touch Cruise review here.
