HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris)

First off, I would like to thank the mobile experience and Andy for inviting me to be a contributing author. As he mentions, we have always had regular discussions and a strong passion for technology, particularly "the mobile experience".

Now for my first post...

As most should be seeing in the US market now, the HTC Touch is being heavily promoted by Sprint, which has been extremely well received in other markets. I want to comment on the third release of the HTC Touch line, called the HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris). This phone is one of those that practically has it all with good form factor, an abundance of features, and the "cool factor" of TouchFLO technology from HTC (finger-touch scrolling, panning, and photo zooming similar to the iPhone's capability). Most of the key features include in-built GPS with TomTom for personal navigation, super fast connectivity with 3.5G-HSDPA and Wi-fi, Bluetooth, MP3 Player & FM Radio, Windows Mobile 6, 3MP camera, MicroSD slot, & more. For those that can't handle the on-screen keyboard, go for the HTC Touch Dual.
