HTC Touch Dual/Cruise
May 25th, 2008
One more competitor for the iPhone, the cellphone has a dual interface (touch screen for most tasks and a keypad for SMS) that allows a fell of a more standard cellular phone while having the same touch screen as the iPhone. You can use your fingers or the stylus to move to and fro applications as you browse and switch in between tasks. It also has a micro-sd card slot for memory requiremnts which allows mroe data to be stored onto your phone. Imagine being able to browse between 20 picture in the photo gallery to the 2 megapixel camera that has 2X digital zoom and a small built-in xenon flash that allows quality pictures. It has the makings of a iPhone competitor by design.
Another model, the HTC Touch Cruise does away with the keypad but sports a bigger display with 2.8″ of TFT screen area. With an integrated scroll key built into the 5-way navigation key, it allows better function.
