The 2009 HTC Touch Cruise, yes - same name different models.

Touch, Touch HD, Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Touch 3G, Touch Viva, Touch Dual, Touch Cruise. Won't it be a headache if you are in search of "HTC Touch"? When you search it in Google, all sorts of other models pop up. Now, the problem persists with HTC Touch Cruise (Touch Cruise a.k.a. Iolite).

THEY ARE REPEATING EXACTLY THE SAME NAME, "TOUCH CRUISE", AS THE OLD MODEL. This will certainly wreck havoc to users searching for this model, and to the bidders in ebay too. We really hope that HTC can name their products in a more user-friendly way.

Basic specs:
CPU: Qualcomm MSM 7225 528MHz Processor
Memory: 512MB ROM, 256MB RAM
Screen: 2.8" 320x240
Camera: 3.2 megapixel camera
Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, GPS (AGPS), UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA, wi-fi 802.11 b/g
Dimensions: 102 x 54 x 14.5 mm
Miscellaneous: MicroSD slot, USB 2.0 port, Radio
OS: Windows Mobile 6.1
Nothing really special. Nothing.

Software features:
With HTC TouchFLO, a streamline user-friendly appli... Okay, not with that crap. We all know TouchFLO significantly slow down the machine.

Footprints function is described as the innovative feature which enables you to record the geographical location when taking pictures... Wait, you say older models can also do this with really simple registry hack? Yes we know. This one is slightly different - you can record the location even when you're indoor. Sadly, it is expected that if you disable TouchFLO, you won't be able to access to this function at all.

Other than that, no other features. With mediocre hardware and limited features (vs Pro/HD), poor outlook (vs Diamond) and high price (vs Viva, 3G), we highly doubt that the phone will be sucessful.
