Touch Cruise 09 is finally here and my wait for the perfect phone is finally over! HTC Touch Cruise 09 has all the features I could have wanted in a phone and even features that I had simply not expected. To say that I was thrilled when I saw the phone is an understatement in the least. Let me tell you about some of the features I like best.

To begin with, the Touch Cruise 09 handset is very sleek and elegant. I found that when it was being developed, the handset was codenamed ‘Lolita’ and somehow I think the name fits. The take a look at this video is obviously comes with a touch sensitive screen and it is 2.8”, has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and has a screen that supports 65 colors. What’s more, the O2 also offers handwriting recognition, making it so much easier to take notes or write messages.

There are so many other brilliant features in this phone. There is advanced GPS which practically gives you turn by turn directions. Then there is geo-tagging which lets you take pictures and then tag your location, add some notes or add a voice memo. That is just so simply amazing.

This phone is a quad band phone comes with GPRS class 10, HSDPA 7.2, HTML & WAP browser and WiFi, all of which together allow for high speed internet access. And, it is so easy to the phone to other devices with its Bluetooth 2.0 plus A2DP. Also, the phone allows for a wide range of messaging options like push email, MMS, SMS and email. The phone is also equipped with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional that enables you to edit files in Excel, Word and Power Point.

Now, if all these features don’t make it the best phone this year, I don’t know what does.

HTC Touch Diamond 2 has outdone itself when it comes to image quality. The 3.2-inch touch-sensitive wide-screen with VGA (480 X 800 pixel) resolution makes all my photos look almost professional. Well actually, I think this has more to do with the absolutely fabulous 5.0 megapixel camera with auto focus, and of course, my wonderful eye for a great shot!

I’ve been a fanatical mobile photographer (meaning I take pictures of everything from the pigeons outside my window to the tuft of hair in front of me at the cinema) and for daylight shooting, the HTC Touch Diamond 2 is one of the best phone cameras I have ever owned. I love the clarity, I love the versatility, and I really love the colors. I took a few photos at the park yesterday, and even though the park isn’t all that fantastic, the pictures look like heaven. Greenest green I’ve ever seen, without any photoshopping!

I really enjoy the interface of the HTC Touch Diamond 2 too – easy to navigate, well organized, and of course, the touch screen has helped me go from ‘hunt and peck’ to ‘nimble fingers.’ With the product overview , folders seem to open up as even as I think about them…but the highlight is the new zoom bar. I just slide my finger over it to zoom into or out of a picture. I also use it when I’m uploading some extra-special shots into my web gallery, or when I’m driving (meaning pulled over) and hoping Google maps will show me where the nearest pizza place is.

Of course the other features of the pay as you go mobile phone deals don’t hurt. Push- Internet is a great new feature that pre-loads my favourite websites and saves them for later. The phone is compact and pretty snazzy, so I don’t mind pulling it out in public places to take some quick photos.

Undoubtedly the best display I have ever seen on a smart phone. The HTC Touch Pro 2 is outstanding – hardware and graphics alike. A 3.6-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with 480 X 800 WVGA resolution, glows bright and clear. And when I turn on the HTC Touch Pro 2 , the start up menu reminds me of the future. Okay, so that sounds lame, but really, I am wowed beyond words. I’ve seen iphones and I’ve seen other phones, but this one is brilliant. Plus it tilts…I mean it is adjustable so that you can look at it from all angles.

The TouchFLO 3D interface that the HTC Touch Pro 2 uses is perfect for the Windows Mobile Interface, but really, it looks nothing like windows, that is, it looks way better and works just the same. TouchFLO focuses on increasing usabillity and making navigation more intuitive. It is super finger friendly, giving the user instant access to messaging, people, email, photos, music and the daily weather. The zoom bar at the bottom of the screen is touch sensitive too – it allows you to zoom in and out of photos and webpages.

I’ve been on about the official overview graphics and the screen, but it really is worth mentioning that the phone also has a stellar microphone and speaker system for call conferencing. It also makes the actual calling process much easier and streamlined. The other specs of the HTC are pretty good too – almost unlimited memory and room for an SD card, mini USB, bluetooth and WLAN enabled, stereo FM radio with RDS, MP3 player and TV out. I know it’s designed as a business phone, but I just want to play with it. I still need to look into the battery life. It is improved from the previous version, and improvements are always a good thing. I hope it will hold up with all the use that I intend to put it through.
