HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris)

Stylish and sleek in design, the HTC Touch Cruise is a further illustration of HTC’s commitment to

innovation and to building a suite of touchscreen devices that cater to a variety of customer needs and

styles. The HTC Home screen will provide one-touch access to emails, text messages, calendar appointments

and contacts, as well as current weather conditions and forecasts for hundreds of cities around the world.

Users then simply sweep their finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface

comprising three screens: Contacts, Media and Applications. The interface can be spun by swiping a finger

right or left across the display, providing efficient access to the features consumers use most.

Users on the move will easily be able to interact with the HTC Touch Cruise’s navigation functionality

and can take advantage of HTC’s TouchFLO technology, which enhances finger touch scrolling and browsing of

Web pages, documents, messages and contact lists, controlled by simply sweeping a finger across the screen.

TouchFLO also offers the ability to view photos and photo slideshows using on-screen controls and to zoom

and rotate images with only one hand.

The new Touch Cruise boasts super fast HSDPA/3.5G connectivity plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it a

highly connected device for consumers on the move. Its 2.8” screen is great for enjoying mobile multimedia

and because it runs on Windows Mobile 6, the built-in Windows Media Player is ideal for music and

movies.

The HTC Touch Cruise utilizes mapping and navigation solutions from TomTom. This navigation software

comes complete with a taster city map or the option of full maps of Western Europe. Other key features

include a three megapixel auto focus camera, FM radio and Micro SD memory card slot for adding to the 128MB

RAM. The device will be available form both retailers and SIM free from HTC from this month.
