Heard from the purchase guys that the HTC Cruise is now offering a special Car Kit package with 1GB memory in a cheaper than the original price. Wondering if the car kit is some kind of cheap bundle that someone grabs some after market stuff and making it up. Our purchase guy ensures me that it is the HTC original stuff in fine quality, so I ask him to pass it to me to check out. You know, sometimes you need to see the real thing to believe it.

Anyway, I have not been doing the unboxing for the Cruise, so I just take some shots and share with you guys.

This is only the Phone box. The car kit is in another box which is in square long tube shape with the same length as the phone box. The total package is bundled all together as a big Car Kit Box.


Shown in the picture the big box package. It comes with the charger, battery, screen protector, extra stylus, USB cable, earphones, soft carrying case, 1GB Micro SD, a car cigarette charger, and a wind shield sucking phone holder.


It is how it holds the Cruise in the car with the cigarette charger attached. Of course the stand should be in U-shape and suck onto the wind shield of your car.


The HTC car charger is chrome trimmed and the logo will light up in blue when use in a car.


OK, the cruise. HTC Touch Cruise is the official name. It always sounded like Tom Cruise to me… anyway.


Yes I like the cruise dial control with the light on. But with the Touch-Flo interface, why do we need the dial? Cruise owners, please tell us.


Nice big sharp touchscreen. What do you want more?


Copying the iPhone design, you can actually rotate the photo layouts by using a finger to turn them and enlarge them. It is cool.


Check out the specifications yourself.


Anyway Touch Cruise is a nice smartphone. It has been around and HTC has proved the value of it. So is it gonna be the round and hip iPhone or the practical Windows Mobile Cruise?
