P3600 or Touch Cruise ?

[wolfmenace]

I have the chance to sell my P3600 and get a Touch Cruise but P3600 had served me well and I am very happy with it and especially with all the goodies (New Roms from all the Shefs make P3600 very valuable) .....

Dunno what to do..... :confused:

I have my hands also the touch Cruise but it feels like a cheap one and not as solid as P3600.... further more the screen of P3600 is a bit larger than Touch Cruise and the camera of Touch Cruise is kinda a bit slow to capture something that moves...... meh.... maybe a rom update will fix all these :confused:

I know touch cruise is better than P3600 performance wise but I bought P3600 when it released so I am a bit in touch with it ....

so if you were in my position will you sell your oldy P3600 ???

Hi,
It is your decision but in my opinion Cruise is better then P3600. it has the same processor but mor RAM and better camera. It's mor future then P3600.

No.

Wait a couple of months more for next generation of devices from HTC. It will be very interesting. P3600 is still very advanced PDA phone, Cruise is uglier, have bad video drivers, bad FM radio, loose buttons, inferior battery.

Very interesting informatios. Do You user this phone?

Do you have any idea what to expect from these new models?

[banesi]

No, I don't work for HTC or something, I just read and look what's going around, after iPhone launch the new revolution has begun, we can expect lot of goodies from HTC and likes, I guess it will be higher resolutions screens, slicker devices, just look at Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, everyone will try to beat it, and remember, it's built in HTC ;)

I have/had the same problem too.
I have the opportunity to have a new phone with a discount because of my actual phone contract... But actually, none of the HTC devices convinced me really.

I was thinking to take a Polaris (which is better than Trinity: AGPS, RAM/ROM, FM)… But nothing really revolutionary.
When I changed my wizard to Trinity, this was a real big jump… And I want to have the same sensation.
Actually I am waiting for the Next HTC devices in September.

Yeap I had also the Wizard and changed it to Trinity and indeed that was a big jump...

I played a bit with the Touch Cruise this weekend but didnt feel any BIG difference ...

Anyway I think I will wait a bit for the next release of HTC ... or maybe go for another model if HTC don't improve their pda ...

btw are you sure that next release of HTC devices will be in September ?

Not sure :D
But... As I remember:
The 2.5" with keyborads came around August-Septemer (Wizard, TyTN, TyTN-II)
The 2.5" inches without keyboard came around 3 months later (S200, Trinity, Polaris)

Interesting. I sold my wizard 2 weeks ago and i bought the next day Trinity. :p

Trinity is a great pda and i am going to use it for 1 year or so. Until the next generation of HTC with same functions, vga screen and hopefully next generation of batteries( i read about 10x boost on lion batteries 2 months ago).

I have trinity for more than a Year, and the touch cruise is the first device that would make me think twice before buying trinity. But if you have a trinity, just stick with it... Touch cruise is the main reason for not having official WM6 for Trinity, because Trinity with WM6 is almost as good as Touch Cruise. Think for a while what are the extra features that you really need from Touch Cruise:
The extra RAM?
The extra ROM?
The extra resolution on the camera?
And remember you would lose this:
1500mA battery.
The mini SD (higher capacity than micro SD).

So If you have a Trinity keep it as long as it works fine. If you don't have a Trinity maybe you should choose Touch Cruise, because it comes with WM6 and all the HTC apps right out of the box.

Edit:
Forgot these extras:
Radio FM
Faster GPS

The mini SD (higher capacity than micro SD). <-probably not higher but cheaper and you will not be able to use the card you have on touch.

[wolfmenace]

I think I will have to wait for the next gen of pdas like the Nvidia one

:cool:

[Cyrus Kourosh]

@n0t: Do not forget: AGPS + RAdio FM :p
@wolfmenace: I do not think that we will see HTC device like this before at least two years...

You have got to be kidding about the size of storage cards!!.....Please show me a link to a mini SD card with more than 4Gb storage. MicroSD cards are out in 8Gb/12Gb versions.....

Yes, this is true. I'm using a 8gb microSD in my Trinity with a miniSD adapter. I've tried many cards and this is the most reliable card I've ever used in my Trinity.

I think if you already have a Trinity, there isn't much in switching to a TouchCruise, unless you must have it, then why not. If you are just coming to the game of these mobile devices then do the price/performance comparison. Either one of these devices are near the top of the pack...for now.

[eurorpeen]

I have had the 2 devices for testing purpose.

The trinity is great
The polaris is greater BUT not enough to sell a trinity and buy a polaris.

The more interesting thing is the agps wich enable the gps to have a lock 3 or 4 times faster than trinity.

On the cons, the buttons and wheel are far more eeeehhh, difficult to say for a non englishman as my english is far from perfect but let says "far more reachable" so you can touch them without wanted it and in your pocket you must be sure that the buttons are locked.

[n0t]

Are there any perfomance comparison tests online between the two units (with WM6 on trinity)?

[MacGuy2006]

The NVIDIA's look promising, but also look at the iPhone.

I have had the Trinity for over a year (after a Wizard,) and thought it was possibly the best phone available then. But after my wife got an iPhone few months ago, I've been feeling a bit primitive. I have not traded my Trinity, only because I actually use the GPS when traveling.

The iPhone is just so much more usable, it's not funny. The screen is great and it doesn't make my eyes blurry after looking at it (like the Trinity,) and the UI is just light years ahead.

If the next iPhone gets a real GPS, there will be no contest.
