"HTC Touch Cruise will provide a reliable and precise navigation when needed. Aside from that, you will make and receive calls with a very good sound quality, no matter in which country you are. The device can be operated single-handedly -thanks to the TouchFlo 2.0 technology and the rotating 4-way D-pad. In contrast to Artemis, which didn’t have 3G support, Cruise has a tri-band one, meaning that even if you are in an area with no WiFi coverage, you will still be able to reply to an important e mail, for example. If you are on the market for PocketPC with a built-in GPS, take a look at the HTC Touch Cruise, and if not, consider TyTN II from the same manufacturer." 
PhoneArena.com takes a look at the Touch Cruise and gives it an "Excellent" rating, with only a few drawbacks like camera quality (so, what else is new?). With quadband GSM, triband HSDPA, GPS, 400MHz processor, a goodly portion of RAM and ROM, the Touch Cruise is a decent alternative if you're not hung up on absolutely having a keyboard.
