I tried out an actual working Dual at Best Buy before purchasing the Touch Cruise. I was trying to determine if I really needed to have a physical keyboard. The Dual's physical SureType keyboard has an identical on-screen version, so it was a great way to test which one works best for me. I determined it was a toss-up. While the physical keyboard gives you some nice tactal feedback, the fact that it too is a SureType style made it really no faster or easier to use than the on screen keyboard. Given my test results, my decision on the Dual versus the Cruise came down to Wifi. The Cruise has it, the Dual does not. Otherwise, they are both very good phones, but the biggest frustration comes from one of the greatest assets. The Touch Flo interface is so good, that I become very aware of exactly where it ends and the regular old Windows Mobile UI returns. Touch Flo is like a delicious frosting on a day old pound cake.
