You guys know the Raphael is the same device with the keyboard attached, 4GB internal missing and a mSD slot added, right? It'll be running everything else the same.

Well the same cannot be said regarding the Touch Cruise. My TC is much faster, stable, and more responsive than the 750 I had. That's even with all the graphics driver issues that affect the Touch family.

I am not surprised you feel the 700wx was faster considering the Touch was powered by the 200mhz OMAP.

No, I have the CDMA Touch which has the 400mHz CPU. (same as the Cruise I believe) Maybe the 750 is different (I don't see how) but the 700wx is unquestionably faster, which is pathetic given the big hardware disadvantage it has to the Touch.

So the Touch Cruise doesn't suffer from some of the disastrous bugs on the Touch? Such as: phone periodically won't come out of standby mode (for those of you who have/had a 6700, this is the good 'old DSOD you're no-doubt aware of), or the problem where the storage card gets corrupted, or the bug where if you enable password protection it minimizes all open applications when you turn the screen off?

If these don't exist on the Cruise, then I'll hold out hope that HTC's upcoming ROM patch for the Touch might fix these things.

I'm definitely looking forward to learning more about that device.
