I have been wondering for the last month so,by the end of this week i am gonna have one of the 3 and this is how i think of it.

I know how limited the iphone is on some of the stuff that it is supposed to do (video recording,MMS,bluetooth) but the design is just ages ahead with a great screen that makes browsing easy and its also great for media files.

Now,the HTC touch can get all sorts of apps and more but it doesn't have the feeling of the apple.

And the HTC cruise is so much cooler looking than the Touch :D

Right now i am confused...

Well, my old PPC is rubbish and I have been planning to buy a new one too and I'm confused too. I've been looking around for quite sometime, but... here you go:

iPhone is too huge (I had a clone) and it's limited

HTC touch, too slow, only 200Mhz.

HTC cruise, I never actually looked into it, but it's quite cool.. I might consider it

Did you look into the HTC touch Dual, it's like the touch but it has a keypad and the processor is 400mhz, but not built in wifi.

ATM I'm thinking about the HTC touch dual, XDA stealth (hard to find on eBay) and HTC cruise.

Basically its only the wifi that keeps the dual back,but the cruise has the same spects and it looks more handy with that wheel thing so this is where my money goes so far.

For me the iphone is perfect when it comes to screen resolution,that thing is just amazing !

Yeah, that's what is kinda holding me back from the dual... no wifi :( Although I bought a wifi sd card for my current PPC and I rarely use it.. but who knows... might come in handy.

The cruise seems just fine so far.. I think I might get one of those too but it's quite expensive..... I don't want to risk $700 on eBay!

[Acheron]

whoah ! America ! You will get it 250 dollars cheaper than me :( Besides,you don't need ebay when you can get it in a local hardware store.

[TcM]

You are kidding me right? Today I checked a local shop for the HTC Touch and HTC Touch Dual, they were over €750... No way!

HTC Touch is quite cheap, if you look good on eBay you can find some at $350

[Acheron]

Well,i wouldn't be willing to make a purchase over the internet but its your call.If i get it before you do do,i will let you know on how it runs.

[TcM]

I'm sure you will... I'm not planning to spend that sort of money on ebay and neither in a local store... I think I might go with something cheaper.

The iPhone is far too much hyped for what it does. Besides, it costs us £900 over here in the UK, over an 18-month contract - now how much is that in USD?

[Acheron]

In usa (i supposes you mean usa) it costs about 500$ and that is about 300€ in greece its not even imported officially.

I finally got the cuise it was 600€ but if you chose to to get the gps you go down at 500 and if you get it in contract you have it for 400 + memory.
Still exploring it and i am not all that impressed but i would say its rather good.

[TcM]

I thought that in my country only PDA's were expensive.. but 600€ isn't so cheap either, but at least it's the cruise. I can't find it in my country.

UPDATE:

I bought the HTC Artemis, MDA Compact 3 actually... because it has no wifi.
I just received it a few hours ago, now I'm gonna order a micro SD and I hope it will be ok :)
