Yes it does i believe all windows 6 devices do
When is this going to be available in Australia? It was supposed to be here in December...
Best Smartphone I have ever had. Just upgraded to this from dopod 838. Got it Thursday and am still finding new things I like
The good: Co Pilot 7 - was a bit sceptical at first having had tom tom on the old 838. I was surprised at how much better Co Pilot is. I thought it wouldn't be as good. Nice size, easy to use, clear speaker phone. Too many more things to list
The bad: It doesn't make coffee
By far one of the best experiences I could have with a phone! My phone just broke so I went and got this one, picked it up for a BARGAIN - didnt even realise it was so new or what it was worth until I looked on the net when I got home, so far I am VERY impressed. I bought it for while my phone was being fixed and I intended to sell it. I am really becoming very fond of this phone and will probably keep both!
The good: The OS is better than WM5 which my standalone PDA runs. Heaps of games/entertainment for boring moments. Easy to use as a phone, great for email/net on the go.
The bad: Slightly slower than Im used to in a phone but definitely not a problem just takes getting used to.
Great Smartphone! How do I get it to work on Telstras NextG network???
The best PDA phone of the market. Better than the iPhone v2 except for the iPhone's good user-interface and thinness and screen size.
The good: Has nearly every feature. Works very well. Quite a few more features than iPhone v2
The bad: CoPilot live is not very good, and often can't be relied on. Much worse than Nokia Navigator. Thicker than iPhone, and user-interface not as good. Backlight doesn't come on until phone is unlocked, so very difficult to see buttons to unlock phone during daylight.
The Cruise is our favourite of the current HTC line-up and compares well to most of the competition. HTC does a good job of making the touchscreen experience easy to use, however, it won't be for everyone.
RRP: AU$1149.00
