Today HTC has announced its Touch Cruise smartphone, bundled with a new software feature called Footprints. This feature will allow users to take notes and an audio clip associated with images taken with the phone's cam, while identifying its specific geographical location. In addition to geo-tagging images, Footprints also auto-names them with the general location or area where the picture was taken.

Reportedly, T-Mobile will release the HTC Touch Viva as the MDA Basic on its network in early February. While this phone isn't high-end, it still offers a set of decent features such as a 2Mpix camera, GSM/EDGE, TouchFLO 2D, Wi-Fi and GPS.

T-Mobile UK has released the MDA Vario IV (HTC Touch Pro) for its customers, and became the second carrier after Vodafone to offer this handset in the UK.

The device is available online via telephone upgrades, and many customers have already ordered it.

While we don't know that for sure now, those who will manage to bring the phone stateside will apparently be able to use 3G on it.

It's hard to tell whether this is real or not, but judging by picture it looks like it's a BlackBerry Application Suite running on a HTC Touch Pro. Rumors of such a thing were going around back in 2007, and assuming that the photo is real, it's very nice to finally see it on a live shot.

HTC has issued a new update for the Hong Kong version of the HTC Touch HD. The update takes the ROM version to 1.19.831.0 and the Radio version to 1.09.25.14, and includes minor fixes, some of which are listed below:

• Resolves the following CSL Real-time Stock Quote & Foreign Exchange Service issues;
• Fixes the font size display problem in Opera;
• Resolves the issue of getting an error when downloading songs from CSL WAP site with .

Here's a new video demonstrating the Android OS running on an HTC Touch smartphone. As seen, it runs pretty smooth, but the best thing about Android in this case is that you'll be able to return to Windows Mobile anytime by simply restarting your handset. Ain't it cool?

The white HTC Touch Diamond has finally appeared at the HTC’s website. And just in time for Christmas too, as one can't think of a better time than now to release a white-colored device. However, the offer is valid for Europe, while the U.S. release date is still under question. Pity.
