I think this makes perfect sense if the Touch Diamond is going to cost $300 after rebates. If they can make this available for under $100 then it's a nice upgrade from the original Touch but not quite at the Diamond's level. This is exactly what I would get for my wife, given the option. But I'm guessing it won't be available from Sprint nor AT&T, so I'm still looking for something for her.]]>Aug 29th 2008 1:05PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/29/fcc-approves-an-htc-touch-cruise-with-north-american-3g-but-w/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/29/fcc-approves-an-htc-touch-cruise-with-north-american-3g-but-w/Aug 29th 2008 1:16PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/29/fcc-approves-an-htc-touch-cruise-with-north-american-3g-but-w/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/29/fcc-approves-an-htc-touch-cruise-with-north-american-3g-but-w/Aug 29th 2008 1:29PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/29/fcc-approves-an-htc-touch-cruise-with-north-american-3g-but-w/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/29/fcc-approves-an-htc-touch-cruise-with-north-american-3g-but-w/
1. It may be sold as a US unbranded/unlocked version by retailers (NewEgg, TigerDirect, BestBuy, etc.)
2. It may find its way into regional carriers (Viaero, or Centennial or something like that.)
3. It may be destined to Claro of Puerto Rico, who has been releasing outdated devices (like the Treo 750 and the original HTC Touch) for the past four months or so. Phones to be sold in Puerto Rico have to be approved by the same FCC.]]>Aug 29th 2008 1:30PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/29/fcc-approves-an-htc-touch-cruise-with-north-american-3g-but-w/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/29/fcc-approves-an-htc-touch-cruise-with-north-american-3g-but-w/Aug 29th 2008 2:16PM
