A North American version of the brand new HTC Touch Cruise (also known as HTC Touch Cruise with Footprints or HTC Touch Cruise 09) was recently approved by the FCC, meaning that we might see it soon on sale in the US.

The NAM Touch Cruise comes with quad-band GSM connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) and dual-band HSDPA connectivity (850 / 1900 MHz). This makes it suitable for a release via AT&T – but, of course, it doesn’t mean the carrier will actually want to bring the handset into its family of products. 

According to its user manual, the Touch Cruise is sold together with a 1GB microSD card that includes “map content for bundled GPS software”, which is, obviously, a good thing.

As for the rest of Cruise’s specs and features, you can view them here.

The smartphone’s  European version (with 900 / 2100 HSDPA) will be available for purchase starting this spring, at a price that was not announced yet.

HTC’s got an all-new version of its GPS-centric Touch Cruise handset, with a thinner, slicker design and a new HTC Footprints app for integrating that location data with photos and notes. Of course, the phone doubles as a traditional in-car navigation system, cradle included, with GPS and a-GPS, but there’s plenty else to love here, including quad band GSM, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, a microSD slot and a 3.2 megapixel camera. The 2.8-inch QVGA screen betrays this phone’s consumer-bent, but the truly notable functionality here is actually in the software: HTC Footprints takes geotagging a step further, allowing to to take notes and audio clips and embed them in a “postcard” of sorts, all still tied to that GPS location data — the cards are even auto-named by their location. Footprints also works outdoors and indoors, which isn’t quite explained, but we’re guessing it just remembers where you were when you lost a signal. There’s a world-friendly WCDMA / HSPA 900 / 2100MHz version, of course, but us North Americans will be getting the 850 / 1900MHz flavor as a unlocked handset for $500 to $600 in Q2. Check out the read links below for the full PR and some early hands-ons, and there’s video after the break.

Presented in Germany as O2 Xda Guide, the new HTC Touch Cruise is now officially announced for the rest of the world too.

Yeah, you read well: HTC Touch Cruise – this is the name of HTC’s latest device, although there’s already a Touch Cruise, launched by the Taiwanese company about two years ago.

Anyway, name aside, the Touch Cruise is an elegant handset that comes with many features, as well as with HTC Footprints, a new development from HTC.

What’s Footprints all about? I’ll let HTC speak for itself:

It’s an application experience that enables people to permanently chronicle their special moments by capturing a digital postcard on their phone. Once captured, Footprints provides the ability to take notes and an audio clip of that favorite restaurant or special place while identifying its specific geographical location. In addition to identifying each postcard with its specific GPS co-ordinates, Footprints also auto-names each postcard with its general location or area.

And here’s the new Touch Cruise in all its glory:

The handset’s full list of specs and features includes:

• Quad band GSM connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz)
• Dual band HSDPA connectivity (900 / 2100 MHz) for data transfer speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps
• Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with TouchFLO
• 2.8 inch TFT touchscreen display with 240 x 320 pixels
• GPS and A-GPS
• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR
• 3.2 MP camera
• MicroSD card slot
• Qualcomm MSM7225 (528 MHz) chipset
• 512MB flash ROM and 256MB RAM
• Talk time: up to 6.6 hours
• Standby time: up to 14 days
• 102 x 53.5 x 14.5 millimeters
• 103 grams

The new HTC Touch Cruise will be available around the globe starting this spring. Its price is not known yet.
