Some of my thoughts on using the HTC Touch Cruise since last Friday:

• You really have to take out the battery to put in the SIM card. Took me a while to figure it out.
• Very lightweight. So light it almost feels like a toy.
• Fast. Way faster than the Tilt, which doesn't make much sense. Even HSDPA seems faster. It makes me wonder if the ROM cooked by AT&T is just crap.
• The speaker is pretty loud, which is nice for soft ringtones and speakerphone usage.
• The CD comes with Sprite Backup (v. 5.x, not the latest), TomTom 6.0.32 (with a free sampler map download), and Spb GPRS Monitor.
• WorldCard is not included. The Kaiser version found on xda-developers doesn't work either.
• Setting the phone up for AT&T was a no-brainer using the Setup Connection wizard.
• The corded headset is also used as the FM antenna. FM Radio won't work with the Tilt or 8525 corded headsets.
• The FM Radio app displays the station name and/or track info if provided.
• The standard Windows Mobile Pro apps are installed by default. The only other apps I noticed were RSS Hub which is based on Ilium's NewsBreak and Opera 8.65.
• The new Camera Album doesn't support the HTC Task Manager button settings. Taping/holding the X in the app, suspends it; never closes it.
• Windows Mobile Device Center show a nice picture of the Touch Cruise when syncing. It always displayed a generic PDA picture with both the Tilt and 8525.
• No problems connecting to the Prius and Jawbone via BT.

Bar none the best WinMo phone I've ever used.
