Pocket PC Thoughts: Remember When Device Names Were Easy To Remember? The Touch Cruise Becomes Movistar's Touch Find

"Oh, to be a fly on the wall in one of those meetings once in a while where product names get hammered out. Seriously, what possessed Movistar to latch on to "Touch Find" for this one? Was HTC's own name, Touch Cruise, not good enough for 'em? Or heck, how about the Xda Orbit 2 (pictured) moniker used by Movistar's own O2 subsidiary? Alas, yeah, the latest rumor here is that the Touch Cruise will be christened Touch Find for Movistar's networks, featuring 3.6Mbps HSDPA, WiFi, GPS, and a 3 megapixel cam. We don't know for certain whether the Touch Find will adopt the O2's same pebble-esque case or the Touch Cruise's harder lines, but it certainly seems like it'd make more sense to be consistent within the company ranks and go Xda Orbit 2-style"

Ah, the good old days when I could keep track of HTC codenames, vendor names, and more without too much trouble or worry of brain damage. Movistar, unhappy with the idea people would cruise with their Touch Cruise apparently, changes the name to Touch Find. Cruise, find, whaever... Still a pretty attractive unit.
