HTC Touch Viva

HTC Touch Viva is the next version of the traditional HTC Touch with upgraded software and additional RAM. Looks Slightly improved than its predecessor but no big deal. Again this smartphone device is a non-3G GSM handset with WiFi enabled.
The screen on the HTC Touch Viva is a 2.8 inch, 240 x 320 pixel touch-sensitive panel. On the back is the same old 2 megapixel camera. The Touch Viva supports Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0 and microSD expandable memory. Internal memory is increased to 128MB (up from 64MB in the traditional HTC Touch), and the operating system is new Windows Mobile 6.1 with HTC's enhanced TouchFLO interface running on top.

The HTC Touch Viva runs on a 210 MHz TI OMAP 820 processor, the same as the original Touch. This isn't particularly fast, but enough.
HTC Viva comes with a 1100 mAh battery can now give this phone up to 8 hours talktime and 11 days standby time. This definately is a significant improvement over the original Touch. The Touch Viva comes at 105 x 49 x 16mm dimensions, but slightly lighter at 110 grams.
This phone should be launched pretty soon and the costing should be around the same as that of the traditional Touch.
On a whole, this phone is a upgraded version of the traditional Touch but lacks 3G. You can go for the HTC Touch 3G if you are so interested in 3G. Otherwise phone is cool and compact.
