HTC Touch Viva

 HTC Touch Viva Discontinued
16th September 2008

The HTC Touch Viva is a slight upgrade to the original HTC Touch, the main improvements being a software update, more memory and better battery life.

This is a GSM-only handset with no 3G support, although it does come with WiFi connectivity. When the original Touch came out, the lack of 3G was annoying, but the Touch range now also has the HTC Touch 3G if you need UMTS support.

 HTC Touch Viva The screen on the Touch Viva is a 2.8" 240 x 320 pixel touch-sensitive panel. On the back is a fairly basic two megapixel camera, and the Touch Viva supports Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0 and microSD expandable memory. Internal memory is now 128MB (up from 64MB in the original), and the operating system is Windows Mobile 6.1 with HTC's enhanced TouchFLO interface running on top.

Inside is a 210 MHz TI OMAP 820 processor, the same as the original Touch. This isn't particularly fast, but it should get most things done.

HTC say that the 1100 mAh battery can now give the Touch Viva up to 8 hours talktime and 11 days standby time. If this is the case, then that is a significant improvement over the original Touch. Overall, the Touch Viva is a little larger than its predecessor at 105 x 49 x 16mm, but slightly lighter at 110 grams.

HTC say that the Touch Viva should be available from early October 2008, but did not give any guidance on price, although our best guess is that it will have a street price of around £250 or €350 SIM-free.
