HTC Touch Viva: The Successful Touch Model Continued
By Jenny • Sep 29th, 2008 • Category: HTCHTC remains one of the major heavyweights in the smartphone sector, and the HTC Touch series has played a major role in this success. Never content to rest on their laurels, the company continues to churn out new and more advanced versions of the HTC Touch; the latest of which is the HTC Touch Viva. This smartphone offers only marginal design and specifications changes from its predecessor, although the mobile’s entire interface has been completely redone.
The Via was introduced by the company to the world along with two other newbies, the HTC Touch 3G and HTC Touch HD; and the mobile shares many similarities with its two contemporaries. For instance, the Viva supports GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 networks, GPRS, EDGE, WLAN and Bluetooth with A2DP. However, the Viva is less powerful than the Touch HD the with its 201 MHz TI OMAP 850 processor, 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM; but still on par with smartphones like the HTC Touch P3450. The Viva is also rather compact with dimensions of 104.5 x 59 x 15.8 mm and a weight of only 110 grams. Ergonomically the Viva is also an excellent handheld gadget with its easy navigation and firm hold.
Like all HTC Touch models, the Viva offers a stunning TFT touch screen. The decent sized 2.8 inch (240 x 320 pixels) display offers stunning images and in-depth clarity. Just like other HTC Touch smartphones, the Viva is optimised for managing both business and entertainment on the go. It comes bundled with lots of essential applications such as Email, Instant Messaging, text messaging, HTML (PocketIE) browser, the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system, games, TouchFLO finger swipe navigation, Handwriting recognition, 5-way navigation, Pocket Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF viewer), Java MIDP 2.0, Voice memo and more. Not to forget, the Viva is also capable of playing MP3s for entertainment purposes should one desire a break from they busy work schedule. Furthermore, the smartphone comes equipped with a 2 megapixels integrated camera to allow you to capture those happy moments with utmost clarity in no time.
