I think this is the series that HTC dubbed itself as the affordable TouchFLO 3D powered handset that may suit well with student pocket. So don’t get angry if you couldn’t get such sophisticated features like the one we used to get from other Touch series. Touch Viva will sport on 2MP camera with fixed focus, quad band network, no HSDPA, no FM radio, and one sad thing to be told; HTC has replaced the hard glass screen with a standard plastic film.

Touch Viva hardware is also pretty funny if we compare it to other Touch series. So if all Touch series devices are powered by Qualcomm processor then Viva will only work with the TI’s OMAP™ 850, 201 MHz processor. But with a suitable price, I am still optimist if Viva will have a chance to boost HTC’s revenue next year. Let’s just hope that HTC will charge this low-end smartphone at $200 to $300.
