overall, great device i would rate it. wanted to get a tytn II initially for my second line.. but that was too bulky to carry or put in my small sling pouch. so ended up with viva.

compact and light, and it's reasonably priced. but bear in mind, standard package does not come with a headset handfree, u hv to purchase separately. comes in a very small box. I thought E71 box was small, but this one *lagi* smaller.

very intuitive interface i would say, been with touch and touch pro (tried) before.. touch is lag.. touch pro to me.. also lag.. not really that kind of "iphone's smooth"... this one by far.. smoothest i have seen from HTC. but sadly, it's with QVGA.. what if it uses Diamond screen? woow.. that would be nice.

nice to hold in hand, slightly thicker than HTC Touch / Touch Enhanced (dun hv the actual touch with me, as i sold it few months back)


glossy surface, finger print magnet.


thickness... i think it's still consider sleek.


2mp camera, the UI for the camera capturing/album mode is very direct mock-over from iPhone.


comparison of sizes






overall, nice. far more better than HTC Touch. but, if viva could be as slim as Touch.. then it would be another great point for sure.

mine comes with 1GB microSD. and free extra SP... as the one bundled with it.. made alot of bubble after applied. and it does comes with few booklets.. (small leaflets)

so far.. so good. good battery life.
it's time for finger-tapping interface now... for beginner.. get this one as starting point. hehe..

yes, no ear piece. but i'm fine with it.. since i got a spare itech bt. i got it from fresh gear, first viva's buyer as told by the salesperson.
