Standing by their belief that touch is the way of the future, HTC has announced three new cell phones catering to every segment of the touch-frenzied consumers of today. Of the three, the HTC Touch Viva, which we have already talked about, turns out to be the perfect product for any budget-minded consumer, with a few sacrifices in its specifications compared to the other splendid devices that HTC has announced lately. The Touch Viva’s design is reminiscent of the original HTC Touch, a proven winner, but with a few improvements at the expense of losing some. This smartphone is powered by a TI OMAP 850 processor running at just 201MHz helped along by 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM, although the touchscreen TFT display still manages to be generous at 2.8 inches with a 240×320-pixel resolution. All the usual connectivity options seem to be included with Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi in 802.11b/g flavor, and network support is limited to quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequencies. The Touch Viva also gets a bump up to Windows Mobile 6.1 compared to the original Touch and gains TouchFLO 3D instead of just good old TouchFLO. A 2-megapixel camera is also added as an afterthought along with microSD support.

The HTC Touch Viva will be available starting next month.
