It is a great pocket pc. I m quite satisfied with its performance and beauty. WM6.1 makes its performance too smooth.
TouchFlo is also ideal to handle so many tasks.

how do you replace the battery? can see a seperate battery cover in the pic's. Or does this phone have a non-user replaceable battery like the iphone?

So far I love this phone. I am able to take care of all my e-mail, surf the web, and handle a few programs
that I use for reference (I work in a pharmacy). I do love the small design but I'm not too keen with the raised bezel. I try to use the phone without the stylus but when I need to use the scroll bar, that's when I have to take it out. The keypad is adequate for the size of the screen but although I have normal sized fingers, I do hit the wrong key every now and then. Speaking of, the screen size I say is really not for everyone. I don't suggest reading a long word document for long unless you want to strain your eyes.

The call quality is great and the wi-fi is pretty quick. I do not have EDGE or 3G so I can't really tell you the quality of those services. I do have some of my music on the Viva and the quality is pretty good. The camera I would say is adequate. I've seen better on other phones. The Touch Flo works wel with this phone and is responsive. The UI can be worked with so you won't have to use the start menu all the time. This I really liked. Texting I simple and actually saves it as conversations so you can keep track with what you and your "textee" talked about.

I will say that this is a great phone for regular use. An all in one device to entertain you while standing in line at the bank or maybe for college students too. I would not recommend it for business use though. It is in fact an entry level Pocket PC. But for the price I believe it's worth having.

just to make a small comment
i currently own the touch diamond...its a great phone, its has 192mb ram and 528 mhz processor...and with all of that..the phone used to lag a bit...
just by using touch flo 3D, 54% of the ram would be taken...
so imagine if on this phone
they have touch flo 3D, and only 128mb ram and just a 201 mhz processor???
i dont think its gona work well....

> In reply to Greco @ 2008-10-12 20:21 from puD3 - click to readI'm currently using a Touch with the same specs as the Viva... and 201Mhz is fast enough... I use wifi a lot (if you want a fast browser use Opera 9.5; better than IE) and make tons of calls and text tons of messages... also use music a lot... and no problems!!! I have no lags... Also, I´m using Manilla 2D UI which is identical to that of the HTC Touch 3D and Viva... so, yes, it is fast enough

Ist 201 MHz to low for regularly using WiFi, calling and writing text messages? I wouldn't use music so often, other features are nice but not necessary used every day...so is 201 MHz processor enough or to low? does anyone have experience of this point with the HTC touch?

i lost my htc touch last week so i had no other option but to buy a new one. so i bought an htc touch viva, it has more features than the old touch but i think the memory is lower. it its longer but lighter than the old touch. and the price is almost the same just slightly higher.

man, you guys are missing the point. this is an entry level phone. From what i heard its price should be low. If you want a fast processor then go for the touch 3g. What htc did was take a popular phone, give it a new design, say its actually a quad band, give it a new interface( which i heard isn't slow on the 200mhz) and sell it low. If you want high end, then your at the wrong phone.

it is practically the same as the htc touch. i'm not so sure about the design. the "sunken" screen doesn't work for me. anyway, htc rocks and go htc touch hd!!!!!! (sorry viva!)

Exactly! Like i said already 200MHz is much below par...

The original Touch already experienced lag problems. Hopefully this phone is aimed for people with lower budget. And another BIG hope is that the new touchFLO is more efficient so rendering graphics for the mediocre processor will not provide a laggy experience.

This looks like the same underpowered Touch with improved interface... Unless the processor can be overclocked (as the original Touch can be, with the help of some 3rd party app) I would steer away from this to prevent the risk of having a supremely laggy phone.

200Mhz is much below par.
