HTC Touch Viva review
Network and connections
An interesting device, suitable for a Business audience but also for those looking for a valid, functional and complete companion for every situation. The HTC Touch Viva has a Quadband GSM network receiver, on frequencies of 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. Signal coverage is optimal in any condition, despite the lack of UMTS support. To browse the Internet there is an internal modem with GPRS/EDGE technology. The HTML browser will therefore be able to quickly display Web pages. The Wi-Fi antenna for distributed networks is present instead. The convenient Bluetooth for data transfer is also present, as well as USB support.
Design and features
the clean and refined style gives the Touch Viva a simple look. The edges are rounded to ensure an optimal grip in any situation. The dimensions remain compact, so as to offer handling without compromise: 16 mm in thickness for 110 grams of weight. The front part houses the display, a 2.8 inch TFT, capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors. It is also equipped with Touch Screen technology, for an even more precise touch to manage your device. Just below is a convenient directional pad, along with two keys for managing calls.
Main features
The platform for this phone is Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, complete and functional right from the basic configuration. Java support also allows you to install software as you like, so as to better personalize your device. The classic management tools are present, such as contacts list, organizer, alarm clock and calculator. With intuitive writing it is possible to quickly compose short messages but also more articulated E-mails. The readers for Office and PDF documents allow you to view their attachments. For telephone functions there are the hands-free, the voice recorder and multi-conference support.
Entertainment and multimedia
An excellent tool also for leisure time needs. The integrated camera has a resolution of 2 megapixels, allowing you to obtain valid images in any condition, also thanks to dedicated functions. It is also possible to record short videos. The memory available to the user is expandable via convenient microSD cards. The multimedia player instead offers the possibility to faithfully play your favorite audio and video files. Or you can listen to your favorite radio stations thanks to the AM/FM radio antenna. The battery life is also good, lasting up to 270 hours in Stand-by.
