HTC announces HTC Touch 3G and HTC Touch Viva

HTC Touch 3G

HTC announced two successors to its HTC Touch today: the HTC Touch 3G and the HTC Touch Viva.

Continuing HTC’s touch-phone tradition, the Touch 3G and Touch Viva utilize TouchFLO, HTC’s finger-touch optimized navigation experience enabling quick, one-touch access to the people, messages and information people want.

The HTC Touch 3G is powered by a 528MHz Qualcomm chipset and Windows Mobile Professional 6.1 with HTC TouchFLO (not the 3D version). It comes with quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dual-band HSDPA (the European 900/2100MHz bands) connectivity, a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display, 192MB RAM and 256MB ROM, GPS/A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, a 3.2MP camera, a microSD card slot, and a 110mAh battery. It will be offered in black, gold, blue and brown.

The HTC Touch Viva is powered by a 201Mhz TI OMAP processor and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with TouchFLO (again not 3D). It comes with quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity only, a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display, 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM, GPS/A-GPS, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, a 2MP camera, a microSD card slot, and a 110mAh battery. It will only be offered in Storm Gray (hopefully not that glitzy shade seen earlier).

Both devices will be available in early October in a variety of markets.
