What the Critics Are Saying...


CNET
CNET

The HTC Touch Viva is a simple-looking phone with simple ambitions. There's no 3G and no GPS, but do fewer features mean it's a bad smart phone? We tested the Viva out to see if it's too simple for its own good or if it's a bargain. You can pick up a Viva for around £250 SIM-free from online...
