Press Release of HTC Touch Viva For Singapore

I thought that Viva is not coming to Singapore. I was wrong. Viva is the lower end version of those Touch phones. It sports a lower processor and TouchFLO (instead of the current TouchFLO3D). However, it is very small and slim. The HTC Touch Viva is now available in black at selected authorized resellers at a suggested retail price of SGD $498. (inclusive of 7% GST). Press Release after the break.
