Dubai: HTC Corporation on Saturday announced the launch of the new HTC Touch Viva in Dubai.

The Touch Viva uses TouchFLO, HTC's finger-touch optimised navigation experience enabling quick, one-touch access.

The Touch Viva blends an affordable touch phone with the benefits of HTC's TouchFLO, an easy to use phone and an optimised mobile internet experience.

In addition, with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, users can easily synchronize their calendar, contacts, emails and more with their personal computer.

"The Touch Viva is a stylish, flexible and user-friendly touch phone that is also affordable," said Kevin Chen, General Manager, HTC Middle East and Africa.

"The HTC Touch Viva is equally appealing to both professionals and the younger generation," Chen said.

The device will be available in grey colour through all major retailers in the UAE this month at a starting price of Dh1,299.
