Well three new HTC devices in one day, it’s too much to take in, this one is the weakest of the three. The Viva will have a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD card slot, 1100 mAh battery, QVGA screen and a 200Mhz TI OMAP 850 CPU, 128 meg Ram and 256 Meg Rom, WiFi b and g, Windows Mobile 6.1 and GPRS / EDGE.

Leigh has posted a video showing the software in action which you can see along with download links after the break.
