HTC Touch Viva
The Viva includes a decent 2.0 megapixel camera with zoom, auto-focus video recorder, but since the Viva was not designed as a camera phone, the camera is rudimentary at the best. As for the TouchFlo 3D finger swipe navigation, it could use a bit of tune-up asthe animation is a bit slow.
The HTC Touch Viva also comes with a 1100mAH Lithium Ion battery, allowing for eight hour talk time and is capable of lasting about 270 hours in standby mode.
The only disappointing bits of the viva are its slow startup, though thing do run at a decent speed after. Another lament we have caused by the Viva only having measly 256MB on-board memory. While this is enough for work related users, it doesn’t allow for much of the content that gets uploaded into PDA, namely music files, photos and other programs. But the Viva has a saving grace for this probleam, a micro-SD expansion slot that would make up for the memory deficiency.
Also, the Viva does not support 3g connection, but instead supports EDGE/GPRS wireless data connections, so you might want to opt for its 3G enabled brother instead, the HTC Touch 3G, All in all, the Viva is literally what you get for what you pay.

Samsung i780
The Samsung i780 is bundled with a GPS, 2MP cam, front VGA videocall camera, Windows Mobile 6, 3.6 Mbps HSDPA, 320×320 TFT touchscreen, QWERTY keybord, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth v2.0. The device is only 120g and fits surprisingly well in your hand. Although it features slimness, it might prove a little difficult for users with bigger hands to type.
The screen and joystick size too could have been bigger. But the speed and user friendly interface makes up for it all. What really knocks competition away is the memory expandability. The i780 supports MicroSD cards up to 16GB.
