HTC doesn't launch its handsets only under their own brand, but they also fulfill network providers' requirements and provides alternatives specially accustomed to the provider's needs and named after them. O2, Vodafone and T-Mobile have been partners of the manufacturer for a long time, so it's no surprise to see the cheaper Touch Viva appear at the magenta provider, even though it's called MDA Basic. The handset, costing only 4.95 euros in Germany, is based on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, has a 2.8", 240 x 320 pixels large display, a 200 MHz TI OMAP CPU, WLAN and EDGE support and a 2 megapixel camera with fix focus. The interesting feature of the model, based on TouchFLO 2D, is that the pre-installed office suite can edit documents as well. T-Mobile MDA Basic will be available in Germany as of February.
