Included with the last press release along side the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket was the announcement of the HTC Vivid. I Thought we should focus on these two devices separately since the Vivid is not a follow up to an already released device. You may remember the Vivid by its code name, HTC Raider (which is its name in some other regions still). The Vivid is features a 4.5-inch qHD display, a 1.2 Ghz dual-core processor and 8MP camera with 1080p video. It also features a dual LED flash on the rear.
AT&T is launching its 4G LTE network to more regions on Nov 6th and will be launching both the HTC Vivid and Samsung Skyrocket at the same time. This move will easily help bring in customers that want faster data speeds and a phone that can support it all at the same time.
They Vivid is said to launch at $199.99 on a new two-year contract. While the slightly more powerful Skyrocket is set to come in slightly higher at $229.99.
