T-Mobile UK have just launched a great value Android phone on their network called the Vivacity. With a 3.5 inch screen, 5 megapixel camera, support for 32GB memory cards and running Gingerbread the Vivacity should be a great upgrade to the older ‘Pulse’ range which was on T-Mobile last year.
The device seems to be the same as the Orange San Francisco II with some slightly differenty badges, which would kinda make sense with both networks working closer together. Expect a 5 megapixel camera, Android 2.3, 3.5″ 480×800 pixel screen, microSD card and 3.5mm audio port.
Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, FM Radio, WiFi and GPS are also on board.
Full press release below.
Update – Get the full specs on the T-Mobile site.
Introducing the T-Mobile Vivacity
T-Mobile launches exclusive new great value, feature-packed Android smartphone
London, 25October, 2011 – T-Mobile today announces the launch of the T-Mobile Vivacity – a great value, stylish Android smartphone ideal for enjoying multimedia on the move. The T-Mobile Vivacity will be available exclusively in T-Mobile stores, on the online shop and via telesales from today.
Running Android’s Gingerbread 2.3 OS, the T-Mobile Vivacity offers a winning combination of eye-catching design, essential multimedia features, as well as offering great value. A vivid, high resolution 3.5” WVGA TFT capacitive screen is perfect for web-browsing, viewing pictures or watching movies.

A 5.0 Megapixel camera allows you to capture life as you go, and, with support for up to 32GB Micro SD cards, you can enjoy favourite photos, movies and music, wherever you are. Built-in GPS functionality also allows you can keep track of your location, and offers the ability to add your location to Twitter and Facebook updates.
Available in sleek black or white variations, the T-Mobile Vivacity fuses advanced multimedia features with a truly premium look and feel – providing leading style that more than matches its impressive performance – all at a great value for money price point.

It offers the latest Android software, a large, high resolution touchscreen display and a stunning design – perfect for anyone looking for premium performance and great value for money.”

Still no full specs available? Processor speed, ROM, RAM?
Thought I would look on the website to, no details there either! Plenty of other waffle, 5megapixel camera, etc battery life, but no actual specs. Strange. Maybe t-mobile will update this later on?
No screen resolution quoted either. Although from the picture it looks like a wide format, which would presumably put it at WVGA? It looks too tall for HVGA.
We are trying to get more information on specs etc as I type and will update the story soon.
