The HTC ChaCha is one of two new handsets that have been customised for use on Facebook. Like the other model in the range, the Salsa, the phone on its own is an impressive smartphone with high specification and an impressive list of features. The additional support for social networking however will make this model and instant favourite amongst younger users who rely upon this medium as a means of communications perhaps more than any other method available.
You may ask yourself why HTC need to feature two models in their line up that are designed for Facebook and the answer is quite simple. Whereas the Salsa is more like your standard smartphone, the ChaCha also throws into the equation a full Qwerty keypad. This will appeal to anybody who likes to use instant messaging services including Facebooks own as well as also being of benefit for general text and e mail composition. In order to allow the room that the extra keys require, the screen on this model has been reigned back to 2.6 inches but still offers a high level of resolution thanks to the 480 x 320 display. Like the Blackberry Torch the screen offers full touch sensitive functionality which is pleasing, meaning you can perform all manner of tasks as you would on a standard smartphone and purely use the physical keys for typing. Even if you are one of the few people who are yet to succumb to the temptation of Facebook, the ChaCHa still proves a impressive handset not only thanks to the Qwerty system but also the use of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the very latest version of the best selling operating system.
So lets now take a look at why the HTC ChaCha is any better than other models when using with Facebook. Well for starters the phone offers a dedicated Facebook button just like its sister model the Salsa. This button sits on the bottom edge of the phone and lights up when it can perform a function. This means if you are doing something that can be shared via the social networking site it will let you know. Thus if you have just taken a snap that can be uploaded, or have typed something that could be used as an update the ChaCha will tell you so. For the user this saves you having to physically log on to the site in order to perform such tasks. Obviously the phones features make it ideal for using Facebook Chat and HTC acknowledge this my giving this facility its own widget which allows you to group certain friends together as well as check if they are online. The feature also enables you to hold multiple conversations at the same time, making it the perfect instant messaging phone.
