With the abundance of social networking enthusiasts, it was only a matter of time before a phone aimed specifically at this market was released. And which better company to do the honours than HTC? The Taiwanese firm has gone from strength to strength in the last couple of years, and has released not one, but two smartphones aimed specifically towards social networkers.

The HTC ChaCha features a QWERTY keyboard for fast text input; this makes updating your status or carrying out a live conversation with Facebook char a breeze. The second handset is called the HTC Salsa. Rather than a physical keyboard, this handset boasts a large touchscreen. Therefore, between the two, all bases are covered. Whether you prefer a touchscreen or a physical keyboard, HTC has the handset for you.

What exactly does this brace of new smartphones offer to make them so appealing to social networkers? One of the main and certainly most talked about features is the physical Facebook shortcut key. This is on hand to offer instant access to the world’s biggest social networking site. As with the Facebook app which is available on so many ...
... operating systems, your login details are saved, so there is no need to enter your email address and password to access your account.

One of the cool features of the Facebook button is that is will glow when you are browsing content that can be shared. For example, is you are listening to music on the phone, the button will glow indicating that you can share it with your Facebook contacts by posting it on your own wall, or on the wall on an individual contact. When the button is glowing and you want to share the content, simply tap the button and away you go. Additionally, it will also glow if there is an update available on your Facebook account; a new message in your inbox, an event invitation or a comment on your status will be indicated by the glowing button.

Aside from the many convenient and impressive features of the Facebook button and integration, both phones of course, also deliver in all the other aspects of their specification sheets. The HTC Salsa comes with a 5.4 inch touchscreen, comprehensive multimedia compatibility, and all the other bells and whistles you would expect from a new Android smartphone. The HTC ChaCha has a Qwerty keyboard along with equally impressive specifications; both handsets boasts a 5 megapixel camera (with the ability to instantly share photos and videos on Facebook, naturally) and the latest version of the Android operating system, version 2.4 aka Gingerbread.

The presence of the new Android software indicated that these new handsets are no gimmick. Whilst the appeal is there for the millions of Facebook users, the fact that the manufacturer has used the latest version of Google’s software shows us that the specifications, and no doubt the user experience of the HTC Salsa and the HTC ChaCha are nothing short of exceptional.
