HTC ChaCha Android phone
The HTC ChaCha offers smart integration with Facebook and also possesses an excellent physical keyboard. Its small screen will frustrate users keen on mobile Web browsing, but if you can live with these drawbacks, the ChaCha is very good value for money. If you're a heavy Facebook user, and you're looking for an affordable smartphone, HTC claims it has the answer for you. The HTC ChaCha combines a full QWERTY keyboard and touchscreen with a dedicated Facebook button that allows easy integration with the world's most popular social networking service. Although the keyboard is a winner and the Vodafone-exclusive ChaCha is good value at this price, its small screen will frustrate those keen on Web browsing.
Pros:
- Smart Facebook integration
- Excellent design and keyboard
- Smooth and polished software
Cons:
- Small and cramped screen
- Mediocre Web browsing experience
- Vodafone exclusive

HTC ChaCha
Bucking the trend of skinny black boxes is an endeavour with as many risks as rewards, but HTC takes a punt with the new ChaCha Android smartphone, and we definitely think that it pays off.
Pros:
- Cute design with a premium finish
- Facebook is integrated well
Cons:
- Small screen is problematic
- Some apps appear sideways
- Average battery life and camera

- Difficult battery cover

HTC ChaCha
The ChaCha makes a strong first impression, but this hasn't stayed with us through the review process. HTC does a great job or redesigning its Sense UI for the small screen of the ChaCha, but we can't help wishing that it had just given us a bigger screen, instead.
Pros:
- Cute design with a premium finish
- Facebook is integrated well
Cons:
- Small screen is problematic
- Some apps appear sideways
- Average battery life and camera

HTC Status
The HTC Status is the country's first-ever "Facebook phone." Designed in collaboration with Facebook, the Status was first introduced at Mobile World Congress in the form of the HTC ChaCha .
Pros:
- The HTC Status is a well-made phone with a fantastic QWERTY keyboard and a slight bend to the body that makes texting that much easier
- The Facebook button works as advertised, and it could be a great asset to anyone who's a Facebook fanatic
Cons:
- The HTC Status has a tiny screen, with hard-to-read text and tedious scrolling
- It also has an odd landscape-mode screen as a default, which makes portrait-only apps rather problematic to use

HTC ChaCha Facebook Phone Review: Let's Just Pretend This Isn't It
The FACEBOOK PHONE is here. As it turns out, it's a lot like a non-Facebook phone – a small Android phone with an astoundingly excellent keyboard. It just happens to have a Facebook button! Does this matter? Not much, no.
