a fun reliable phone great for chatters!

HTC bill it as ideal for social media, and generally I think so (although not in the way it was made). The top points of this phone are definitely the qwerty keyboard (it looks like a blackberry), but with all the benefits of being an android phone with all the apps.

directional Arrows on the Keypad !

Only keyboard phone with Arrows on the Keypad located on bottom right hand corner. Tried this phone out for a bit when curious about Android OS, but did not want to part with the physical qwerty k.b. that I had become accustomed to on my previous blackberries from work. Just my luck, H.T.C.

Perfect phone for those who want a tagentbord. I was unlucky and got one without ÅÄÖ, but everything else works perfectly. A small minus for battery life. Almost six months later now. Battery problem was solved after about 5 charges. Loading each / every night now.

HTC ChaCha Touch-and-type Smartphone

Like any new SKU, all it takes is one manufacturer to launch a successful product and then everyone piles on. Apple's iPad is one such example that comes to mind, since before its existence no one really cared much about tablets.

The real review on this phone

The HTC STATUS as a phone that I use ALL THE TIME AND FOR ALL THE PHONE CAN DO. I tried to change phones within 1 to 2 days after I got it and AT&T WOULD NOT LET ME. My grace period had run out even though i had just got it from them.
Pros:
  • It takes good pictures
Cons:
  • No battery like
  • Freezes constantly
  • Extremely limited internal memory
  • Drops calls even to AT&T
  • You make calls and the person can't hear you
  • You miss calls because the phone will not ring or vibrate
  • You have to delete apps and updates to add new ones
  • Cannot do updates no memory available

Very Good Phone

I had to choose between samsung galaxy pro, motorola charm and HTC chacha. Finally I decided to buy Chacha, because of it's great looks and speed processor. This phone didn't disappoint me, it has great features and HTC sense is awesome.

HTC ChaCha in-depth review -

Facebook feels as though it's been around since the dawn of time. While the novelty of 'poking' friends and even strangers (was that just us?) might have wavered, over 500 million people are said to be active users on the social networking site.
Pros:
  • With one-touch access to post webpages
  • videos
  • music
  • photos and updates via the Facebook button
  • ?book fans are more than well catered for
Cons:
  • With so much going on in the background we found the HTC ChaCha needed charging on a regular basis

HTC ChaCha

Billed as a Facebook phone, the HTC ChaCha sambas onto the scene with a blue Facebook button that's ready to waltz you directly to the land of social networking. However, we've previously never found these messaging handsets to fit all that well with the Android OS, so has the ChaCha managed to spin...
Pros:
  • Stylish design
  • Excellent keyboard
  • Crisp screen
  • Good Facebook integration
Cons:
  • So-so battery life
  • Landscape screen can feel cramped
  • No Flash support
