HTC ChaCha Review

You won't find a better phone for social networking but the smaller screen is a bit of a letdown.
Pros:
  • Facebook fans have plenty to please them
  • with one-touch access for adding music
  • photos
  • updates
  • videos and webpages
Cons:
  • Because so much is happening behind the scenes
  • the ChaCha had to be charged pretty regularly
