"A Good Phone With A Major Drawback"
I have been using this phone for a year and a half. I went for an HTC as I had never before owned one and several of my friends had positive experiences with them. I went for the Cha-Cha as It came with a relatively low monthly contract cost, I got a free laptop with it (mobiles.co.uk) and I really...

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:

- No Flash support

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
