HTC Salsa hands-on

HTC Salsa – tight Facebook integration in a small form factor review

Overall, the HTC Salsa is a good phone for those who use Facebook a lot and if it's priced below $100, will also be a great choice for people who are just buying their first smartphone – they can always just press a button and ask other people how to do something if they don't know :-).

HTC Salsa Review

The HTC Salsa offers decent power, impressive battery life and a good screen, as well as handy Facebook features. If you're after a Facebook-focused phone, we reckon the Salsa's a better bet than the HTC ChaCha and INQ Cloud Touch.

The phone performs well but without the finesse of a more expensive HTC like the Sensation, and its design and build quality is questionable in places. But I do think that it has a place of its own in the industry because of the very cool facebook integration and I think I would go as far as buying...

HTC Salsa Review

Here we are at the end of another exciting review, I have to say that during my time with the Salsa there have been some good moments and some annoying ones but my overall opinion is that it is simply a revisited handset with the addition of a facebook button.

The HTC Salsa is the 3.4-inch touchscreen version of HTC's two Facebook phones, and I have to say I recommend it only to the most hardcore of Facebook addicts. If you're interested in the other ‘Facebook Phone', check out our HTC ChaCha review , if not, hit the break to get into the Salsa review.
Pros:
  • Notification LED
  • Dedicated Facebook button
  • Dedicated camera button
Cons:
  • 480×320 resolution screen
  • Occasional lag and crashing apps
  • Flash Lite
  • Basic hardware specs – 800mhz & 512mb ram
  • Minimal space for app data
