HTC Salsa Android phone

The HTC Salsa provides easy integration with the world's most popular social networking service, but its ultimate appeal will depend on how much you use Facebook on a daily basis. The Facebook key is not a deal breaker, but putting that aside, the Salsa remains an excellent value smartphone with a great design. The HTC Salsa is a well designed, mid-range Android smartphone that integrates superbly with Facebook. It combines a sturdy design, a full touchscreen, and a dedicated Facebook button that allows easy integration with the world's most popular social networking service. The HTC Salsa is good value for money, but its ultimate appeal will depend on how much you use Facebook on a daily basis.
Pros:
  • Unibody aluminium design
  • Great Facebook software integration
  • Latest Android software
Cons:
  • Facebook button not a deal breaker
  • Poor sunlight legibility
  • Vodafone exclusive

HTC Salsa: good for its money!

Brought this phone for £75 quid, and very surprised as too how good it actually is, it's brilliant for the money I spent on it. Positives.. It's very user-friendly, you can customise your homepage very easily and simply, which enables quick and easy access to your favorite apps.

HTC Salsa

We've constantly compared the Salsa to the ChaCha in this review for a very good reason. While you can't buy the Salsa outright at the current time from Vodafone, it does offer both phones at the same contract price points.
Pros:
  • Decent battery life
  • Lock screen works really well
  • Compact
Cons:
  • Camera is only average
  • F button is a gimmick
  • not a feature
  • Can't see why you'd opt for the Salsa over the Nexus S

HTC Salsa review: HTC Salsa

The Salsa is a decent phone, but given that Vodafone will give you a Nexus S for exactly the same money, we're not quite sure why you'd opt for one. A few years back, not many people had ever heard of HTC. These days, we can't open our inboxes at CNET Australia without being told about yet another HTC mid-range phone. Already this year, we've had the Wildfire S, the Desire S and the ChaCha. You can add to the ranks of HTC's mid-range offerings the HTC Salsa. It's named, like the ChaCha, for the Spanish dance, and not so much to a spicy tomato-based sauce per se.
Pros:
  • Decent battery life
  • Lock screen works really well
  • Compact.
Cons:
  • Camera is only average
  • F button is a gimmick, not a feature
  • Can't see why you'd opt for the Salsa over the Nexus S.

HTC Salsa

Rumours of a true Facebook phone have been bandied around for ages, but last year Mark Zuckerberg put paid to the idea when he announced the company would never make a Facebook phone. However, it turns out he was being somewhat economical with the truth.
Pros:
  • Well built and styled
  • Good quality screen
  • Surprisingly fast interface
  • Feature packed
  • Facebook integration genuinely useful
Cons:
  • More expensive than other small smartphones
  • Only 600MHz processor
