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 review: Never mind the Facebook button, it's a great Android phone

Look, if you know you want a phone with a Facebook button, it's this simple: get the HTC Salsa, or wait for the HTC ChaCha and its QWERTY keyboard (we'll be reviewing it very soon). For everyone else nonplussed about a dedicated button, just ignore it.
Pros:
  • HTC Legend-ish design
  • solid battery life
Cons:
  • Screen is mediocre at best

HTC Salsa

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 . Even if you abhor social networking and shun status updates, that...
Pros:
  • Appealing design
  • front-facing camera for video calls
  • excellent battery life
  • dedicated Facebook button
Cons:
  • No Flash support in browser

HTC Salsa in-depth review -

You might be forgiven for rolling your eyes at the idea of a Facebook phone. They'll be making films about it next. Cynicism aside, the youth market loves social media, and it was only a matter of time before the mobile world jumped on the concept and tried to add their own stamp.
Pros:
  • Facebook
  • Twitter and Flickr integration is brilliant and simple to navigate
Cons:
  • Screen isn?t as impressive as the iPhone 4 or Samsung?s Galaxy S II
  • and it's a bit on the slow side and Flash video is technically supported but plays jerkily in-browser

HTC Salsa Review

Does the idea of a Facebook phone have you tutting to yourself? We know – they'll be making a movie about the social network site next won't they? Anyway, putting that cynicism to one side, we know that the youth market is big on social media, so it is no surprise that the mobile arena has grasped...
Cons:
  • The display can't compete with that on the iPhone 4 or Samsung

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.
