HTC unveils five new phones

PanARMENIAN.Net - HTC has unveiled five new phones, including two Facebook phones, the ChaCha and the Salsa, and three other Android smartphones, the Incredible S, the Desire S and the Wildfire S.

In spite of Facebook’s denial that it would release a phone with HTC, it seems the two companies did indeed work together to make accessing the social network on phones easier.

"We have worked closely with HTC for several years on bringing Facebook to their devices and HTC ChaCha and HTC Salsa are the next stage," said Henri Moissinac, head of Mobile Business for Facebook, in a statement.

"HTC has brought Facebook to these two new devices in an innovative way, enabling people to connect and share easily whenever they want, wherever they are."

Both the ChaCha and the Salsa will offer a dedicated Facebook button for one-touch access to status updates, photo uploads, website sharing or checking into a location.

It’s context aware, pulsing with light when there is an opportunity to share content or updates through Facebook.

HTC Sense integrates Facebook into the UI, allowing users to check their friends' latest status updates on the dialler screen and informs users of their upcoming birthdays. Facebook messages and conversations are also integrated, appearing within text and email inboxes, according to siliconrepublic.com.
