HTC ChaCha

The HTC ChaCha is a messaging phone, with a dedicated Facebook button, that runs Android.

Stylish design ; Excellent keyboard ; Crisp screen ; Good Facebook integration

So-so battery life ; Landscape screen can feel cramped ; No Flash support

Below the keyboard on the right hand side there’s a dedicated button with the Facebook logo stamped on it. It looks a little bit odd perched out here on its own - almost like its addition was a bit of an afterthought. Nevertheless, Facebook is pretty...

HTC ChaCha review

Body of a Blackberry, mind of an Android. Can the new 'Facebook phone' poke above its weight?

Great Facebook integration ; Thought-out UI ; Typing is a dream ; Small battery with a long life and quick charge ; Responsive touchscreen

Screen sometimes feels too small ; Camera could be better ; Flash on websites doesn't work properly ; Chin makes the design look odd ; Awful name

Let's get one thing straight: the HTC ChaCha is not the Facebook phone. It's not manufactured by Facebook. But let's get another thing straight, too: the HTC ChaCha is the Facebook experience

HTC ChaCha

The second “Facebook phone” from HTC, and launched in tandem with the HTC Salsa, is the HTC ChaCha. It's strange name for a phone that is something of a strange Android device, offering a format we haven't seen much of from the Google OS. We can't...

Looks great, thoughtful reworking of HTC Sense, runs smoothly

Some keyboard issues, battery life is pretty poor, some regular apps leave you little space to see what you are doing

When thinking of the HTC ChaCha, it’s worth setting the “Facebook phone” elements to one side. The ChaCha is a more important device than just Facebook and if the button was removed, you’d still have all those features anyway.

HTC ChaCha Review: In Depth

The ChaCha is one of a pair of FaceBook-centric phones released by HTC, and differentiates itself from the HTC Salsa- and, in fact the majority of HTC's handset range- with a hard-key keyboard that…

HTC ChaCha review

The HTC ChaCha is a Google Android smartphone with a dedicated Facebook button.

The HTC ChaCha offers smart integration with Facebook and also possesses an excellent physical keyboard. Its small screen will frustrate users keen on mobile web browsing, but if you can live with these drawbacks, the ChaCha is very good value for money.

HTC ChaCha review

The ChaCha is perfect for heavy Facebook users, but the small screen makes it trickier to surf the rest of the web

HTC ChaCha

Beyond its obvious Facebook centric approach, the ChaCha is an exceptionally attractive, well built and feature rich phone in its own right.

Beautiful, solid design, Excellent keyboard, Screen that holds its own in direct sunlight

Facebook button counter intuitive

HTC ChaCha

The HTC ChaCha is an Android smartphone with a difference, packing in a fixed QWERTY keypad below the 2.6-inch screen. It also comes with Facebook software pre-installed, along with a button to launch a Facebook app at the flick of a finger. The good...

With an 800MHz processor, the HTC ChaCha is a fast, capable and comfortable handset. It's not the most stylish, but it's affordable and is packed with features – including a 5-megapixel camera, 3G/HSDPA connectivity, Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi. Check it...
