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 goodAs...
Good As always, the Android operating system is a particular highlight on this handset. Sure, it's not quite as slick as the iOS software found on Apple's iPhone, but it's a lot more customisable, with the ability to fill the homepage with comprehensive apps such as calendar entries or messages. The ChaCha's form factor will also appeal to lots of users, offering a proper keyboard in a compact design...
Bad In a world of smartphones with huge touchscreens, the HTC ChaCha may offer a welcome change when it comes to usability, but the design looks positively frumpy when compared with handsets like the iPhone 4 or Samsung Galaxy S II.
Bottom line 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 o...

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 takes up half of the phone's front.It’s surprising to...
Bottom line Despite its app (and Flash) shortcomings, the ChaCha is refreshing new addition to HTC phone portfolio, bringing their reliable Android know-how to a messenging, keyboard-toting smartphone.This is most certainly a great phone for Facebook addicts (and...

A touchscreen with a QWERTY keypad – the HTC ChaCha certainly tries to cover all possible angles, but does the inclusion of multiple input methods guarantee a good device? A good looking and nice phone for an Android lover looking for a good keypad, b...
Bottom line For this price, you can also get the Nokia E6. While that isn't an Android phone, or doesn’t boast of any Facebook links, it does work well as a phone. Not that the HTC ChaCha doesn’t, for the most part. But the extremely disappointing battery does rui...

Like any new SKU, all it takes is one manufacturer to launch a successful product and then everyone piles on. Apple’s iPad is one such example that comes to mind, since before its existence no one really cared much about tablets. In the mobile spac...
Bottom line Leaving aside the Facebook integration for a moment, HTC have done a really good job with the ChaCha as a phone. The name ‘ChaCha’ doesn’t exactly roll off your tongue but I guess that’s HTC’s way of differentiating their social media phones from the r...

This February HTC announced the HTC ChaCha together with the HTC Salsa-- two social network-oriented Android phones -- in Barcelona at the Mobile World Congress. The Internet and the blogosphere in general called them “Facebook phones” due to their...
Bottom line There’s no doubt about the target audience for the HTC ChaCha. People who are also living their lives on Facebook will love this phone and so will those who send lots of text messages and e-mails. The QWERTY keyboard on the ChaCha is great and typing...

There is no way that you can look at the ChaCha’s design and remain completely indifferent. There’s just a scrappiness and audaciousness about it, not to mention all the design throwbacks to a simpler time when phones were still smart, but not, as toda...
Bottom line As a Facebook phone it has no choice but to succeed, since there’s nothing quite like it out there in terms of convenience. This phone won’t even need to be sold to people for whom mobiles are synonymous with Facebook, they’ll probably just buy it on p...

HTC has been enjoying tremendous success of late with a raft of Android devices. The HTC ChaCha represents a change of direction from their usual candy bar style touch screen phones. It is a chunky slab style phone with a full QWERTY keyboard, a 2.6 i...
Bottom line This is probably as close as you’re going to get to a dedicated Facebook phone. The HTC ChaCha is quite simply perfect for Facebook lovers and it makes an attractive entry-level device for anyone looking to switch to Android. It’s also a great o...
