In the end the Facebook button doesn’t feel like it adds a great deal to the Salsa, and we think there are some issues with the chassis quality in terms of colour matching of its various parts. But, overall, the solid design means the HTC Salsa sits...

HTC Salsa review

 

Following on from HTC's ChaCha, the Salsa does without theQWERTY keyboard but comes also comes with a dedicated Facebookbutton to give your social networking a boost.

Sharp 3.4in screen 5 megapixel camera ; Dedicated Facebook button

Camera could be better, not very distinctive
