Barcelona,
HTC just released five new phones. They were presented at Mobile World Congress 2011. Last but not least, here is the latest and greatest addition to the family – HTC Tablet.
2011 HTC phone portfolio.
First two phones (starting from left) are “Facebook friendly”. After months of rumors, guessing and several denials there are plans for HTC Facebook phone, we are presented with ChaCha and Salsa. Both phones have Facebook branding and one touch access to FB. From initial Press Release only things conclusive are lack of good names for the phones and dedicated FB button.
New devices feature Android Gingerbread 2.3.3, and use the latest iteration of HTC Sense to integrate Facebook throughout the HTC Sense experience. While making a phone call, dialer screen displays friend’s latest status and photo, even tells if their birthday is approaching. Same goes for receiving a call from a Facebook friend. Phone can use existing contacts to connect with them on Facebook or personalize your handset further with a number of new, Facebook-branded widgets.
Phones will be available in Q2 2011.
