Go ChaCha with the new HTC ChaCha mobile phone that is due to release coming summer.

Though the pricing details are not revealed as yet, the sources say that it would be a mid-budget phone with lots to offer, especially Facebook friendly people. Yes! This phone is said to be designed exclusively for those who get connected to online social networking sites frequently, especially Facebook. You must be wondering, why especially Facebook? Read on to know more.

Design

HTC Chacha is a stylishly designed phone keeping in mind the looks of Blackberry.

The phone flashes a QWERTY type keyboard to enhance typing speed with a fully enabled touch screen which is 2.6” wide screen with a decent 480 x 320 resolution. So, you can use the keypad or the touch screen as per your convenience to navigate around the menu items and apps in the phone.

The design is unique by its own means with a slight tilt which starts somewhere in the middle of the phone tapers towards the bottom. The tilt makes the phone stylish to look along with the ‘f’ button at the bottom. ( you’ll know what the button is for as you read)

Talking about the dimensions, it is 64.6 mm in width, 114.4 mm in length and really thin measuring to about 10.7 mm. The dimensions clearly say that it is a good phone for the palm and also to be fitted into the pocket. It weighs about 120 grams.

The Secret Revealed
OK, let us not keep you in the dark anymore. HTC ChaCha has an exclusively dedicated Facebook button at the bottom of the phone which is not only stylish to look at, but also gives you direct access to the Facebook App.

Just by tapping this button you can get access to Facebook even when you are running a different application on your phone i.e. while taking pictures using the camera or working on a software etc. just tap the button and voila, you have facebook right on the screen and you are ready to update your status or just check what is going on with our friends.

Camera
ChaCha has a superior 5 mega pixel camera to take pictures as well as a Front VGA camera for making video calls to your loved ones and family whenever you want.
