HTC ChaCha

HTC has announced HTC ChaCha and HTC Salsa in this year’s Mobile World Congress. It’s interesting to note that there’s a dedicated Facebook button on each of these phones. HTC ChaCha is a touch-screen phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard while the HTC Salsa is a touch-screen phone. Both of these phones run on Android with HTC Sense.

The Samsung Galaxy S was launched earlier and I’d say that it is the best Samsung touchscreen phone to date. It’s impressive super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen is definitely a big plus for them. With Samsung Galaxy S, you won’t have a hard time looking at your screen.

HTC Tattoo is the most affordable Android-based phone that HTC came up with. HTC Tattoo runs on Android 1.6. It has a 2.8″ TFT LCD touch screen and as well as a 4-way navigation control with an Enter button.

Will the HTC Magic be able to conquer the Philippine market? Globe Telecoms announced that it will be free if you get the 7,000-peso postpaid plan (GFlex or GPlan) which I find a bit pricey. It will be available  exclusively under SMART Gold subscription plans by the end of June. It would be interesting to see if other popular mobile phone manufacturers would come out an Android version of their mobile phone models.
