HTC Unveils Social Phones With One-touch Facebook® Access

HTC raises the bar for mobile social phones with HTC Salsa™

HTC Corporation, a global leader in mobile innovation and design, introduced the HTC Salsa in Hong Kong, built entirely to be social, combining the simplicity, ease-of-use and depth of HTC Sense™ with the power and connectivity of Facebook®. Unveiled at Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, Spain earlier this year, the HTC Salsa feature a dedicated Facebook® button for one-touch access to the key functions of the Facebook service that are integrated throughout the HTC Sense experience.

“The new HTC Salsa offers a new unique way to experience Facebook on a mobile device to communicate with your circle of friends on a brand new level.’” said Terry Chung, Country Manager of HTC Hong Kong and Macau. “With increasing active users, Facebook has become synonymous with the social web and we wanted to create the ultimate socially connected phone with mass market appeal.”

The Facebook button on HTC Salsa is context-aware, gently pulsing with light whenever there is an opportunity to share content or updates through Facebook. With a single press of the button, you can update your status, upload a photo, share a Website, post what song you are listening to, ‘check in’ to a location and more. For example, you can take a photograph of friends on your phone and upload it instantly to Facebook by simply pressing the button. Or let your friends know what song you’re listening to by pressing the button while listening to music on the phone. The track is automatically identified and shared on Facebook.

The HTC Salsa smartphone provides a fast, high-performance smartphone experience. Capture the moment in high-resolution stills or video with the 5-megapixel camera and immediately share it with friends on the generous 3.4-inch, 480 x 320 resolution touch display. Upload your photos to Facebook at the touch of a button.

The new devices feature Android Gingerbread 2.3.3, the latest version, and use the latest iteration of HTC Sense to integrate Facebook throughout the HTC Sense experience. When you make a phone call, the dialer screen displays your friend’s latest status and photos, and even tells you if their birthday is approaching. The same updates are also displayed when you receive a call from a Facebook friend. You can also use your phone’s existing contacts to help you connect with them on Facebook or personalize your handset further with a number of new, Facebook-branded widgets.
