The Facebook phone from HTC has landed with mobile retailer Phones 4u today.
You can now buy the HTC ChaCha handset through Phones 4u online or in selected stores.
You’re bound to have spotted this smartphone, which has been available on pre-order for a few weeks now, if you’re a Facebook fan. Dubbed the “Facebook phone”, the ChaCha comes with a dedicated Facebook button for one-touch sharing on the social networking site – you can upload photos, share websites or update your status with a simple press of the button.
And the mobile phone comes with a Facebook Chat widget which lets you group your Facebook friends so you can chat with them online whenever you want to.
Scott Hooton, trading director at Phones 4u said: “What with 93% of our customers admitting to having a Facebook account, it’s clear that social networking is no longer just something people do in their spare time – it’s an integral part of their lives. We know our customers are going to be thrilled about the HTC ChaCha’s arrival at Phones 4u, and we’re excited to be offering them a smartphone catered to their needs and what they enjoy doing most.”
He added: “We’re confident the HTC ChaCha’s going to be a huge hit with our youth audience.”
The HTC ChaCha runs on Android 2.4 OS and sports an array of features designed for communication and entertainment. Features include a 2.6 inch display and full QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel rear camera and VGA front-facing camera for video calling, 512MB of internal memory and battery support for up to 7 hours of talk time.
Jon French, vice president of sales and operations at HTC EMEA said: “This model is completely different from any other handset we’ve developed and has been designed specifically for those who share their lives through Facebook as second nature. It’s a great fit for Phones 4u, offering its audience a great blend of smartphone performance with the enhanced ability to chat or share their thoughts, photos and location even more easily than before.”
