Review of HTC's Facebook phone, the Salsa

Score

3.4 stars
"Good"

(How we score)

Deep Facebook integration, metal body, good battery life

Low screen resolution, slower 800MHz processor causes some lagging, poor camera

Summary

The HTC Salsa is one of two new Facebook-oriented handsets from HTC. It combines typical Facebook integration with some extra functionality. The hardware Facebook key is something unseen on rival handsets, and offers a more user-friendly Facebook experience for social networking addicts.

Although the Salsa doesn't match HTC's top-end handsets in terms of specs, it still has enough kit to keep most users happy - including a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, an 800MHz single-core processor, and a 3.4 inch touchscreen display.
