HTC has always understood that different people want different things and the new HTC ChaCha and Salsa offer special new ways to experience Facebook on a mobile device.

Henri Moissinac, Facebook’s Head of Mobile Business, said

We have worked closely with HTC for several years on bringing Facebook to their devices and HTC ChaCha and HTC Salsa are the next stage.

The Facebook button is also content aware which will light up to do different functions like sharing url of site, pictures and uploading or tagging pictures based on the user’s operation. These phones will launch globally by Q2 of 2011.
