Review: HTC Salsa

Mobile devices

HTC SalsaLast month, HTC launched the Salsa in Australia with Vodafone. It was launched side-by-side with the ChaCha, and both are HTC's first 'Facebook phones' featuring a dedicated post to Facebook button.

Design

The first thing that strikes you when you look at the Salsa is just how elegant it is.

Although Android phones aren't particularly renowned for being particularly stunning (although they are improving) HTC have de-cluttered the Salsa as much as possible, and the frame of the purple-grey tinted device (there's also now a black model) looks as stunning as ever.

It's evident HTC have worked hard on ensuring the Salsa is as comfortable in your hand as possible. The sleek backing means it feels good to hold, and the phones edges are smoothly rounded ensuring it moulds into your grip.

The screen takes up most of the real estate on the front of the Salsa, stretching almost entirely from one side to the other with just a few millimetres of black panelling on the edge. At the bottom of the front of the device is the stock-standard row of Android touch-sensitive buttons, including home, menu, return and search.
