HTC Salsa Overview
The HTC Salsa was announced in February 2011 as one of the first mainstream "Facebook Phones". HTC and Facebook worked closely together to create a social networking driven device that features an actual "Facebook Button": whenever interesting content is easily shared to Facebook, the blue button lights up and with one press you can instantly share content with your friends on your Facebook page.
With a 3.4-inch screen, 480x320 pixel resolution, 5MP camera, front-facing camera for video chat, and Android 2.3 with HTC Sense, the HTC Salsa is an affordable Android phone that should excite the younger end of the mobile market looking for an original and exciting opportunity. It focuses on what the Facebook generation want most: a complete smartphone experience that allows them to share socially without putting them - or their parents - in bankruptcy.

HTC Salsa Reviews
CNET Letting you quickly upload entries to your Facebook wall at the touch of a button, it's likely to find favour with dedicated social butterflies, but there's much more to this phone that status updates and spamming your chums with pointless links.
Phone Arena Salsa is your friend. You put it on nachos; you do it on the dance floor. The word conjures up images of socializing, music and fun times. We're guessing that's why Salsa is the name of HTC's latest social media, and more specifically, Facebook phone.
Slash Gear The first of HTC’s so-called Facebook phones, the HTC Salsa, arrived with plenty of fanfare at MWC 2011 back in February – the looming head of Mark Zuckerberg on the big screen, issuing a blanket blessing to all phones that prioritized Facebook integration.
PCWorld The Salsa is very comfortable to hold in the hand, and its compact size means it slips easily into your pocket.
Tech Radar Thankfully the HTC Salsa has appeared to fill that touchscreen gap, and comes as a throwback to 2010's lovely little 3.2-inch HTC Legend, trying to be the perfect compromise between performance, price and screen size – with added Facebook integration and a larger 3,4-inch HVGA screen.
Android Community It’s one of the Facebook phones we found out about at Mobile World Congress 2011, hooray! What have we got here? Chris Davies over at SlashGear lets us know that this device’s dedicated Facebook button is indeed popping up from the bottom allowing us to share our entire lives without even an extra tap.
