Before bringing any phone to market, the carrier has to file with the FCC. Usually FFC filing happens at about one month before the release date. The HTC ChaCha forms are filed with the FCC, suggesting a release date soon at AT&T. The processor speed has been increased to 800GHz.The main feature of the HTC ChaCha is that it has a dedicated Facebook button that is context-aware and blinks whenever there is an opportunity to share
content or
updates through Facebook. You can also share photos, music, and status updates with the dedicated Facebook button.
The HTC ChaCha has Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, memory expandable up to 32GB via a
microSD slot, and a unique tilt design and QWERTY
keyboard. It features
dual cameras, including a 5-megapixel color camera with autofocus, LED
flash, and a VGA front-facing camera. The ChaCha has a 2.6-inch,
480 x 320
resolution landscape touchscreen, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and HTC Sense.
The QWERTY keyboard should make it easy to use the ChaCha texting answer service.
Because of the features, we suspect that it will be marketed to social-savvy teens and
twenty-somethings.
