The HTC Salsa has been launched as the best phone for social networking Facebook fans with the unique selling point of letting you quickly and constantly update your status on the move. Like its sibling, the HTC ChaCha, The Salsa carries a physical dedicated Facebook button to quickly post to your profile.

On board physical buttons are limited to a power button, volume rocker a camera switch and the all important Facebook button which sets the phone apart from the rest. This button allows you to quickly post your status to Facebook in seconds! As soon as you take a photo with the inbuilt camera, the button starts to glow to remind you that you can upload that picture right away. Sending the picture to your profile is achieved immediately by taping the button.

The HTC Salsa is perfect for people who like to share most (if not every) aspect of their daily life with friends on Facebook. You have got to be a fan of the social networking site to appreciate the full extent the device can help in making your posts easier. For a fuller interaction with your Facebook account, just keep holding down the dedicated button to open up Facebook places. This lets you check in to various geographical places of interest similar to foursquare and let your friends know your location or where you have been.

It is just as easy to make other Facebook posts such as sharing videos posting links or share music you’re currently listening to on your music player. So with the HTC Salsa you will be able to keep your friends informed of your whereabouts with pictures, videos and what music you are listening to.

Besides the social networking, HTC Salsa kicks in features between HTC Wldfire S and and HTC Desire S. It has a 800Hz CPU which is sufficient for most of its dedicated uses but can seem to lag a bit compared to higher end Smartphones in the HTC stable if you do a lot of processor intensive tasks. It boasts support for Google services such as search, Maps and the Android Market app store but the low end CPU also rules out support for browser based flash support.

The phone comes with a good sized 3.4 inch HVGA resolution screen has 480×320 pixel which gives good overall contrast though not quite as vibrant as the super AMOLED display of Samsung phones.

The Salsa also has notifications bar that gives you information about availability of wifi and blue tooth in one place. The phone features a reasonable 5 mega pixel camera and front facing lens to enable video calls. The battery is an impressive 1,520 mAh that gives the Salsa an impressive running time between charges – much longer than most current Android devices.

As the name suggests (think nachos and dance floor moves) the Salsa embraces socializing and is definitely one for people who like to share their social life with their friends, family and loved ones. So if you are a person who likes sharing most aspects of your day with your Facebook friends then then check our HTC Salsa deals.

If you’re hankering over a white iPhone 4, you might need to yearn for a small while longer, with reports suggesting that Apple is having difficulties with the manufacturing process.

According to Engadget, the difficulty comes from Lens Technology, a provider in China that’s liable for milling the glass covers. The company is supposedly having trouble getting the paint thickness and opacity levels correct. As such the white iPhone 4s are not as white as they should be, which would not go down well with the design purists at Apple, namely Messrs Jobs and Ive.

This means that Steve Jobs’ claim at last week’s infamous Friday press conference that the white iPhone 4 will ship before the end of July could turn out to be, well, something of a white lie.

What’s more, reports propose that Lens Technology is only able to create half of the demand for the black version, which supposedly accounts for its current three week shipping delay.

Are you part of a pair that won’t upgrade until you can get your iPhone 4s in a ‘his-and-hers’ pair, or are you in its place going for a phone that doesn’t need a case to receive calls?

Apple alleged a press conference today to address troubles with the iPhone 4’s antenna.

Admitting that neither he nor his flagship mobile handsets are surefire, Steve Jobs made a 15-minute presentation to the press before fielding questions.

The CEO made a point to show video of other handsets (including the Blackberry Bold 9700 and HTC Droid Eris) revealing the same drop in bars that iPhone consumers have faced.

Citing 22 days of “working our butts off,” Jobs settled that Apple’s topical change in the algorithm that gauges signal strength was part of their solution.

One slide on the presentation read “phones aren’t perfect.” He reported that only 0.55% of iPhone consumers called Apple to report the crisis, and that only 1.7% of patrons returned early units to AT&T, as compared to the iPhone 3GS’s 6.0%.

Apple is remedying the state of affairs by providing a free case to all iPhone clients through September 30. iPhone holders will be able to pertain for a case on Apple’s website. These comprise both Apple’s bumper cases in addition to a few others, which were not exposed. Those who are still unhappy can return their iPhone 4 for a full refund in the next 30 days.

Smartphones like the iPhone aren’t cheap and they live a hard life being carried around in a pocket where keys can scratch and being dropped while talking and walking. To keep your iPhone working at its peak you want to protect the device and keep it safe.

The best way to do that is with a hard case like the new CandyShell line from Speck. The new line of cases are available in five different two-tone color combos. The outside of the case is hard, but the inside is soft. Nobody wants a case that is going to scratch their phone.

The new colors include BubbleMaker Pink, BatWing Black, AquaBerry Blue, WaxStick White, and JamJar Purple. The interior of the case is rubberized and the case has openings for all the ports on the iPhone. The case also comes with a cleaning cloth and a screen protector. The case sells for $34.95 and the purple/pink version is only available at AT&T stores.
