Cons

Low resolution screen; poor camera; weak processor; no Flash support; unimpressive battery life.

As a social network orientated phone, the HTC Salsa has got some things right, like having a dedicated Facebook button to make it easier to share your thoughts, links, pictures and videos with your friends. Furthermore, the new interactive...

The HTC Salsa is a solidly built smartphone with a good screen, reasonable camera, fine UI and an emphasis on social networking, thanks largely to its clever Facebook button. This latter will endear it to ’bookers, but otherwise it doesn’t...

The HTC Salsa is currently exclusive to Vodafone and free on the $29 cap or $45 Infinite plan over 24 months, well priced considering this phone is suited for the younger market (or the young at heart Facebook user). The phone also supports...

The HTC Salsa is a nicely made smartphone, though the chassis is a bit iffy in places. The Facebook button is a bit gimmicky in that it doesn't offer anything new or special, but it does give you speedy access to Facebook features....

What HTC has tried to do with the Salsa is produce a phone that has Facebook at its core, while still doing everything else you’d expect from a mobile device. And it does just that. Its features manage to ensure your virtual interactions work...
