not that i like this phone so much. am getting this because i love the qwerty -smart -phone- kind of thing and besides its the only tolerable (atleast to me) screen resolution in its kind and the most updated OS in its kind. facebook button isn't really bad at all but not necessarily should be place down there. it could have been better if that button can be change to something more dedicated button to any app you like and mostly use. other than that, HTC made it good.

In my opinion
I think this is the best android phone in the market with v2.3, 800 MHz processor, 5 mp camera with touch and type option.
And the price is not too much. So this will be my first Android phone.
And guys u can compare this phone with other to see the results.

The dedicated “F” button ruins/cheapen the phone. I hope this is the last time we see dedicated “F”acebook button on a phone.

Finally a decent Qwerty Candybar Android Phone. But the "F" button ruins it :(

mobile phones nowadays are so dependent on facebook. facebook here, facebook there.. its ok to make facebook as an app, not a hardware part of the phone. It's so manipulating.

"We didn’t have a matching set of benchmarks for the HTC Desire Z, but the much better BenchmarkPi results (2059 for the ChaCha and 1282 for the Froyo-running Z) show that having newer architecture is more important than pure clock speed"

Please take notice that BenchmarkPI score is better when small. So 1282 is a better score than 2059.

Two months from now Facebook will be dead and Google+ will be the leading social network. Then this phone will have no use anymore.

Just kidding.

After the Desire, the Sensation, the Incredible, the Wildfire, etc., couldn't they have come up with a proper name? ChaCha...Geez, that sucks!

If this is a "Facebock phone", the only thing you can expect is the camera to be decent, after all, people upload photos from their phones all the time on social networks.
Also, post process images would add a annoying step when you could simply upload directly, if the camera sucks so badly, what's the point of this device? So much for a "Facebook phone" yeah?
Serious, that makes it an almost a useless device.

Another HTC, another bad camera. And this one has the silliest name of them all.
