The HTC Salsa is one of two Facebook phones introduced at Mobile World Congress 2011, the other being the HTC ChaCha. Both Android smartphones are expected to ship in Q2 and will come to the U.S. later this year as AT&T exclusives. Pricing, however, was not announced at this time.

A dedicated Facebook button on the bottom will take you to the Facebook app where you can update your status, upload photos, check in to places, share news articles, and more.
In addition to launching the Facebook app, the dedicated button is context-aware, so if you're taking a photo, for example, it will pulse lightly to remind you that you can upload the image directly to Facebook with just a touch of the button.
