HTC Status for AT&T gets announced on Facebook

29 June, 2011

This is hardly a surprise to us. After we saw it in leaked pictures barely a week ago, the U.S. version of the HTC ChaCha got officially announced on Facebook under the name HTC Status - quite a fitting moniker for the phone which is designed to rule the social network.

There are practically no differences between the HTC Status and its European sibling, the Chacha - their appearance and specs are identical, save for the AT&T logo of the Status.

The U.S. version of the ChaCha will also get the upgraded processor which we previously told you about - it is clocked at 800 MHz unlike the originally claimed 600 MHz. There is 512MB of RAM and ROM on board respectively. The memory can be expanded through a microSD card. A 5MP camera will handle the capture of pictures before they get uploaded on Facebook. The device will have Android 2.3 Gingerbread, dressed in HTC Sense, right out of the box as well.

There is currently no pricing and availability set for the HTC Status but we seriously doubt that it will be long before it starts shipping. In the meantime, feel free to check out our hands on video of the HTC ChaCha here.

In comparison to E5 or E6 its kinda weird and ugly. But, thing is that Nokia is far behing in terms of OS. There are some apps available, but it lacks the development currently found on Android. I own an E5 Series 60 phone and its a pain for example:...
