HTC Salsa: Review
The first thing that strikes you when you look at the Salsa is just how elegant it is. Although Android phones aren’t particularly renowned for being particularly stunning (although they are improving) HTC has de-cluttered the Salsa as much as possible, and the frame of the purple-grey tinted device (there’s also now a black model) looks stunning.It’s evident HTC worked hard on ensuring the Salsa is as comfortable in your hand as possible. The sleek backing means it feels good to hold, and the phones edges are smoothly rounded ensuring it moulds into your grip.
The screen takes up most of the real estate on the front of the Salsa, stretching almost entirely from one side to the other with just a few millimetres of black panelling on the edge. At the bottom of the front of the device is the stock-standard row of Android touch-sensitive buttons, including home, menu, return and search. At the top behind the mesh-covered speaker is an LED notification light, which handily flashes when an Android notification (i.e. new mail, SMS or missed call) arrives, while on the right-hand side there’s a physical button to take an image or record video.
And of course how could one forget the physical Facebook button — the major feature of the device. It’s situated below the Android buttons on the front of the device, and is raised ever so slightly. The Facebook icon is easily recognisable, and doesn’t look too out of place on the otherwise button-free device front.
If you were to nit-pick, then some would say the thickness of the device could be an issue — it’s a tad thicker (just over 2mm) than Apple’s iPhone 4 for instance. We found the one long volume button at times to be also problematic, turning the volume up when we wanted it to go down, and vice versa.
Hardware & Perfomance
When using the Salsa, some lag-time is noticeable when a number of Android animations are being performed, and interestingly even the lock screen at times had a noticeable delay between the unlock action occurring and the phone’s homescreen displaying. That said the Salsa passed our Angry Birds test in style, with the Android edition of the hit game performing smoothly on the device.
Battery life was reasonable when compared to other Android phones, lasting around a day of on-off usage which included web browsing, playing games and making and receiving phone calls. HTC says the Salsa lasts up to 585 minutes talk-time.
What Is Salsa - News
review Last month, HTC launched the Salsa in Australia with Vodafone. It was launched side-by-side with the ChaCha, and both are HTC's first “Facebook phones” featuring a dedicated post to Facebook button. But how does the Salsa's handle in practice?
And that means its salsa time. When an abundance of tomatoes overtook the gardens of relatives and friends, I was the recipient of some of the bounty. I used some of this excess to can my own salsa. Unfortunately, the large gardens have grown smaller
I've been to the new Wild Salsa place downtown a couple of times and haven't had any complaints (save for the dance music that drove me nervous). A friend of mine, though, relays some details from a recent meal there that I find disturbing.
