HTC Status

Also known as the Facebook phone, the HTC Status lets you quickly post to your account, but you'll have to put up with a tiny screen.

Heavy Facebook users will appreciate the ease with which they can text and post to the Social Network using the HTC Status. Shoppers will also like the phone's low $49 price, making the device a solid BlackBerry alternative for the younger crowd....

HTC Status

For many smartphone users, a quality keyboard is the only feature that truly matters. These passionate devotees will proudly live and die with their thumbs blazing, and for of all RIM's recent troubles, it's currently floating on a life preserver: a...

Excellent keyboard ; Facebook integration is fun and useful ; Reasonable price

Sense is buggy and lacks polish ; Many third-party apps won't display properly ; Disappointing battery life

While the Status can be fun and offers a quality keyboard, the software makes typing a pain. What's more, several apps don't display correctly on that tiny screen.

HTC Status Review

The HTC Status is America's first phone with a dedicated Facebook button. While the service (allegedly) created by Mark Zuckerberg is without a doubt the most

HTC Status Review: Phone for Facebook Fans

The Status is a very unusual design for an Android smartphone. For one thing, it features a single-piece keyboard design, which is featured on only a handful of other units like the Motorola XPRT, Droid Pro, and Samsung Replenish. But the Status goes...

Good keyboard ; Robust Facebook integration

Extremely small screen

An entry-level phone well-suited for teenagers and young adults who live on text messaging and Facebook

HTC Status Review

Have you updated your Facebook status recently? Now you don't have an excuse with the new HTC Status, which is available from AT&T. The Status is nearly an exact duplicate of the HTC ChaCha that is sold overseas, as both come with similar hardware, and...

HTC Status Review by Sydney | PhoneDog

Currently, there are over 750 million active users on Facebook and more than 250 million of those users access Facebook from their mobile device. For you 250+ million users, HTC and AT&T have just the phone for you, the HTC Status, a.k.a. The...

Excellent keyboard; Facebook button is very handy; customized version of HTC Sense works very well on the small display; good build quality; decent battery life

Inconsistent 3G data speeds; poor camera quality; some apps only work in portrait mode, making it uncomfortable to use those apps

For Facebook users or even people who text a lot and need a great keyboard as well as a good phone for a low price, the HTC Status is perfect.

awesome facebook phone

I love Facebook so there was no way that I'm going to miss this handset. I know that it's not really a "Facebook Phone" but the Facebook button is a feature that I must have. I have to say that FB button worked as well as it was advertised. Pressing...

HTC Status

Great phone, does a lot more then what is listed. Manual is small so I downloaded it in a PDF and saved it on my favorites. Battery life not so good but other then that....well worth the money!
