HTC’s New Status Has Deep Facebook Powers

At least one of the Facebook phones HTC announced back in February has finally hit AT&T in the US. Now the ridiculous-sounding HTC ChaCha goes by the somewhat more palatable HTC Status.

As you’ll recall, the Status has its own dedicated Facebook button, letting you share music, pics taken with the 5MP camera, and whatever’s on your mind at the moment with just a push. It also sports a physical QWERTY keyboard below its 2.6-inch touchscreen and that oddly curved body. Great for writing statuses, but will probably stick to your beer-soaked face. Kids, right? And the Sense UI skinning Gingerbread comes with a custom widget to stalk your Facebook friends.

Now we just need a Google+ phone. [HTC, HTC Facebook page]
