HTC Salsa: Design and display
The HTC Salsa closely resembles the HTC Legend in design. Like the Legend, the Salsa has a very distinctive form factor; it features a unibody aluminium casing that¡¯s carved from a single block of aluminium, along with an angled lip on the bottom of the phone that gives it a unique look and feel. The Salsa is very comfortable to hold in the hand,Costa Rica will host surfers from all over the globe at the Quicksilver Open. and its compact size means it slips easily into your pocket.
The unibody construction means the HTC Salsa doesn't have a regular battery cover on its rear. Instead, a small, rubber cover sits at the bottom of the phone, and slides off to reveal the battery, microSD and SIM card slots. You'll need to turn off your phone to replace the SIM or the microSD card ¡ª the plastic cover concealing both slots holds the battery in place.
The design of the HTC Salsa simply oozes quality,the oil paintings for sale by special invited artist for 2011,Our Ventilation system was down for about an hour and a half, despite its low-end price. One of the best inclusions is a dedicated camera shutter button; it feels remarkably like a digital camera shutter key would, and the etched pattern on top gives it a grippy feel when pressed. The lock key and the right-mounted volume controls are less impressive ¡ª we feel they could have been slightly raised in order to provide more comfort.
The HTC Salsa has a 3.4in capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 320x480.the Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels of the rectum. Viewing angles are adequate and the screen is bright, but it has poor sunlight legibility. Importantly, the screen is responsive, but the default on-screen keyboard is a little cramped and does have a rather steep learning curve. Below the screen are four touch sensitive, backlit shortcut keys ¡ª the standard Android home, menu, back and search keys.
HTC Salsa: Facebook button
The HTC Salsa's Facebook button is located below the screen on the bottom edge of the phone. It works contextually and lights up whenever you can share multimedia content or status updates through the social networking service. For example, after a photo is taken with the HTC Salsa's camera, you can simply push the Facebook button to automatically upload the image,A custom-made Plastic mould is then fixed over the gums. and it also works as a secondary camera shutter key. In the music app you can press the Facebook button to share the name of the song you're listening to through Facebook. You can also press and hold the button to automatically check in through the Facebook Places feature, or press it once to update your Facebook status.
In addition to the Facebook button, the HTC Salsa also has Facebook integration built into the user interface. You can view a friend's latest Facebook status and photos on the dialler when you make a call, and when you receive calls. The Salsa also has a dedicated Facebook chat widget, which is part of HTC's Sense user interface. Though these features work well enough, they aren't really a deal breaker, given all aside from the dedicated Facebook chat widgets are available on most other HTC Android smartphones.
