A true middleman, the HTC ChaCha sits right between the Samsung Galaxy Pro on the lower-end and the HTC Desire Z at the top. It’s a QWERTY + touchscreen – a combination that was once rare. However, whether manufacturers are really ensuring equal attention to usability of both touch and keypad-based functions is something we’re skeptical about.
Look & Feel
Straight off, the looks of the phone will catch your attention. While there is nothing very different, there are these subtle things that make a difference. The slight curve makes typing a lot more comfortable. The display and keypad are slightly curved towards each other, giving the phone a gentle curve reminiscent of a slightly curved boomerang. The little “F” button below the keypad lets you post on Facebook with just one click, without heading into the app or the web browser, we suppose social networking diehards would lament the lack of a Twitter and Google + key, but really this inclusion is not really needed, though pleasant.

The build quality is generally good, even though it is mostly plastic. While the battery cover is a bit of a pain to open, the overall build of the phone belies the price. The phone sits well in the hand, and the slight curve inwards does help quite a bit. The review unit we received has a combination of white and silver colour. While it looks classy, we do have an issue with it getting dirty, no matter how hard you try otherwise.

An HTC phone without the sense UI is as impossible as pigs flying! The UI has been updated specifically for this particular display, and yet manages to fit in almost all the elements (design, widgets etc.) into the new version.
