HTC Facebook phones

   HTC announced, a few days back before the Mobile World Congress start, that they will have a 'big thing' in Barcelona for their customers and fans. In my opinion they were a big disappointment with the products presented. And I like HTC as I have a Desire so I was really badly  surprised of their approach. They announced the successors of Wildfire (with the S version), Desire (the new Desire S) and Incredible (the Incredible S). Now I am not going to write an article regarding the three devices as I do not believe these worth the time and effort. Wilfire S, Desire S and Incredbile S are just minor upgrades from the originals. HTC could have done a better job if they would have made upgrades with the new Gingerbread and Sense to the devices announced about one year ago.

   Anyway the new thing is the Facebook phone but this is not that much of a surprise. They released two models which have a Facebook button for fast access to Facebook application and features.

   As you can see the 2 devices do not have outstanding features and are the same with other HTC products (like the Wildfire for example). The only difference is the Facebook button which can be used for access to Facebook application, instant upload of photos, quick check-in and others. I wonder what happened with the HTC Innovation...
