HTC Salsa drops Facebook for Weibo in China

Listen to article

Samsung Chacha's ponsel layar kembar, HTC Salsa, belum tiba di Filipina, namun tampaknya di Tiongkok, ponsel ini memiliki tombol khusus yang sama sekali berbeda.

Ya, ponsel Facebook HTC Salsa rupanya disebut sebagai ponsel Weibo HTC Salsa di daratan utama {via}. Tidak terlalu mengejutkan mengingat Facebook sangat diatur ketat di Tiongkok.

HTC Salsa seharusnya merupakan versi layar sentuh penuh dari Chacha dan dilabeli sebagai salah satu dari dua ponsel Facebook yang tidak resmi.

HTC Salsa c510e
Layar 3,4 inci @ 320x480 piksel
Prosesor 800 MHz
GPU Adreno 205, chipset Qualcomm MSM 7227
Layar Gorilla Glass
ROM 512MB, RAM 512MB
Hingga 32GB melalui microSD
HSDPA 7,2Mbps, HSUPA 384Kbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth Bluetooth 3.0 dengan A2DP
Kamera 5MP dengan lampu kilat LED
GPS dengan dukungan aGPS
Tuner radio FM
Baterai Li-Ion 1520 mAh
OS Android 2.3 Gingerbread

Kisah Weibo ini mungkin sangat besar di Tiongkok (150 juta pengguna) dan bisa menjadi hal terbaik berikutnya setelah FB di negara tersebut.

Catatan sampingan: Bayangkan, jika HTC Chacha atau Salsa dirilis di Filipina pada tahun 2005 atau 2006, itu bisa menjadi ponsel Friendster juga!

It would have been more sensible if they opted for a Google button instead. Facebook is silly, its users are silly and HTC riding the balls of Zuckerberg is just plain pathetic.

There’s a chatter in the online forums that the HTC Salsa will be released in the Philippines with a “Yugatech” button. LOL! ;)

Honestly, this phone is quite redundant with the HTC Wildfire S already available selling at ~12K only.

Haha, makes sense since Facebook is blocked in China. Weibo is similar to Twitter, actually, and, I think, is really popular there. When I was in Beijing a few months ago I’d often see advertisements of Weibo on the train.
