HTC Salsa makes appearance in Malaysia via DiGi Facebook SMS Contest

Earlier on, HTC has announced 2 Facebook phones, the HTC Salsa and HTC Chacha. Now, it appears that one of them is already here in Malaysia but offered as a contest prize for DiGi’s FB SMS Contest to promote its Facebook SMS Alert and Update service.

Just a recap on the device, the HTC Salsa is an Android device with a dedicated Facebook button at the front. Being a Facebook-centric device, the Salsa is expected to have Facebook deeply integrated into the OS which we think is already a standard in most HTC devices. You can read up more on these Facebook devices in our previous post here.

If you’re interested in winning one, all you need to do is subscribe to DiGi’s FB SMS Service from now until 31st July and send at least 3 FB updates. To subscribe, just sms “FB” to 2325.
