HTC has launched the ChaCha in the Indian market, with hopes of capturing a different segment of the crowd. With Blackberry phones including the new 9900 with touch and type coming in at a premium one can only wonder if the target audience is looking for an alternative.

Here are some of the specs of the HTC ChaCha:

Android 2.3 Gingerbread
HTC Sense 2.1 for Keyboard devices ( variant of 3.0)
800Mhz Processor
512MB RAM
Front Facing Camera (WiFi Video Calls)
5 Megapixel Camera
HSDPA 7.2mb/s
Bluetooth 3.0
802.11 B/G/N WiFi
GPS

The device is extremely well built with metal and plastic accents the construction is robust and almost robot-like. The shape and form factor is also kind of new with the forward tilted screen and new design qwerty keyboard.

This is also possibly the only other Android device to have a dedicated Facebook button. Which is what also makes it a young persons phone, while remaining a strong competitor in the business smartphone market.
