If you're interested in a Facebook phone that does not run the Android OS then here's the MOTOKEY SOCIAL from Motorola. This handset packs a QWERTY keyboard, a 3MP camera, WiFi support, and a 2.4-inch touchscreen display. This handset is available right now on Telus for $89.99 contract-free so that's actually pretty darn cheap.

Finally, a clear photo of the Motorola EX225 has leaked and it's coming from Mobile Syrup. This device has a Facebook button and it has already hit the FCC. This will reportedly be hitting Telus in Canada as the MOTOKEY SOCIAL. Apparently, the handset will only be available on the carrier on a pre-paid plan but we can't complain.

If you're interested, this one features a 2.4-inch touchscreen display, a QWERTY keyboard, a 3MP camera, WiFi support, and a 9.9mm thin body. The OS is unknown right now but it actually might not be running Android since it's missing the soft-key buttons and it's definitely not running Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich." It should be a cheap one.

The picture above is said to be yet another Facebook phone but it's not from HTC this time. Apparently, the Motorola EX225 will be sporting the Android OS as well as the dedicated Facebook button. Specs are mostly unknown right now but it should have a 2.4-inch display, Bluetooth support, and a QWERTY keyboard.

It's available right now on the carrier for $49.99 on a 2-year contract and $399.99 contract-free if that's your thing. Check it out on AT&T.

The HTC ChaCha can now be pre-ordered if you're willing to get it on AT&T in the US. The HTC Status with Facebook integration and the Android OS can be yours if you agree to paying $49.99 on a 2-year contract. The smartphone features a QWERTY keyboard, a 2.6-inch touchscreen display, and "Gingerbread". Check it out on AT&T.

On Facebook AT&T has just announced the HTC ChaCha as the HTC Status. The handset features the dedicated Facebook button as well as the Android OS with the Sense UI. The phone also has a QWERTY keyboard and an 800MHz CPU but the price is still unknown. It should be available soon - likely mid-July.

We heard about it just a few days ago and now we know that the QWERTY-packing Nokia X2-01 will be hitting Rogers. The Canadian carrier should be launching it soon but the price is still unknown. It could be on their prepaid line-up but that's unconfirmed right now.

Yet another handset is headed North of the border and it'll be the HTC Salsa. This handset was officially announced earlier this year and has Facebook integration along with the Android OS. The handset features a 3.4-inch display, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash, a front-facing camera, an 800MHz CPU, and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" with the Sense UI. It's unknown which carrier will be getting this one right now.

Mobile Syrup has just confirmed that the HTC ChaCha will be hitting Telus in Canada. You may know that this QWERTY Android phone packs some deep Facebook integration. The boot-up animation that you see above confirms it but it's unknown exactly when it'll be available on the carrier. I guess you'll have to wait for it if you want it.

BGR has just officially confirmed that the HTC ChaCha will be hitting AT&T in the US - following the leaks - as the HTC Status. The handset sports a QWERTY keyboard and packs some Facebook integration which could be a nice touch if you're always on the website. Furthermore, the HTC Salsa apparently won't be hitting AT&T in the near future and may actually never get launched on the carrier.

On Facebook, Sony Ericsson announced two new phones, the Mix Walkman and the txt pro. First up, the Mix Walkman (above) features a 3-inch touchscreen display, a 3.2MP camera, an FM radio, and a microSD card slot. The txt pro, on the other hand, look a whole lot like an XPERIA Mini Pro and features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Both of these handsets are targeting a Q3 launch.

AT&T's Facebook page has confirmed that they will be releasing the HTC HD7 as the HD7S. This smartphone runs Windows Phone 7 and sports the "S" because it has a 4.3-inch Super LCD display which is a bit better than a regular LCD display in all aspects. Other specs include 16GB of storage, 512MB of ROM, 576MB of RAM, WiFi / Bluetooth support, a 5MP AF camera with a dual-LED flash, and a 1GHz CPU. This will be available on the carrier on June 5th for $199.99.

If you live in the UK then you might want to head over the Amazon if you're obsessed with Facebook. HTC's two Facebook phones, the ChaCha and the Salsa have just popped up online for £250 ($409 USD) and £320 ($524 USD), respectively. The ChaCha only has a 2.6-inch display along with a QWERTY keyboard while the Salsa has a 3.4-inch display that you'll have to type on. Sadly, they're both powered by a 600MHz Qualcomm CPU which could be too slow for you. Check them out here and here, respectively, now if you want to, but they'll be delivered on June 26th.

HTC has just unveiled what just seemed like a crazy rumour. Yup, these are Android-based handsets with a Facebook button awkwardly on the front of them. The one above is the HTC Salsa while the one below is the HTC Chacha - weird names for weird devices, I see. Both of these handsets are expected to launch in late Q2 of this year so quite possibly in June. If you want to check out the specs then check them out below.

The above handset is the HTC Salsa and it packs a 3.4-inch touchscreen display with a 320 x 480 resolution, a 600MHz CPU, 512MB of ROM / RAM, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash, a front-facing camera, a 12.3mm body, and Android 2.4 with the Sense UI. This handset is barely different from the HTC Legend but people will likely still go out and buy one.

The other "Facebook phone" is the HTC Chacha. This one packs a 2.6-inch display, a QWERTY keyboard, 512MB of ROM / RAM, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash, a front-facing camera, a 600MHz CPU, a 10.7mm thin body (with a slight chin), and Android with the Sense UI.

Update: Facebook has mentioned that you can expect a "dozen" of these phones this year and these are the first two.

[Engadget]

PocketNow has just picked up photos and information on what could be the first two Android-based Facebook phones from HTC. According to their information the one with the QWERTY is reportedly the HTC Snap 2, while the other one is the HTC Icon. I'm going to assume that these handsets we'll launch soon and maybe we'll even see them announced at MWC. Specs are unknown right now so we'll have to wait for that important information to leak.

Coming from TechCrunch is word on the photo above and video below being the INQ Cloud Touch aka the Facebook Phone. Of course, this handset isn't actually going to be Facebook-branded and it's running the Android OS. However, this phone does use Facebook's API for deep integration so it may be good for teens. This handset may be the INQ Cloud Touch but the channel manager, Andrew Bennet, has mentioned that there's a model with a QWERTY keyboard, dubbed the INQ Cloud Q. Check out the video below if your teens need a new phone so they can Facebook Chat their buddies.

Update: Pocket-Lint has picked up a few more photos of the INQ Cloud Touch (above) and another Pocket-Lint post got a few photos of the INQ Cloud Q handset (below). They've mentioned that you'll see both of these Facebook Android phones at MWC.

Sony Ericsson has just come clean on at least one product that they'll be bringing to MWC on February 13th at 18:00 GMT. Yes, it's going to be their Android powered gaming smartphone, the XPERIA Play. We've seen this one on video many times before but it'll be good to see exactly how Sony Ericsson handles the unveiling. Maybe even some live demonstration of some gaming on the device. That'd be good. Check out their Facebook page, which is where they come clean about said smartphone.

Coming from Droid-Life is word that Best Buy leaked their release dates on their own Grand Rapids South Facebook page (it's been pulled since then). Release dates are as follows: HTC Thunderbolt on February 14th, Samsung Presto "Hotspot" on February 17th, and the more impressive "Honeycomb" powered Motorola XOOM on February 24th. Of course, we can't really confirm this, but this is coming from Best Buy's official page. Either way, two new Android devices are going to be hitting Verizon very soon!
