Good: keyboard

Bad: battery life, andriod set up, memory & how slow it is and freezes alot

Comment: This has been the worst phone i have got! I got the HTC ChaCha in replace to a Blackberry. I have a 8GB memory card in the phone, it still doesnt let me have any apps, add or delete contacts, cant look at pictures or videos. As the phone is designed for Facebook, when i go on it it just freezes as the same when i text. I cant go on the Andriod Market as it freezes and force closes. I have deleted everything off the phone, but unfortunatly it still says theres not enough memory. I havent had this phone for 6months yet and now i have to go get another phone. This was NOT worth the £260 i paid for it, i am not going back to a Blackberry. I would NOT recomend this phone to anyone. It has nothing but problems!.

Good: Functionality very good - easy to operate keyboard

Bad: Screen

Comment: I purchased an HTC Cha Cha just after Christmas. Three weeks later the screen split across one corner - just below top right corner to the bottom left corner. The same day I bought the phone I purchased a 'hard' cover for extra protection. The day the glass screen cracked the phone was safely stored in a loose pocket of my trousers. On contacting HTC I was advised the screen was not covered by warranty and I could return it to them to to assess what the cost of repair would be. On returning the item to Carphone Warehouse, where I purchased the phone, they advised the cost to repair would be £180 and said I had been 'incredibly unlucky'. They also stated that operation of the phone would gradually deteriorate due to moisture being able to enter via the crack. The assistant wondered if the shape of the phone could have been a contributory factor in my bad luck. At present the phone works okay but when it finally packs up I would not consider anything produced by HTC

Good: Lovely keyboard. Bright screen. Shape. Clear voice calling.

Bad: internal memory, text glitch, only comes in white, heavy, sometimes very slow, small screen. slow GPS.

Comment: Ok.. So... I was probably one of the first people to get this phone and have had it for a while. This is probably one of the best (if not the best) qwerty keyboard phones out there. In a simplistic sense everything works very well with the phone. This all changes when you want to do something a bit more complicated. Maps don't work well. Mine has an annoying glitch with the texting. Every time I start typing an SMS the screen jumps to the top of the conversation and you can't see what your writing. This annoys the crap out of me! Also, why did they only make this model in one colour? This phone looks very cool in black and would of been a lot more to the liking of male customers... The most annoying thing is that the internal memory is terrible! If you have apps that have to run from the internal memory then you can only get about two decent ones on there....

In conclusion, a great phone if you are looking for simple texting and phoning with limited internet browsing. If you want something that does more than this then I would suggest getting something a little better.

Good: I have really found it easy to use!

Bad: The only negative towards it is my battery use...I use the apps and internet daily and it needs charging again.

Comment: I bascially love it! and and very addicted to telling everyone where I am right now ie check in on FB, best qwerty keyboard I've ever touched!!

Good: Easy to use keyboard, fast internet, cheap price, all rounder good

Bad: small screen, no video chat even though there's a front facing camera, photos

Comment: After researching a phone that would suit my needs best, including a reasonable price, I bought the HTC Chacha. It's a very good phone. I text a lot & the keypad is fantastic, so easy to use! The keys are spaced apart so no pressing the wrong keys with fat fingers! I don't do loads of internet with my mobile, so the small (albeit, very clear) screen is passable. The screen is better than a BlackBerry, but is still small. I have many deaf friends who use video chat to talk using sign language, so I was specifically needing a phone with a front facing camera. However, Skype video is not supported on the Chacha & the small screen doesn't work well with other software. The camera is OK for snaps & has a flash, but can't cope with any movement whatsoever.
So, for texting, typing & Facebook - Brilliant! For internet - fast, but small. Battery life is good if you don't go on-line. It depletes very quickly if you use the internet - get spare batteries!

Good: its a click away from fb you can download loads of free apps you can use it as an internet hub and also the small screen isnt as bad as all the people are saying ye its a little small but it doesnt even make much of a difference.

Bad: limited flash support in browser

Comment: i think its a really good phone, easy to use, graphics are amazing, amazing qwerty keyboard, easy face book access, thousands of free apps, and it runs the latest version on android !!!
