HTC Status Facebook Phone Launching This Summer on AT&T

AT&T has finally gone ahead and made the upcoming HTC Status aka HTC ChaCha official and has announced that it will be arriving at some point this summer for a price that has yet to be disclosed.

As we’ve seen, AT&T’s version of the ChaCha is extremely similar to the one that is currently available elsewhere in the world and it features a dedicated Facebook button that provides deeper integration than the Facebook application. For instance, it glows when you are doing something that can be posted on Facebook. So if you’re a social nut, this is probably a phone to look at.

The specs on the HTC Status have been known for quite some time and look like this. It features a 2.6-inch touch screen with 480 x 320 resolution, Android 2.3 with modified HTC Sense 3.0, 512 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM,1250 mAh battery, and sports a 5 MP main camera with autofocus and a VGA  front-facing camera. It also has the bumped up MSM7227 800MHz processor.

Again, AT&T failed to give this a specific launch date or any pricing but we expect those details to be out soon.
