The HTC Chacha’s twin touchscreen phone, HTC Salsa, has not arrived in the Philippines yet but it looks like in China, its got a totally different dedicated button altogether.
Yup, the HTC Salsa Facebook phone is apparently called the HTC Salsa Weibo phone in the mainland {via}. Not really that surprising since Facebook is heavily regulated in China.
The HTC Salsa is supposed to be the full touchscreen version of the Chacha and is labeled as one of the two un-official Facebook phones.

This Weibo thing is probably huge in China (150M users) and could be the next best thing after FB in the country.
Side note: Imagine, if the HTC Chacha or Salsa came out in 2005 or 2006 in the Philippines, it could have been the Friendster phone too!
