HTC Salsa and ChaCha in UK in June, the Incredible S in March

 

HTC's Facebook-loving duo, the HTC Salsa and HTC ChaCha, will be arriving at the UK in June. Also in the UK, the HTC Incredible S is on pre-order right now and will be available much sooner than its SNS-infused siblings.

The HTC Salsa and HTC ChaCha made waves at the MWC with their dedicated Facebook buttons and deeply integrated Facebook connectivity. You can read up on our impressions of the two, in case you missed it.

So far we've heard that Vodafone UK will be carrying the HTC ChaCha (supposedly, Orange and Three will too). Now, Expansys UK has put the ChaCha up on pre-order along with the HTC Salsa.

The expected release date is set for 17 June, but there's not much info - nothing on price or carriers.

The HTC Incredible S will arrive sooner though - it's expected on the 3 March. It's been on pre-order at Amazon Germany for a while now but wasn't available in the UK.

Mobiles.co.uk have it on pre-order for Vodafone, O2 and Orange, although prices for Orange haven't been confirmed yet. You can get the HTC Incredible S from Vodafone UK for free with ?30/month (2-year contract), while O2 has it for free with ?25.53/month (again, 2-year contract).

There are plenty of other plans so you can choose the one that fits you best. Oh, and we have some hands-on impressions from the Incredible S too. It will run Froyo at launch, with plans to upgrade later.

Update, 25 February: Mobiles.co.uk tweeted that the HTC Incredible S is shipping starting today (Friday) and your unit can arrive as soon as this Saturday. You can get it on a contract with Vodafone or O2, it's not yet available for Orange (you can sign up to be notified when it does become available).

Android 2.3 to hit the HTC Desire HD, Desire Z, Desire, Incredible S

Don't worry HTC owners, you are not forgotten. According to spokesman Android 2.3 Gingerbread is definitely in the works for the HTC Desire HD, HTC Desire Z, the original Desire and the Incredible S. The updates are scheduled for Q2, so that means from April onwards.

If you remember, the Incredible S started shipping this weekend in the UK running Android Froyo.

HTC however managed to surprise us with the Gingerbread update for the original HTC Desire, HTC Desire Z and HTC Desire HD users.

The original Desire already went from Eclair to Froyo and now it's getting Gingerbread too. It seems like the kind of support all Android phones should be getting.

So far we don't have specific schedules on the updates but we'll keep you posted if we hear anything new.
