HTC ChaCha in China with QQ instead of Facebook button

Remember that HTC Weike - Salsa with Weibo rather than Facebook button, Now HTC did the same to HTC ChaCha. The Chinese version of HTC ChaCha comes with a QQ button, and various QQ-related services rather than Facebook. It's not strange because Facebook is blocked in China and QQ is the country's most popular instant messaging platform with more than 700 million users in China.

Aside from the service, the Chinese HTC ChaCha has identical hardware specifications to the standard one including the same Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Sense UI, a 2.6-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen display, a full QWERTY keyboard, 5MP camera, 800MHz CPU, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and so on.

Still no word on exactly when the device will actually be available, but the Chinese HTC ChaCha will apparently cost 2,680 yuan ($419) in China.
