The first device with a Facebook share button, the HTC Status ensures those moments happen more often, keeping you at the center of your social circle.

HTC Status also features a chat widget that allows you to, at a glance, see when your friends are online. You can start a live instant chat and juggle between as many private conversations as you want, all straight from the device. “HTC Status brings a Facebook experience to people who want to share their experiences with their friends faster and easier than ever before,” said Jason Mackenzie, President, HTC Americas. “With a dedicated Facebook share button combined with the hallmark HTC Sense experience, HTC Status makes it easy for people to stay connected to the things that are important to them.”

Instead of a barrier, the HTC shortcut lock screen just became a launch pad to what you want to do now! Open your favorite apps by just dragging their shortcut icons into the lock screen ring. Every time you get or make a call, you see your friend’s profile picture and latest status update right on the call screen. Use camera effects to make your photos and videos look like they’ve been taken through special lenses and filters-like Sepia for an old-fashioned look, or Aqua for a touch of cool. Apply effects right in the viewfinder, or apply them afterwards in the Gallery. Take a spontaneous self-portrait or a quick cheek-to-cheek pic with your best pal on the VGA front-facing camera-or just double-check your hair with the Mirror app. With the 5.0 MP main camera with LED flash, you can capture every moment, with pictures or high-quality video. The Quiet ring on pickup setting reduces the ring volume when you pick the phone up. The Pocket mode setting increases ring volume when your phone is in a pocket or bag, and then returns the volume to a reasonable level when you take it out.
