Before we let you know more about the HTC Status, we would like to know if there is any point with buying it. What we mean in that is Google has just released its new Google + (Plus) service and it is great, obviously they are trying to be better than Facebook, the HTC Status runs on the Android system. Personally they should have stopped the release and developed the HTC Status with a dedicated Google+ button instead of the dedicated Facebook button. Do you agree with us, yes or no?
The Facebook share button allows users to instantly post what they want on their profile walls direct from the HTC Status with ease, all you need to do is press the little FB button on the phone. Take pictures or video and post them straight away, you can even upload multiple pictures, Check in to Facebook Places by pressing and holding the Facebook share button from the home screen, Let your friends in on the music you love with the push of a button by pressing the Facebook share button to post the song title and other details. You can also share something cool on the Web with a quick press of the Facebook share button and be the first with the news.
