HTC Salsa to be exclusive to O2 in the UK?

The HTC Salsa could be set to land exclusively on O2 in the UK, according to online phone retailer Clove.

The Salsa is one of two questionably named Android 'Facebook phones' launched by HTC at this year's Mobile World Congress show ? the other being the HTC ChaCha.

Both the HTC Salsa and HTC ChaCha UK release dates have been mooted for some time in June, but Clove is now putting question marks over the availability of a SIM-free HTC Salsa.

The retailer's blog post reads, "The HTC Salsa will launch in the UK as an O2 exclusive and as of yet there is no indication as to when/if it will be available SIM-free."

We've put a call in to O2 to see what the network has to say for itself; we'll keep you posted.

The potential O2 exclusivity hasn't stopped Amazon sticking up an HTC Salsa pre-order page, pegging the release date as 26 June with a price tag of �319.99.

The retail giant has also listed the QWERTY-licious HTC ChaCha for release on 26 June, although Clove is sticking with 17 June.

The unlocked and SIM-free HTC ChaCha UK pricing has also been confirmed by Clove as �210 plus VAT, supported by Amazon's listing of the handset for �249.99.
