HTC Chacha in Philippines Suffers from �Fn + @� Bug

Posted by newbie Tuesday, July 26, 2011 0 comments

A Philippine-based tech blogger has reported that a fresh batch of HTC Chacha (also known as HTC Status) has one bug that affects its keyboard. Apparently, if you try to hold the Fn button and press the �Y� key, you get the Pound sign (��) instead of the �@� character as implied on the keyboard. According to the Abe Olandres of Yugatech, he tried �a couple of HTC Chacha,� which is distributed exclusively by carrier Smart, for a hands-on review and all units had the same problem.
For a phone that brags itself as a �Facebook phone,� using the �@� sign is a huge deal. Facebook users type it to tag their friends in a status update or comment.
After several hours, the blogger posted an update saying the �@� sign can be typed by using the Fn+P combination, but that would leave out the tilde sign (�~�).
Does this bug only affect HTC Chacha units being sold in the Philippines? We will see when the reviews from other countries start pouring in.
