Barcelona, Spain (AFP) Feb 15, 2011 Facebook users will be able to show friends their exact GPS location as well as sharing text and photos with new smartphones launched here Tuesday by top Taiwan device maker HTC. The smartphone maker collaborated with Facebook in the design of two models, the HTC Salsa and HTC Chacha, which were launched at the mobile phone industry's annual get-together in Barcelona.

The company also presented at the Mobile World Congress three updated versions of its smartphones -- the HTC Wildfire S, HTC Desire S et HTC Incredible S.
