Facebook phones have not done well. The HTC ChaCha that became the HTC Status QWERTY was discontinued by AT&T back in August 2011, designed for tweens it lasted only a few months on the market.
The HTC First, on the other hand lastest only a month. The mid-level Android smartphone sold-out after a 99-cent fire sale.
Th HTC First will loaded with HTC Home that takes over the OS to be more like Facebook.
To put it simply, FaceBook Home did not hit home with the fans, and didn't even come close to a home run.
"We sold a bunch more when we lowered the price," AT&T's Ralph de la Vega told CNet. "We sold everything we had on that."
He likened the HTC First to the Motorola ROKR, an iTunes music phone launched in 2005 which was two years ahead of the iPhone but lead to the Apple partnership with AT&T to sell the iPhone.
Facebook has stopped sales of the HTC First in the U.K.
Facebook has promised some Home-improvements to other other apps to pinned into the interface.
HTC First is not to be confused with the HTC One, the premium smartphone currently available from AT&T and soon to be released from Verizon Wireless.
