.
AT&T did not disclose how many units were sold. "We were able to sell all after we reduced the price of the HTC First", - said Vega. Previously, AT&T denied the intention to stop selling HTC First, but reduced the price of the smartphone from $ 99 to $ 0.99.
Price cut comes just a few weeks after the presentation of the smartphone, says Cnet. It means that the product was not a success. And soon the companies had to inform customers about the HTC First, they can deactivate the setting of Facebook over the operating system Android.
De la Vega compared with the model HTC First ROKR phone from Motorola, which immediately was not well received by users and poorly executed, despite the fact that itwas the first attempt to go to the Apple mobile market (ROKR has been adapted to work with the store Apple iTunes). "We have a good relationship with Apple, and with Facebook. We try to make Home (so-called set-up Facebook for HTC First) better," - said Vega.
HTC and Facebook introduced HTC First at the beginning of April this year. The smartphone that runs on Android, has been adapted to work with the Facebook application using Facebook Home. This application replaces the home screen of the phone and provides access to the functions of communication through a social network, including a chat with the ability to make calls to friends in the social network.
"It's about turning your Android-smartphone in a fine social phone that unlike modern smartphones built around applications that focus on the people with whom you are communicating," - said at the time the founder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg.
