If you’ve been eager to replace your start screen with a
scrolling Facebook feed, your day has finally come. The HTC
First is the first smartphone with deep enough Facebook integration to be
dubbed the “Facebook phone.” It uses an
Android OS primed with Facebook’s baby-blue interface, sending you directly to
the familiar news feed, photo service, and messaging system that used to hide
in a dedicated app.
Reviews for the HTC First “Facebook phone” started appearing on the web today, with largely positive
reactions. Its specs are on par with
what smartphone users expect, and some have expressed an appreciation for the
way it puts Facebook front-and-center without making it difficult to use other
Android programs.
