At the beginning of last month we told how the HTC First so-called Facebook phone had not exactly taken the world by storm. The phone is the first device to launch with the new Facebook Home feature but poor sales may be the reason that AT&T’s HTC First has now received a drastic price cut.

Although the HTC First is a mid-range device its unibody design is actually quite attractive. As it adds almost stock Android and in-depth engagement with Facebook you would imagine it may have had more appeal than it seems to have managed although maybe some consumers thought it was something of a novelty.

If you want to purchase the phone now on AT&T it will now only cost you $0.99 on the usual two-year contract, which is pretty much a bargain whatever way you look at it. As well as that there’s a $100 price slash, from $450 to $350 if you want it off-contract.

The HTC First is powered by a 1.4GHz Qualcomm dual-core processor, has a 4.3-inch display with resolution of 1280 x 720, 1GB of RAM and up to 16GB of internal storage. It also has a 5-megapixel rear camera with 1080p video capture, a 1.6-megapixel front-facing shooter, 2000 mAh battery and runs the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS.
