The HTC First, aka the "Facebook phone," will soon be discontinued, the tech blog BGR reports. A source at AT&T; has told BGR that the company will no longer produce the HTC First and that unsold phones will be returned to the Taiwanese phone manufacturer. The phone, which came with Facebook Home preinstalled, was released just one month ago, on April 12.

Last week, in a move of apparent desperation, AT&T; started selling the phone for just 99 cents. Even with the original low price of $99 and later the ridiculously low price of $1, BGR's source at AT&T; says that fewer than 15,000 HTC Firsts have been sold.

The HTC First did not get bad reviews by any means, and it was projected to do well. The issue is likely not with the phone itself, but with Facebook Home. The app only has 2 out of 5 stars on the Google app store after more than 16,000 reviews. People just don't like Facebook enough to want their entire phone devoted to it.

While Facebook has over 1 billion users worldwide, people seem more complacent with the network. Facebook scored a low 61 out of 100 on the American Customer Satisfaction Index last year, and something tells us with the recent updates to Facebook, like autoplaying video ads, Facebook's approval rating isn't going up anytime soon.

UPDATE: In reference to the HTC First reportedly being discontinued, AT&T; told 9to5Google that they "have made no decisions on future plans.”

  • 1. Strangers

    You'd think this would be a no-brainer, but, apparently, quite a few Facebook users have no problem adding strangers as friends. According to a study <a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2011/11/one-in-five-willing-to-make-facebook-friends-with-complete-strangers/" target="_hplink">released late last year</a>, about one in five users were willing to add a complete stranger as a friend on Facebook. If you'd really like to interact with people you don't actually know without exposing your personal information, consider adding <a href="https://www.facebook.com/about/subscribe" target="_hplink">Facebook's "Subscribe" button</a> to your Timeline; that way, you can let others view your public updates without having to add them as Facebook friends.

  • 2. People Who Like To Friend Everyone

    Probably not the best idea to friend those who you know like to add everyone they can as a friend on Facebook, including strangers. That can leave your personal information open for creeps to see, especially if your <a href="https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy" target="_hplink">privacy settings</a> allow friends of friends to view certain info.

  • 3. Your Loved One's Exes

    Just plain awkward...Unless, of course, your current boyfriend or girlfriend is still really good friends with his or her ex and you have the will power to resist Facebook stalking them. But beware! Friending your loved one's ex may expose comments, pictures and more you'd rather not let them see.

  • 4. Your Boss

    Sure, everyone makes mistakes. But if you happen to post one of those "mistakes" on Facebook when you're friends with your boss, you may end up getting fired. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/26/fired-over-facebook-posts_n_659170.html#s115707&title=Swiss_Woman_Caught" target="_hplink">These 13 people</a>, for example, were fired for mistakes they made on Facebook, which included everything from writing the wrong thing to posting offensive pictures. In this case, it's probably better to be safe than sorry.

  • 5. People Who Like To Advertise Everything

    It's bad enough seeing PR-type posts from people and companies that we don't even follow <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/29/new-facebook-ads_n_1311154.html" target="_hplink">on our News Feeds</a>, so why exacerbate that problem by following those who like to advertise everything? Whether they're an actual public relations rep, a budding musician who posts way too many videos or one of those people whose statuses look like "I ate Trix for breakfast this morning, lol" we we suggest staying away from these types. Unless of course you like that kind of thing.
