AT&T's HTC First gets a price cut, now available for $0.99
HTC First is a mid-ranger exclusive to the AT&T network that launched just under a month ago. It's the only phone where the recently announced Facebook Home launcher is available by default and integrates deeper into the Android OS.
HTC First premiered in April, costing $99.99 with a two-year contract or $350 SIM-free. However it appears that sales have not been exactly stellar as today AT&T cut the on-contract price down to just under a single dollar. It's a pretty decent offer for an LTE-capable smartphone, with an exclusive launcher (or vanilla Android Jelly Bean if you that what you prefer).
There is no info if this is a limited time promotion, but we'd bet against it. If you want to take advantage of the price cut, you can order the HTC First from here.

Thank God this is Android. Which means there will be custom roms and custom launchers. If this was some other OS (non-open source), it may not have sold at even 99 cents.
