HTC First: First Impressions.

[miwaca]

These are the specs for the new HTC First:

Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 dual-core
RAM: 1GB
Display: 4.3-inch LCD, 720p
Camera: 5MP rear, 1.6MP front
Connectivity: Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS
Four color options: red, blue, white, black
4G LTE
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean + HTC Sense 4.1 + Facebook Home

Facebook Home aside, I think these specs are great for a worthy developer's and or backup device. What do you think?

Wish more phones would have 720p in the 4.3" screen size. If this phone had a snapdragon 600 and didn't have Facebook home it'd be my next device most likely.

Couldn't you just use a third party launcher with this device too, though?

My first impression is that this will be the least busiest Mobile Nations forum.

Or the most juvenile female teen forum. Glad I got my girl friend a nexus 4.

U can just turn off Facebook home and it will basically be a stock android device. Tour not gonna get the latest updates directly from Google but its still a good phone and 4.3" in 720p is perfect for me.

Me too!! the round edges look good.. I also came across a review that was quite interesting.. I don't think u should call this a failure model just because u thought it was a facebook phone.. come on.. any disagreements?? HTC First Full Review

I picked one of these up to replace my wife's aging iphone 3. I first set it up by turning off facebook home and installed Nova launcher. After that I realized this was a really good phone. As I just returned the HTC One (bad reception at work and just too BIG (for me)) I am thinking of getting one for myself. This is a great size for a phone, it has a great screen, have noticed no lag at all and is very light weight. I think the big problem with the phone is that they call it "the facebook phone", once you get past that its great.

It does have quite good features and you cannot ignore that.
