HTC First gets unveiled for AT&T in the United States


After making a couple of appearances prior to its announcement, the Facebook-centered HTC First got officially unveiled. The Android smartphone will be available exclusively on AT&T in the United States from next Friday, April 12 for $99.99 with a two-year contract. Pre-orders for the handset kick-off today.




Naturally, the most important feature of the HTC First will be the integration of the freshly announced Facebook Home launcher into its Android OS. Facebook Home is built with your social networking cravings in mind. You can find out more about its features over here.




Hardware-wise, the HTC First features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with a dual-core CPU and a gig of RAM. A 4.3" 720p display, 5MP camera, and access to AT&T's LTE network are also part of the smartphone's specifications. The Android version on tap will be 4.1 Jelly Bean.

In Europe, the HTC First will be offered by Orange and EE in the coming months. No pricing and availability have been set though.

HTC First hardware hands-on

After endless months of speculation, the collaboration between HTC and Facebook has finally been revealed to the world. It's not a Facebook Phone per se, it's simply a skinned Android smartphone that just so happens to bestow deep social media integration upon the OS, a move which makes the First -- as well as future devices that feature the newly announced Facebook Home interface -- an appropriate candidate for the term. The First will be available April 12th for $100 on AT&T, but it can be pre-ordered starting today.

Ima li neka posebna fora osim što su napravili launcher?

Facebook and HTC pair up to offer a super-social Facebook experience for your Android smartphone:

A boring business trip gets a lot less boring, when Facebook Home brings a guy's friends on the journey with him. And all it takes is a few glances to reveal that his life isn't as conservative as his khakis.

HTC First with Facebook Home review

Instead of simply maintaining a smartphone presence, Facebook is ready to go to battle and is putting mobile on the top of its list of priorities. It's even adding a proper piece of hardware to its arsenal in the form of the HTC First, a 4.3-inch device on AT&T with LTE, reasonable mid-range specs and gorgeous display. Is it worth $99 with a two-year commitment to purchase a handset dedicated to the social cause? Should you just wait until Home is available as a free download in the Google Play Store? Or is it best to ignore it altogether?

HTC First Unboxing

HTC and Facebook teamed up to unveil two new products last Thursday, Facebook Home and the HTC First. Available on AT&T as of today, the HTC First is the first smartphone to come with Facebook Home pre-installed. Its specifications aren't the most impressive we've seen. By all means, it is a mid-range phone targeting Facebook fans that don't necessarily need a flagship model.

It houses a 4.3-inch display at 720p resolution (342ppi), a 1.4GHz dual-core Snapdragon 400 chip, 1GB RAM, 16GB fixed storage, a 2,000mAh battery and a 5-megapixel camera. Just as well, we give it the full unboxing treatment!

"Fejsbuk houm" dostupan i u Srbiji

Danijel Farkaš    | 16. 04. 2013. - 06:08h |

Najveća društvena mreža „Fejsbuk“ nedavno je predstavila svoj interfejs namenjen telefonima s Androidom. Pre par dana „Houm“ je postao zvanično dostupan, a iako je namenjen samo određenim telefonima i tržištima (Srbija nije podržana), postoji mogućnost instaliranja.

“Houm” je moguće instalirati samo na nekoliko telefona (HTC One, One X, One X+ i Samsung S III, Note II), a ujedno je zasad dostupan u samo nekoliko zemalja. Pošto se Srbija ne nalazi među njima, “Houm” ne može da se preuzme sa zvanične prodavnice “Gugl plej”, ali zato postoje alternativni načini.
dostupan

U suštini instaliranje je veoma jednostavno, potrebno je skinuti instalacioni APK fajl sa foruma www.modaco.com, prebaciti ga u telefon i pokrenuti ga. Da biste mogli da instalirate, potrebno je da obe aplikacije (Fejsbuk i Mesendžer) budu ažurirane na poslednju verziju i da na telefonu bude omogućeno instaliranje aplikacija „sa nepoznatih izvora“ (nalazi se u podešavanjima/bezbednost).
instalacija


Kada sve bude instalirano, pokretanje „Houma“ se obavlja u podešavanjima aplikacije Fejsbuk. Za one koji nemaju ove modele takođe postoji mogućnost instaliranja tako što je potrebno instalirati posebne verzije aplikacija „Houm“, „Fejsbuk“ i „Mesendžer“ koje se takođe nalaze na ovom sajtu. Uklanjanje „Houma“ je jednostavno. Potrebno je samo da ga deinstalirate. „Houm“ deluje zanimljivo i jednostavan je za korišćenje, ali je namenjen onima koji su zavisni od Fejsbuka. Oni koji povremeno pogledaju ovaj servis neće biti oduševljeni.
 
Šta donosi „Fejsbuk Houm“
- Nakon instalacije, ova aplikacija presvlači Android i sve deluje novo a ipak poznato. Pritiskom na taster za otključavanje pojavljuju se postovi vašim prijatelja s Fejsbuka. Možete odmah da ih listate i komentarišete s početnog ekrana.
- Iznad traka sa podešavanjima je slika vašeg Fejsbuk profila. Pritiskom na nju dobijate prečice, Mesendžer, Fejsbuk ili pristup ostalim aplikacijama.
- Taster „houm“ na telefonu takođe otvara listu aplikacija. Sve se nalaze na jednoj strani i pregledaju se listanjem gore/dole.

HTC First Review

Tagged as the first phone to offer the all-encompassing Facebook experience, the HTC First seems like the no-brainer device for hardcore Facebook users, but will it have enough uniqueness to call its own, so that it's a compelling choice over other devices that are bound to also get treated to the new Facebook Home experience?...
