Failbook Phone: AT&T Already Looking To Ditch The HTC Status, Says Source

Failbook Phone: AT&T Already Looking To Ditch The HTC Status, Says Source

Posted on Aug 24, 2011 by MG15

Surprise! Even a clever little gimmick like a dedicated Facebook button can’t save a bad phone from an early demise.

After just 36 days on the shelves, a trusted source close to AT&T tells us the carrier is already prepping to ditch HTC’s so-called “Facebook Phone”, the Status. The reason? The thing just isn’t selling.

Since the initial tipster came forward, we’ve confirmed with multiple sources that sales of the Status are considerably lower than anyone expected. AT&T declined to comment.

HTC Status now available on AT&T!

HTC Status now available on AT&T!

Posted on Jul 19, 2011 by MG1

As expected, the day has come and AT&T is now offering the HTC Status, which is the carrier’s version of the ChaCha. This Facebook-friendly phone rocks a dedicated button for accessing your favorite social network along with full QWERTY keyboard and touchscreen to make cyber schmoozing convenient. This privilege will get 50 bucks out of your pocket while at the same time requiring your signature on AT&T’s two-year contract with a plan starting at $39.99. Free shipping with online purchase comes included.
In a nutshell, the Status is not a device that will make you more productive, except if think of the time spent on Facebook as a job. If that’s the case, have no second thoughts – grab the S...

Posted on Jul 18, 2011 by MG3

HTC's "don't call it the Facebook phone but it is a Facebook phone" Status is now available for purchase from AT&T.

Of course, you also get a special button for all of your Facebooking needs, and HTC has included some Facebook-specific apps with the version of Sense that is installed on the Status. Take a look at our initial hands-on impressions and stay tuned for a more in-depth review.

HTC Status ships July 17th, currently in a pre-order relationship with AT&T

Posted on Jul 12, 2011 by MG1

Following the usual leak + wait-and-see saga, AT&T has today confirmed that it'll be the exclusive home to one half of HTC's Facebook-infused duo. The so-called Status will be making its way onto Ma Bell's airwaves on July 17th, with eager social networkers able to get their pre-orders in today. It'll sell for $49.99 on a two-year agreement, with that tally netting you a dedicated Facebook "Share" button that'll allow photos / videos /websites to be instantly uploaded to your account. We're also told that it'll ship with Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) onboard, with an "enhanced version" of HTC's Sense overlay. Other specs include a 5 megapixel camera (with autofocus and LED flash), a 2.6-inch t...

HTC Status and LG Thrill 4G To Hit AT&T This Month?

HTC Status and LG Thrill 4G To Hit AT&T This Month?

Posted on Jul 06, 2011 by MG1

Sometime in the last year or so, the carriers picked up a bad new habit. They’d announce that they were getting a phone, talk all about the specs… but then give no indication of when it might actually be available. Maybe it’s because they don’t like making promises they’re not sure they can keep; maybe it’s because they’re hoping that a second announcement — the one containing the pricing/availability details — will stir up a second whirlwind of press. Whatever the motivation, it’s terribly annoying.
Take the Status and the glasses-free 3D LG Thrill for example. The Status just went official last week. The Thrill 4G, however, went official way back in March — and yet, there’s still no offici...

AT&T HTC Status in the wild

AT&T HTC Status in the wild

Posted on Jun 29, 2011 by MG1

We’ve just been sent a shot of AT&T’s upcoming Facebook-centric device, the AT&T HTC Status. The device looks pretty identical to the European HTC ChaCha, save for the obvious AT&T branding. We exclusively reported the HTC Status would be the official name of the device here in the U.S., and now that it’s confirmed, we have to say, it’s one of the most logical names for a device we can think of in recent memory. One more shot of the Facebook phone that’s not a Facebook phone, after the break.
