The long-awaited Facebook phone is finally here. The all new HTC Status with onboard Facebook button and integration with Facebook-specific features joins the long line of 2010 and 2011 hit products released by this game changing Taiwanese company that only three years ago was hardly on the scene. Due to be released at a very affordable $49 through AT&Ts website, the specs on the Status, owing in name to the Facebook nomenclature “status update”, are actually pretty nice for a phone overall, and in no way is this a Facebook-only phone.
Amazon actually has the new HTC Status on their site today to purchase for only a penny ($.01) for all customers both new and existing upgrades.
