HTC First, aka the Facebook phone, falls flat

Well, that was fast. Barely a month after HTC and Facebook unveiled the HTC First, AT&T is offering the social-media infused handset for just 99 cents with a two-year contract.

HP Slate 7

The HP Slate 7 strips out way too much to make its low price, and what's left can't compare to the Nexus 7's offerings.

ZTE Director (U.S. Cellular)
