Dive summary:
- HTC's nicknamed "Facebook Phone" and the social networks' Facebook Home mobile software package have both had disappointing starts since their launch earlier this year.
- HTC's Facebook Phone has sold fewer than 15,000 units and the company has dropped the price from 99 dollars to 99 cents.
- Android software Facebook Home is struggling with bad reviews and slow downloads; it has taken over a month for the software to reach the 1 million download mark on Google Play.
From the article:
"'This launcher is great if you want your lockscreen to show your Facebook feed but awful if you still need to use your phone for any other reason,' a user wrote in one of over 8,000 one-star reviews."
