AT&T is prepared to discontinue the Android HTC First due to stagnant sales, according to The Guardian.

After introducing the so-called Facebook phone at the beginning of April, AT&T has sold fewer than 15,000 units and dropped its price from 99 dollars to 99 cents. By comparison, AT&T has sold an average of 300,000 Android phones per month since the beginning of 2013. AT&T denied plans to cancel the HTC First and described the price plummet as a "promotion."
