Meet the HTC First, the closest thing we'll get to a Facebook Phone, as it has Facebook Home preloaded.
Facebook Home is the eponymous social network's new deeply integrated Android overlay which brings all manner of Facebook shenanigans to your phone's homescreen and notifications bar.
"It's a great opportunity to bring mobile and social together even more closely," Cho said, promising "the best Facebook experience" on the device.
The HTC First comes with Instagram pre-loaded.
