"Are you a fan of the social network-centric smartphone, like the HTC First? What do or don't you like about them?"

Roger DeOliveira I might be getting old, but im all set. Facebook is turning into "come here daily and check out our new advertisements"....I never use twitter...im not "hip" to that, Tumblr seems full of emo kids that are crying for attention, and what ever happened to myspace? i dont know

Dhun Patel There is good , bad , and ugly about this type of phone This will applie to teens more. It isn't the time yet we aren't in that generation yet. Doesn't have a good interface for Facebook , it is a big upgrade from the old version , it has to be fixed alittle .

Sue Riot Twitter would be good, Facebook is just filled with nonsense. But going by my web use, I think Tumblr phone would be most beneficial for me. LOL
