What we need to see is what they develop.
mabe they are working on there own version (as in phone operating system).
iphone have a problem in that they have only a few phones (all theres). Android phones have the advantage that there is comentition and so lots, plus we have it on non phones. blackberry is not as cool as it was.
if facebook, does a phone that is cheap and easy to use it may do well.
BUT
its how they expect to make the cash. adverts would anoy me. i have just got a cheap android phone (love it). but some apps have adverts, and to be honest i do not use those apps as i have the tiny advert/banners.
what i am thinking they may do, is develop a cheap phone, but charge the operaters a fee (say 20p a month) for facebook use. the fee could be very small but if you sold the phone in huge nombers, that would be a big profit.
the thing is, i would suspect a facebook phone to ONLY have facebook use. i suspect it will not have icq or skype or such as it would be seen as competition. after all it said already its app store is for facebook conected things only.
