Thanks to an anonymous source, we are lead to believe that the project for a Facebook branded handset is still underway, even though the announcement of the rumored device seems to have been delayed...

By mid-2013, we might already have Android Nutella on the horizon :)

Well the longer it takes to get to the market... the better for the marker it will be....If you get what I'm getting at....We don't need gimmiky phones..

How about Sony make a facebook phone... sony phones always have facebook integrated.

Hopefully the OS will be WP because Facebook integration on WP is flawless.

I can't imagine much of a demand for a phone like this.

i hope of seeing a windows phone that is heavily customize!!

if its an android phone..it might be dub as "just another android"

if its WP people will be shock that microsoft make something that is different..

btw why htc?

random thought, i thought nokia will skin WP too to make them look different from the other WP?

I just don't understand why companies insist on manufacturing a Facebook phone #fail...

10. Schuler2828 posted on 25 Jul 2012, 23:39

Me neither I mean all phones can get the Facebook app...But then again it's marketing Facebook is known by everyone they see a Facebook phone there like whoa cool, it's for people that aren't into technology as much as us and don't care about performance or any of that just the name, Like the iPhone.

Your absolutely right tho, maybe if they market the correct target audience it can be a success... But, as for me, i'll stick with high-end technology...

14. Schuler2828 posted on 26 Jul 2012, 00:58

Agreed

The Facebook phone should be called the HTC Drama.

15. lubba posted on 26 Jul 2012, 01:39 3

...or the HTC suckerberg.

HTC Like. HTC Social.

Facebook phone: too little too late by the time that gets launched

18. jtech posted on 26 Jul 2012, 02:55 1

What about a Myspace phone?

19. Mxyzptlk posted on 26 Jul 2012, 03:05

No one uses Myspace.

20. Jay_F posted on 26 Jul 2012, 12:45 1

Most likely why his comment was sarcastic.

21. quakan posted on 27 Jul 2012, 00:59

Yeah he didn't get it. Facebook is the new Myspace, but obviously Mxyzptlk didn't get the memo.

Good grief. A FB phone? It's enough that FB takes over some people's desk/laptops, but now their phones, too? I'm happy with a very basic phone, but I'm looking at another basic smartphone: How is the Nokia Lumia 900? I want it with AT&T 4G LTE; is it fast enough? I'm in the beauty industry (ATL) but don't overuse a phone.
