I would like to see a "powered by windows" Facebook phone. Only if M$ would allow Facebook to skin and customize as they see fit. Windows as a mobile platform has a lot of features and amazing stability that could be built upon. I just wouldn't want it to be a windows phone featuring Facebook. We already have a mango flavored version of that.

Skin and it looks like android, ugly, messy, cluttered.

Luckily, Android is fully customizable, so you can change it if you find it too ugly, messy, or cluttered. If you don't like the look of WP or iOS, the only option is to buy a new phone.

As someone who has had 4 or 5 Android phones (can't remember all) and have moved 3 members or my family to Android, I must say this is a good thing. I just started using WP7 and will try to move all if not all of my family members to Windows Phone 7. I just can't get enought, well.. it needs more apps and I hate it that a few paid apps and music that i bought will now be gone. BUT then, the same thing happened when I switched from IOS to Android. So, yeah, a Facebook Phone, Tablet or whatever with Windows 7 or 8 would make more sense.

If there's gonna be a Facebook phone, perish the thought, then I think a Windows Phone would suit it much better. The people that would buy that type of device aren't phone enthusiasts, and therefore would need a simpler device without lag. WP fits the bill better than Android. Plus, WP is all uniform. All phones would have all the same features. In Android, some phones would be capable of certain things while others are not. That's not an ideal situation for a FB phone.

Oh snap, double post.
Anyway, I'd guess the Facebook phone would change the default Metro tiles into Facebook icons instead, but pretty much keep the functionality of the LiveTiles. That and pretty much redesign the wole UI into something Facebook colorish and smaller fonts.
But a lot of functionality from Windows Phone will probably be kept, because to be honest - Windows Phone have the best quick-sharing options of any platform out there. So why slow it down by changing it? :-) So the phone will still be "powered by Windows Phone", although re-designed quite a bit.

What's the point of having a Facebook phone? It would make more sense to have a Twitter phone.. But the idea of Windows making the FB phone could succeed.. Definitely not gonna work out if it was Android.. Android has too many things going on already.. Apple would be too exclusive.. BlackBerry is too secure.. Oh well, going back to my point, it would be a non sense to have a phone dedicated for Facebook when in fact the FB app works so well already like it's already part of the phone.. Imagine posting stuff and it says "via Facebook for Facebook".. Spell redundant..

Are you serious bro? Look at what HTC did with FB phone and it failed. it's so damn small and ugly looking. Microsoft needs to think again.
