"If you have had any doubts about the importance of Facebook, the news about its 500+ million subscribers should have changed your opinion."

I am sorry, but which IDIOT did write this? Just becosue they found 500million idiots to create account, does not mean its important. It points to other facts.

As of the phones. Probobly will run android. So they (in mine opinion) will have 1 more reason to not buy em.... Integrated something is good if you use em. but to buy phone which buggs you about something you do not need.... useless... :D

Useless or not facebook is making billions and many will buy the phone. Actually a lot of people make a productive use of facebook. Some even promote their business. The problem is there are so many people using it for time wasting that we tend to think that's what it's all about. I gotta admit I got a few annoying friends on facebook, but there's nothing wrong with promoting my business for FREE.

This is going to make people sway away from purchasing phones. They're doing too much. An Evo Facebook phone? So many people would like a regular Evo, but it being a Facebook phone will force a lot of consumers to pass on such a device. ( that was an example, I'm aware there isn't an Evo Facebook phone )

I agree with the above post. Just because I like chocolate and I like shrimp does not mean I want chocolate covered shrimp.

My android phone already does plenty with facebook. I think anymore features will simply just get annoying.

A facebook app is enough... no need for a facebook phone. ridiculous.

All platforms have Facebook apps. A dedicated device to run that app is pointless.

Then again, the only reason to wear Nike is to have shoes that say "Nike" on them.

550 million people may buy a phone because it has Facebook fashioned to its back battery cover. I know Apple's success is due to the same legacy.... their logo on the back. By most standards there is a better product out there...... but its an iPhone. Similarly now it will be: but its a Facebook.
