Rumors about the Facebook phone have been circulating for quite a while, but now more evidence comes out to show that there actually is a Facebook phone. Kind of. Actually, it seems the INQ Cloud Touch, marketed as a Facebook-centered handset, is more of a regular Android handset with a deeper Facebook integration, but nothing revolutionary coming from Facebook itself. Thisis the company's latest phone after it released the INQ Chat 3G, the Mini 3G and the INQ1.
The phone appeared on the Bluetooth Special Interest Group website with the following description:
“INQ Cloud Touch is an Android smartphone built to make messaging faster and smarter. It’s designed around the way people naturally communicate and has Facebook built into its core. The homescreen features multiple entry points to different Facebook functions, while a dynamic widget displays a feed of status updates, albums, videos and photos.”
The phone is expected to come with a physical keyboard and we will probably learn more details soon if the manufacturer sticks to its early 2011 launch date for the Cloud Touch in Europe. After the European roll-out, the phone will possibly appear on AT&T in the U.S.
