According to TechCrunch's Michael Arrington's sources, Facebook is creating its own cellphone. As the story goes, they're building the OS, and have tasked a hardware manufacturer to build everything else. Anyone else think this sounds like a Facebook-flavored Peek?
Scared by Google's impending Nexus One (which was announced back in January of this year), Facebook supposedly began planning their phone. Something that would integrate Facebook contacts more deeply than anything Android or any other platforms had done before.
Arrington scribed on a blog post this morning that two Facebook employees, Joe Hewitt and Matthew Papakipos are leading the charge on the OS, using their previous careers as Firefox browser creator and Chrome OS builder (respectively) to launch something Facebook can be proud of. Whether the rest of the world would be proud carrying a Facebook phone is another matter entirely—though I don't have any doubts that this would be a very affordable phone aimed at the young 'uns, if it does amount to something other than speculation.

I think I'm one of the only people to not jump on the FaceBook bandwagon OR the smartphone bandwagon. This is the best of both worlds, both of which are entirely unnecessary.
Like the iPad, though, I'm sure if it's made, it'll sell like hotcakes.
ditto^^
i'm also not interested in that phone.

What's the point? Facebook should stick to social networking

Man, facebook don't wanna produce a phone to give you a good service! Facebook just wants to mine your for data. Creeps. Why would I ever by a phone from them?
I hope this phone sucks
:/ allow it.
gei...
I don't think i'd touch facebook with a 20 foot pole unless that cow website was giving out more free stuff.
interesting idea my sister would want it
wow facebook will have its own phone, crazy
I'd rather keep my facebooking on the computer. Taking it mobile is kind of pushing it a little. Making a Twitter phone I can understand, but Facebook I don't agree with.
Cool
mmm i dont like it :/

Thank you so much for the feedback on my blog! I'm glad you enjoy it! Help spread the word about my blog so I can get some band interviews going!
Great that's just what we need
Smartphones are being made by everyone now.. what gives?
This just reminds me of those T.V.s they have that update Facebook now.
Isn't the mobile OS market already already abit crowded with good offerings? Facebook must think their name will sell the phone or something.
Wow a fb phone, for when your sick and tired of privacy! did anyone hear about the guy who was robbing people based on where their fb said they were?

I just looked at your followers....whoa. Also this facebook phone thing I think is gonna flop. Just like the Google phone thing. Sure it was cool when it came out but, what of it now. Anyways, love your blog bro, really.
Much love and a lil currency support going your way
really cool
the end of the age of hard work and the beginning of the age of procrastination. this phone.
Really? Yeah, i wouldn't get it.
Facebook is watching you.

Sounds like a weak idea tbh,

Very interesting, I wonder if it will do well, facebook is baller enough already as it is
