Buskirk Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Rumor has it that a Facebook phone may or may not be under development. It would feature always-on GSP, cloud-stored images, a mass inbox and a location-aware coupon service (see link for more). It reminds me of the MSN phone that recently came out in China. What do you guys think of a potential Facebook phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmakaze Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Facebook isn't that type of a company. It wants integration. Not necessarily to control an entire phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEMAN Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Facebook isn't that type of a company No, I think the company you are thinking of made a Kindle type reader, or book substitute, or something. - I prefer paperbacks or hardbacks anyway. What do you guys think of a potential Facebook phone? I contacted British Telecom and they had never heard of it. If they are not supporting it I doubt whether I would buy it.The one I have got here at the moment is called Geemarc. I bought it at Argos. It has been working very well and has a speakerphone.Unfortunately the microphone is not situated in the best of places and I may try to fit some jack sockets to extend it out.With the amount and choice of phones out there at the moment (U.K. at least) I think a no-name brand like "Facebook" is going to find it hard going to push this one out even if they ride on the name of a social media site. I would have thought a website like that would have a copyright on the name anyway.Sounds like a non-starter to me. :( John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furry Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 It’s just a rumor yeah? I guess it would make sense for FB to invest in this, but with the rapid development of the Droids & iPhone, I’m not sure why anyone would want to have a Facebook-focused phone.

andsome Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 My phone is great for phone calls and text messages. Phones that substitutes for toys are for kids. I will pass thanks.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEMAN Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Calling a phone "Facebook" wont work !Everyone will think it is something to do with the social networking site also called "Facebook", as I have already pointed out in my previous post.Far better if they made it in the shape of a jelly and called it a "Jellyphone" or something along those lines, if you get my drift.John.

Crandle Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I know a lot of ppl are on FB the whole time, but being on FB the WHOLE time…? People who need that don’t even need to be out of the house -___-“ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
