Hi All, 

Can somebody please explain the why anybody might build, or for that matter buy, a Facebook Phone? 

Yeah, I know these rumours have been around for years. 

It will no doubt be build by a real hardware maker such as HTC, Samsung etc making it a really a Facebook branded phone. This would be similar to the Nexus phones by Google, which are all good, except that Google is reasonably a synonym for Android. 

Anybody see what advantages a Facebook phone would have over a Facebook app on a phone made by ... anybody else?
