just for using facebook buy a another phone running with that Green Robot ? Why not install facebook app and use it on everyphone. or just add Facebook bookmark on N900's homescreen and whenever you want to enjoy facebook click on it and enjoy it and also you can enjoy full version of FB's website.

Only if it came with Maemo and with hardware quality as great as Nokia's! :cool:

God NO!

I find it terrible when phone companies place social networking services over the all other features of the handset (both in advertising and the ability to make calls in some cases). The last thing we need is another dumbphone manufacturer.

a facebook phone would only make sense if they offer something super compelling that the competition doesn't.

the only thing i can think of now is the brand name - facebook.
if they start cutting out android and ios from certain features (making themexclusive only to the facebook phone), they may get sued for being anti-competitive. :)

Not in the least. I don't have a FB account now, no way I'll ever have one in the near future, if ever.

Doesn't appeal to me at all.

They should add these special features to this phone :

1. Camera : separated cpu for autofocus , this is for the best focus on duck faces and muscles
2. Internet : permanent scanning location and sharing on facebook every 3 minutes
3. Hardware : these phones detect each other so people won't have problems with ex-partners and other people they don't want to see . The phone will simply show a notification about distance and location where non-wanted person is .
4. Security : If the phone it's stolen , when the thief changes the facebook account with his account , the phone will silently take a photo with front camera and post it on his wall with "I'm gay" text and his mobile number .

I can't wait those duck faces taking photos in mirror with their new facebook phone . :D

You could add a poll to your post. Would make giving our simple yes/no opinion easier.

Re: Would you purchase a facebook phone?
 
No, I would not purchase a Facebook phone.

I do not want an internet services vendor selling me a phone integrated with their services (If there are other services available to use, this usually ends up having the integration unfairly preferring their services)

I want to be able to obtain my device and device software from an entity with little to no bias and control over the software on-device.

side note: The above reasons also apply for my aversion of the Android operating system.

Anything that facilitates more uploading of duck faces and muscles to Facebook has got to be awesome! :p;)

Yeah good luck with that. Where do you go instead? Nokia push their services on their devices, apple push their services on thier devices, MS push their services on their devices, what phone doesn't?

I still dont understand why anyone is on Facebook. I guess people dont have enough going on in their regular life and have to post their stuff on facebook to find friends? I just dont get it.

I know it sounds pedantic...

But shouldn't you be touting Lumia's amazing Facebook capabilities? Not only is there official support for a stand-alone app, Windows Phone 7 actually has facebook integration baked into the OS.

Contacts, their details and pictures are all updated seamlessly and organized in a beautiful, easily readable interface so that you are always connected to those who are important to you, no matter where you are.

Lumia phones are for people who absolutely love facebook! You are confusing me...

indeed he owns less Maemo/MeeGo than you but he loves them very much. He's not like you complaining every time about them. and also he's here to get help, new mods/apps and to help others not like you to just troll.

Re: Would you purchase a facebook phone?
 
Oh really, he is so blindly in love that he cant see what is wrong with them. I love them too, but rationally, and would love to see them be more competitive. Hence my criticisms.
