While analysts ridicule the idea of a Facebook smartphone, one Paris-based marketing expert predicts that a "FacePhone" will appear in 18 months -- and that the social networking giant will buy Nokia for $10 billion to make it happen.

So could BP, Blizzard, Intel, Coca-Cola and Ferrari. Doesn't mean they will, or would want to. They may ask Nokia to develop the phone, but it is INCREDIBLEY UNLIKELY they will buy the company just because they can.

Buying Nokia won't get the buyer out of the stupid harmful contract with Microsoft, so it is not worth it.
Facebook would have better chance if they would buy RIM, which is not doomed to slavery.
