Because Facebook will update their API's, Nokia will be slow (again) to update their apps that talk to Facebook.
Happened with Yahoo, MSN, looking like it'll happen with Skype, Twitter very soon.

Because Facebook is useless and Nokia wants poeple to meet face to face.

So my guess is symbian/harmattan will have good support for Faceshit and Skype and not so good for google+/GTalk in the longer run..
Thats one of the reason I push my friends from fb and to Google+ instead

Who says it's going to be marketed to Linux geeks? oO Obviously not.
Social networking is one thing, but it would be silly to reduce the N9 to this (or any other single feature really). It has also become the "hip" thing to offer on a phone, so it's hardly a way to stand out. Don't they have phones with dedicated Facebook buttons even?!

The N9 is probably as close to a "facebook phone" as you're going to get:
- dedicated screen for social network
- deep integrated with chat, contacts, skype
- one day support plugin facebook apps??
e.g.
I think we can all agree that the N9 deserves it's own marketing push, but riding the Facebook bandwagon wouldn't be it imo.

Just call N9 the Jesus phone. All the right wing fanatics will buy it!

Clueless consumers would eat it all up, most of this demographic seem to only care about checking/posting facebook on their "smartphones"
Sure;y they'll sell more this way than trying to market it to linux geeks?
