This is a discussion thread for the "Rumor: Facebook to Release a Smartphone" story posted on the front page.
I don't think that this is a good idea, I don't see what they could improve on what they already have with the Windows Phone 7 where Facebook is heavily integrated; like what more could they possibly do and they should just just integrate further to WP7; this is mentioned on WP Central and to be honest I agree with them especially after seeing this picture of what it could be like...

Facebook is a social networking site. They don't need to make hardware. When they make an operating system of their own and create a whole set of useful apps for daily use, then they can make a phone for themselves. I'm pretty sure this is just to integrate Facebook with someone else's phone (like mentioned in the article). Probably more of a PR stunt
