What if?
1. Every time someone called me on my phone I get all their details, some specific reminders of their recent interests, likes and dislikes and what they are thinking.
2. I get their photo, recent images and where they had recently been on vacation, so my conversations are more engaging.
3. I dont have to pay for Text messaging (SMS) fees to chat with them and instead use the phone’s messaging function and only pay for data (not voice).
P.S. I am still trying to figure out why so many folks like voice calls instead of text messages or email.
4. I can only share my photos with my existing friends and family (automatically), with no need to manually upload, sync, tag etc.
5. I only get calls from pre-selected folks in my friend list (who I have authorized) or from companies I have confirmed a liking or intention to work with. Others need to send me a “message” so I can add them to my list if desired.
That’s something I’d pick over a “regular” android or iPhone.
That’s possibly the facebook mobile phone.
I believe, (if it comes), facebook wont focus on a hardware device. Just a software OS (fBOS sounds good) that is manufactured by HTC, Samsung, Nokia and others.
All of the above functionality is available on any Android phones. You can syndicate all of yours LInkedIn + FB + GMAIL + Yahoo + Exchange +… accounts together. I am using this functionality for the last year+ on my Android and before – on my Palm phone.
