Popular social network, Facebook has decided to come up with its own smartphone before next year . Many phones come with a dedicated Facebook button while many more come with a deep Facebook integration but a smartphone from the company itself is yet to be seen and is highly anticipated.

We heard of similar projects last year but they were thrown into trash. and now as the rumours quote The project is back again and the Company has again partnered with HTC to make the Phone. We saw the two phones from HTC Chacha and Salsa with deep Facebook integration and Dedicated Facebook button but they were not quite popular among the users.
As we heard the company has hired former engineers form Apple to do this project .and as HTC is involved we might see an Android phone

The future will tell about the trueness of the rumour but we assume we might likely see a phone from Facebook.Bookmark us to stay tuned..
