One-third of people 'would upgrade' to a Facebook phone - is Zuckerberg's latest project a serious rival to iPhone?


One-third of phone users would definitely upgrade to a Facebook phone  - and 73% think the phone is a ‘good idea’.
News of the phone emerged, with sources claiming that Facebook had hired ex-Apple engineers to work on an ‘official’ Facebook phone.


 


 It’s not the first Facebook phone to hit the market – the social network giant has previously partnered with INQ and HTC to produce Facebook-oriented handsets, including phones with a  built-in ‘Like’ button.

It could be a major hit – a flash poll of 968 people conducted by MyVoucherCodes found that 32% of phone users would upgrade as soon as it became available.
The key to its success could be porting apps to mobile – something Facebook is already doing. Separate camera and chat apps already separate off some site functions, and third-party apps will shortly be available via  a Facebook app store.
Of those polled, 57% hoped that it would be cheaper than an iPhone – presumably supported by Facebook’s advertising.
