3 Australia To Launch Facebook Phone next week
From the Washington Post:
The ultimate goal for these cheaper 3G smartphones is to drive more consumers to use mobile data, or a INQ Mobile CEO Frank Meehan told Unstrung, “You need to drive data usage higher right across all the handset segments. You want the majority of customers, not the top-end of the community that rules strategy at the moment.”
Three already try to drive more data usage through promotion of Facebook Mobile on their website.
INQ’s client-based Facebook app will always be on in the background, which means owners of the phone will get instant notice when friends update their profile, or as Meehan says, Facebook becomes like SMS.
This is what it looks like (nice wallpaper, dudes):
