FB has the most complete contact list for a lot of people. It would be pretty cool if my phonebook ran off this and auto updates itself when people change their numbers.
- cletus 16y agoIt would. I currently use my Gmail contacts for this. Android integration is excellent. iPhone integration is decent. To borrow a term I heard from Mark Suster though, it's a FNAC (feature, not a company). Think about the supply chain, inventory management, retail distribution, OS development and so on that would need to go into this. I simply don't believe the business case for an FB phone exists. What's more, I don't believe FB believes it is either.
- markfenton 16y agoThe blackberry facebook app attempts this, but it's not actually that useful. Variations in spellings of names confuse it, the 'type' of number (work, mobile etc.) can cause duplicates and a lot of my friends no longer store any useful contact details on facebook due to privacy concerns. Some of these might be implementation issues, but I still don't think that even working perfectly it would be a killer feature for a phone.
- zyb09 16y agoAndroid phones with HTC Sense UI do this. It's pretty cool, it pulls a bunch of data (E-Mail address, birthday, last status message) and integrates them into your contacts. They also pull the profile image from Facebook and it's displayed when you get called.
