For a large set of users, iOS/Android are just devices that allow them to use Facebook away from the PC. Easy to see how calling, messaging, photos and games could integrate seamlessly with Facebook. 5.) Perhaps a bit more expensive, or they can just do what device manufacturers do now and market different versions for different regions.

People are used to paying for their phone. If it wasnt for the telcos, this idea might have some traction.
