Yep your right there Sean mate, its bad enough with the Facebook app running constantly draining the battery let alone a Facebook book phone, or to be exact a phone running a Facebook launcher.
I wonder how many ads will automatically get pushed through on this new phone.

Oh dear,well all phones can access Face Book weather it's via an app or integrated. I think with this phone having it so integrated i guess security could be worse. Or maybe i just have no idea what i am on about

I tried to use it on my GS4, the app then spewed out a message saying it wasn't compatible with my device yet, so I deleted it.
Awful news for FB and HTC:
No Home for Facebook at AT&T: HTC First to be discontinued
http://bgr.com/2013/05/13/htc[....]scontinued-att-facebook-phone/
That has to be one of the quickest discontinuations of a device I've ever seen since the Microsoft KIN devices. WOW
