brace yourselves, another flop facebook phone is coming
if facebook really wants their phone to do well, they should introduce a high end phone.
"We sold a bunch more when we lowered the price, (to $0.99)"
Ahh, the ol, "we're losing money on em, but we're making it up in volume" approach.
...
Two years after the failure of the ROKR, which was Apple's first foray into the phone market, the iPhone was released. Vega is confident that Facebook may have a similar experience and told CNET that AT&T is committed to continuing to work with the company.

In my opinion Apple should release an iTunes app for Windows and Android phones.GACK! I remember the ROKR. I almost bought one, until I discovered it blew huge chunks. It had a VERY low storage area. Like what, 40 songs or something.
The iPhone is far better. I wonder how Motorola hobbled the ROKR and why Apple let them... I'll bet that is a story worth telling, that likely won't be...
"We sold a bunch more when we lowered the price,"
Why don't Americans understand that a 'free' phone is paid for by the monthly contract they signed?
In the rest of the world it's easy to get phones unbundled from contracts - and also, contracts are available with different monthly costs so you can choose the balance of paying up front vs more per month.
*sigh*
I for one loved my ROKR. Though of course moved right on to the 1st iphone when it was released

There are plenty of people out there who don't want an iPhone but want to be able to download their songs straight from iTunes to their phone. iTunes is one of the biggest digital media companies around, if not the biggest. They blow Google play out of the water and if the rumours about Apple tying up exclusive content deals are true then more people will want access to iTunes. If Apple did this I think they would pretty much put to bed any of competition they have or at least make their position insurmountable.
According to AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega, though the HTC First failed to catch on, it wasn't an entirely negative experience for the company. "We sold a bunch more when we lowered the price," he told CNET in an interview on Monday.
Still holding out for the MySpace phone.
