OlafSicky it says.

I am not going to hate though, I can see the appeal of a Facebook phone. If they make it REALLY easy and target the "I like Facebook and I like being connected but even an iPhone is hard for me crowd" they will have a large following.

The crowd of people who are in love with Facebook so much to get a Facebook phone is also the same crowd that makes games the most profitable section of the App Store. And Android doesn't have that many games in comparison.

The "iPhone is hard for me" crowd (e.g., seniors) likely doesn't care about Facebook and isn't connected to social media or even email/internet in most instances. They don't exist in enough numbers to matter for a Facebook phone.
