Initially, Facebook phone should have cost nothing. Sources close to the company who worked on the phone told BusinessInsider that Facebook executives wanted to make a phone with its technological resources and then provide those phones for free to the social network users.
Facebook hoped that money will come from ads running on these phones. But when they discovered that each phone would produce costs of $700 to the company, they changed their mind.
For this reason Facebook has given up the idea to offer the phone for free.
According to quoted sources, the first phone that will come from Facebook will be launched in April, which is produced by HTC. Also, Facebook is preparing a second phone that will be launched in the next 12-18 months, which is probably produced by Samsung.

Facebook phone will be launched in...
Buffy appears earlier and will be followed by a second Facebook phone model.
After numerous attempts to penetrate the mobile market, Facebook made a deal with the Taiwanese from HTC to launch the first cell under the tutelage giant in Palo Alto, adapted to the needs of social network users. If a few days ago sources close to Facebook reported that the gadget name is Buffy and will appear in no more than 12-18 months, recent disclosures made to Business Insider launches in April 2012, earlier than previously believed.
The same source informs that the term of 12-18 months was expected for the launch of Buffy's successor, the second Facebook phone, which will be most likely designed in collaboration with Koreans from Samsung. It seems that it will hit the market at the end of 2012 or no later than early 2013. Attempts to create a Facebook mobile phone have suffered from developers such as LG or Motorola, but Google was the one that resulted in the project through his famous "Android". The latter is the main rival to Apple's iPhone, faithfully to the Twitter social network.
However, few are giving a vote of confidence to the Facebook phone. According to company sources, even those involved in the project are not too optimistic and not hopes not to break sales on the gadget market.
