Mumbai: Mark Zuckerberg's statement about Facebook not requiring a handset of its own, and relying on better integrating its software with other manufacturers instead gave the impression that a Facebook handset was not coming into being. A report by Pocket-Lint now states that a very reliable source has informed it that a handset called the HTC Opera UL is in the works, which will be the first Facebook phone.
A NenaMark2 benchmark of the HTC Opera UL has been leaked and some of its specifications had been revealed. The report by Pocket-Lint claims that a reliable source has informed it that the handset will be an OEM product for Facebook. The source claims, "It is the Facebook phone, made for Facebook".
The website notes that the source has informed it that the handset has been delayed. It appears that it is only a matter of time before the Facebook smartphone manufactured by HTC materialises. If Facebook does launch an HTC-branded handset, it will be a big boost for HTC, as it has fallen behind other smartphone manufacturers in recent times.
