I agree with Jennifer’s opinion over this matter. Although facebook is has a very innovative image, making a smart phone may not be a very good direction, especially since they had already tried it and it did not work out very well. She asked the question “Would You Buy Facebook’s Phone,” and I have to say, at this point, I would not.

Other than the lack of privacy matters, more importantly Facebook is not known for making smart phones; however there are other established companies that are solely known because of their smart phones. If Facebook does decide to really go into this field once more, it will take a significant amount of time and investment before customers start trusting their products.

Also, they risk, that by going into this area of expertise, they might face an identity crisis since they are going into something completely out of their niche.
