Half of people would 'never' switch to 'Facebook phone'

London, July 30 (ANI): Half of people would not buy a phone produced by the social networking giant Facebook, a study has revealed.

The survey conducted by Greenlight, a UK-based digital marketing agency, revealed that 50 per cent of those questioned said they would 'never' switch to a Facebook phone.

The survey, which covered five hundred people around the world, also showed that if mobile users had to be persuaded to do so, improved functionality would be the top reason for switching, followed by price and then design, the Telegraph reports.

According to several reports, Facebook is working with manufacturer HTC to produce its own mobile phone.

Facebook, which urgently needs to find a way to make money from its growing number of mobile phone visitors, has already hired former Apple employees who are believed to be working on the new project. (ANI)
