Facebook announced their "phone" Thursday and it turns out the much-anticipated product was more of a psuedo-operating system called "Home."
Mark Zuckerberg presented to the world the result of years of prototypes and trial periods (we assume). So, what was on the drafting table pre-Home?
Dartanion London has the scoop -- it's the first "leaked" promo of what he says was originally called the "FacePhone" or the "PhoneBook." Features of this parody phone included filtered messages to only show sponsored texts, a constantly changing keypad so you were never sure of how to dial, and absolutely free calling (only if the other person also had a Facebook phone).
Sounds pretty spectacular right? Must be, since it was worked on by the same guy who invented the Myspace pager.
But we guess Zuck didn't love this version, so he axed it to go with "Chat Heads." (Yes, seriously, we couldn't even make that one up).
