While analysts ridicule the idea of a Facebook smartphone, one Paris-based marketing expert predicts that a "FacePhone" will appear in 18 months -- and that the social networking giant will buy Nokia for $10 billion to make it happen.

Buying Nokia won't get the buyer out of the stupid harmful contract with Microsoft, so it is not worth it.
Facebook would have better chance if they would buy RIM, which is not doomed to slavery.
