The Facebook phone has been designed specifically around the functionality of Facebook, and gives users direct access to their social networking circle at the touch of a button, making the act of poking your friends that much easier.
While the iPhone and the new Google G1 phone target professional users with costly handsets and sophisticated technology, the Facebook phone - whilst retaining email and web functionality has a much cheaper price and talk plan - will appeal to larger audience of younger users to whom the iPhone is prohibitively expensive.
The phone will also enable users to access Skype, MSN Messenger and some UK radio stations which should also increase its appeal.
