Vodafone has plans to launch its Facebook phone in India this August. The device is named 555 Blue. Vodafone has already launched the phone in the UK.
According to a report by The Mobile Indian, a spokesperson of Vodafone confirmed that the telco is all set to launch 555 Blue in India. He did not divulge any details about the launch date and price of the phone.
It will have a locked SIM. It will be a prepaid phone, which is obviously targeted at prepaid users. 555 Blue promises to offer a customised Facebook experience to people who love social networking and messaging.

The phone is not 3G enabled and will instead use Edge network. It is worth mentioning here that Edge enjoys far greater coverage than 3G does. The new offering from Vodafone will sport a 6.1-cm (2.4-inch) display and a Qwerty keyboard, which has been designed to make it easy to chat, e-mail and send texts using the device.
555 Blue has a 2-megapixel camera with instant upload capability, a microSD slot, and a music player with FM radio.
A dedicated Facebook 'F' button is yet another striking feature of the phone. This button is customisable in terms of assigning tasks. Users can instantly post a status update with photos or with links from the browser. Automatic Facebook updates every 20 minutes is also a special feature of 555 Blue, although this can be customised.
It is worth mentioning here that HTC had launched the HTC ChaCha and Salsa smartphones for Facebook users. So Vodafone already has a competition.
