Smart phones like Facebook. And Facebook likes smart phones. That is why the appearance this year of a first batch of phones specially focused to integrate with the popular social network created by Mark Zuckerberg is not surprising .
This Vodafone 555 is good proof of this. It is a mobile phone developed by the operator of British origin, which bears more than a reasonable resemblance to another terminal, the HTC ChaChaCha, which was precisely inaugurated by the Facebook Phones family.
And not only for the fact of being a mobile focused on the constant and immediate connection with our profile on Facebook, but also for a really similar format. Of course, in the case of the Vodafone 555, which can already be obtained from today for about 100 euros, at the current exchange rate (beware, at the moment it is only available in the United Kingdom), the benefits are not as solvent as in the phone of the Taiwanese HTC.
To begin with, the Vodafone 555 is not an Android mobile. The operating system that equips this terminal is designed so that a layer of Facebook itself serves as the control interface of the mobile functions. Thanks to this, the integration of the contents of the phone with our profile on the social network is perfect.
In addition, the Vodafone 555 screen, with dimensions of 2.4 inches, is not tactile, so you will have to manage the menu with a small central trackball and the terminal keyboard, which is QWERTY (emulating a design very similar to the of the aforementioned HTC ChaChaCha).
We are not facing a particularly powerful mobile. Its processor has a management speed of 200 MHz, which seems more than enough for the functions of the Vodafone 555, since it lacks a 3G connection, as well as Wi-Fi, which will have to be content with the data network GRPS to upload and download information.
