Facebook Phone Idea Dead

The long standing rumor of a phone from Facebook has been shot down by CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Facebook may however make a phone manufacturer or carrier part of their new "Deals" program which starts today. The "Deals" program already includes The Gap, McDonalds, Starbucks, and others. If that was me, and I was a phone company, I would get this deal done. Facebook just surpassed 200 million members.
