INQ Cloud Touch aka the Facebook Phone Shows Up On Video -- INQ Clouq Q Pictured

Coming from TechCrunch is word on the photo above and video below being the INQ Cloud Touch aka the Facebook Phone. Of course, this handset isn't actually going to be Facebook-branded and it's running the Android OS. However, this phone does use Facebook's API for deep integration so it may be good for teens. This handset may be the INQ Cloud Touch but the channel manager, Andrew Bennet, has mentioned that there's a model with a QWERTY keyboard, dubbed the INQ Cloud Q. Check out the video below if your teens need a new phone so they can Facebook Chat their buddies.

Update: Pocket-Lint has picked up a few more photos of the INQ Cloud Touch (above) and another Pocket-Lint post got a few photos of the INQ Cloud Q handset (below). They've mentioned that you'll see both of these Facebook Android phones at MWC.

Bluetooth SIG Filing For INQ Cloud Touch Says It Could Be the Facebook Phone

Thanks to a Bluetooth SIG filing, the Facebook phone may actually be real and coming from INQ just like it was rumoured. Apparently, this handset, dubbed the INQ Cloud Touch, will be running on the Android platform and will have "Facebook build into its core". If that doesn't mean a Facebook phone then I don't know what that means. Specs are unknown right now, but it's coming from INQ so I'm going to assume that it'll be a mid-end and cheap device.
