Facebook and Snaptu joins together to create the "Facebook App for feature phones" it means for low-end phones. Facebook have already signed up with 14 mobile operators in the world to test the app and to give a 90-day trial for free to users. The app is expected to be used by people who have Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and LG handsets.
"Till date, the mobile Facebook users were reportedly faced with two main concerns namely, price and limited services. The reason being that the former Facebook mobile site: www.m.facebook.com is a stripped down low cost version, with limited service accessibility. Thus it is evident, the Facebook Zero initiative is here to address the affordability issue, while the new Facebook app is intended to overcome the limited services hurdle. Going by the popularity of Facebook app on the smartphones, this new app should trigger huge growth to the Facebook community by encouraging low-end feature phone users to join the bandwagon." - ThinkDigit
