Facebook Phone Finally Revealed?

Recently I read an article on mashable.com in social media section and it looks like Facebook is getting ready to showcase their new "Facebook Phone". The unveiling will take place in Android-centric event, Menlo Park,Ca on Thursday, and although there aren't too many details, the speculations and anticipation is great.

According to Android Police, pictures of the new software have been leaked and  they show many, rather interesting changes to the HTC powered Facebook Phone's operating system.

We can see that so called "Facebook Home" replaced original Android homescreen. The screenshot of the OS was taken while the OS was running on HTC Sense 4.5, and not the actual upcoming phone itself. The specifications of "Facebook Phone" are actually known. It will be ran by HTC, on a platform called Myst. The Myst will have 1GB of RAM, a dual-core processor, 5 megapixel camera and 4.3 inch 720p display.

The only question is, is this an April Fool's joke or is this a real deal? I guess we'll find out on Thursday.
