Facebook has invited members of the press to an Android-related event on April 4, and TechCrunch reports that the event will likely see the debut of the long-rumored Facebook phone. Techcrunch also reports that the phone would be an HTC handset running a Facebook-modified version of Android.

Facebook phone rumors are around for a couple of years already, Bloomberg reported in 2010 that the phone would be based on a “stripped-down” version of Android and last year the New York Times reported that Facebook was hiring former Apple iPhone engineers to work on a “Facebook phone.”
