It looks like Facebook is preparing to broaden its scope of coverage once again and mobile phones are their next target.

In a statement released by Facebook officials, the company is currently looking for partnerships with mobile phone manufacturers and wireless service providers in order to get closer to its users by bringing more of its social networking services to mobile devices.

Devices such as the BlackBerry and Apple’s iPhone already provide users with the possibility to post updates and send messages on the popular social network’s Web site.

Still, Facebook is looking to take it further and allow its users to do many more actions, such as the feature of merging one’s phone contact list with the list of Facebook friends. The long term plan is to bring as many features to mobile devices as possible.
