Facebook has been known to partner with Microsoft. It's possible that the phone will be full of Bing.
On the other hand, Microsoft is trying to promote their own phone OS, and this phone is clearly DOA if it doesn't run Android apps, but I can't see Microsoft liking the idea of promoting the Android ecosystem.
It's kind of funny actually. You could see how it could make sense for Microsoft and Facebook to work together and create some Facebook Phone running WP8, except they each probably think the other is going to fail and don't want to board a sinking ship.

Not very likely, given the fact that Windows Phone has yet to receive an official Facebook app. However, design wise the windows 8 tile architecture would be the perfectly suited for Facebook and Instagram. Its all about how you pull it off, but given how buggy and incomplete my Facebook app on Nexus 7 is, I hardly have any faith in FB.
On the side note, they should have partnered with Nokia instead of HTC.
