Growth of Facebook.... Mobile?

With over 220 million users, its hard to argue the Facebook phenomenon. Like many, I started using Facebook with a browser but have now primarily moved to my mobile device. With my iPhone, the Facebook UI is amazingly simple, contains zero advertising (I still can't believe this) and allows me to quickly stay up-to-date with my friends.

Facebook recently reported that 13% of user log-in from their mobile phones. While many brands would consider this a huge success, I actually see this as just the tip of the iceberg. As Facebook establishes relationships with more and more manufacturers (Nokia, Palm, etc.), mobile usage will rise at an even more rapid rate. And, with the Mobile World Congress kicking off in Barcelona next week, I am anxiously waiting to see what news will come out about new Facebook/mobile partnerships.

Anyone have any details?
