INQ1 Mobile Phone

I've been using the INQ1 phone for about a month now and in this review will be giving some first impressions on it. I'll return and update a bit more later. The INQ1 is billed as the 'Facebook phone', but that's not really why I bought it. I've been using Blackberry handsets for years and I was looking for a cheaper option on a different network after falling out with my existing network. I decided to take out a Three contract as their '3 Like Home' product matched well with my travel plans for the next 12 months. The Hardware ========== When I first saw the phone online I didn't think it looked anything special, when I went into a Three ...  Read the complete review

OK, so I've just been reading some of the reviews for this phone and I have to warn you this is going to be more of a basic layperson opinion on how I've found it so far rather than an in depth technical rundown! I got this phone about 6 months ago to replace.....wait for it... a nokia 3210 (pretty vintage I know). That gives you an idea of the technical expertise I was approaching the INQ1 with. I was looking for a phone where the keypad's covered when it's in my bag and the slider on this model seems pretty sturdy so far and although the phone's compact, the buttons are still large enough to be useable. I've found the internet quite easy to use but mainly ...  Read the complete review

Two months ago, my old contract was up and I was looking for a new phone. After several rubbish LG phones which packed in after less than 12 months each, I was determined to have more luck this time and find a phone that looked good, offered great functionality and was built to last. I scoured the internet for reviews and deals and came across the INQ1 phone which had been voted Mobile of the Year. I thought with that kind of accolade I couldn't go wrong and at £15 a month for unlimited texts and internet it looked like a bargain. I was expecting something to rival the I-phone (okay, I know at that price I couldn't expect apple technology) but I was sorely ...  Read the complete review

I have had this phone for the last 8 months and it has just started to go wrong. Unfortunately I am not allowed to upgrade for at least another year and I doubt it will last that long. I know two other people who had this phone and again, it went wrong within months. This includes freezing whilst writing messages, to no battery life, to just turning itself off for no reason! It is advertised as the Facebook phone because you can synch all your phone contacts with your facebook ones. This means that you can see their status updates and profile pictures as you scroll through your phone contacts. It also delivers Facebook messages to your phone inbox as well as ...  Read the complete review

When I first got the INQ I thought it was a great little phone, £15 a month plus an extra £5 for unlimited internet access, BARGAIN. It allowed me to use Facebook, MSN Messenger and many other applications whilst out and about. Once you sign in to Facebook and MSN the phone automatically adds all of your contacts from both to your phonebook, which can make it awkward when wanting to ring someone, but on the other hand is more convienient when it comes to keeping up to date with people. You can merge the contacts which does make it a bit easier. The camera on the phone is very poor quality as it has no flash so alot of pictures are so dark you can barely work out what ...  Read the complete review
