Omio.com is reporting that 3UK have picked the INQ Mini 3G for release – arriving early October.
As you might remember, the Mini 3G is one of a duo of devices that are following up the INQ1 – both are rocking some serious social networking connectivity, with more native apps than you can throw a bluetooth headset at!
The INQ Mini 3G is a slimline Social Mobile that offers Twitter, Facebook, IM, Skype and standard ‘IMAP’ email services like Hotmail. It brings the usability that INQ is known for to a new form factor. Like the INQ Chat, the INQ Mini 3G offers impressive capability at a fraction of the price of other application-rich devices.
- Active address book is presence-enabled showing live status from all your contacts, letting you chose how to contact them
- Built-in plug and play HSDPA modem to give your PC wireless broadband access
- 2.2” QVGA TFT landscape display
- 2.0 megapixel camera
- 100Mb user memory (expandable to 8GB)
- Brew 4.0 and Java MIDP 2.0 for application development multitasking supported by dedicated Switcher hard key
Both phones have plug and play HSDPA modems enabling high-speed wireless broadband on PCs and Macs.
So what do the tariffs look like? Well on contract you can get the device free on the £15/month Internet Texter plan, or even better, you can grab the device for a fairly amazing £59.99 on Prepay! Both contract and prepay deals get free Skype-to-Skype calls and free Windows Live Messenger access.
The Mini 3G also has changeable covers, which are obviously one of the most important features of a mobile phone – I know I won’t buy a device if I can’t swap the back panel at will … ahem …
