As expected, Preparing for the back-to-school rush, Telus has announced the INQ Chat 3G. This is a BREW-based handset that has already made the rounds in the UK, and is finally working its way over to North America. Its seemingly singular function is to get connected with online social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Windows Live…
Telus is testing the INQ Chat 3G, the BREW phone out of the UK with heavy social networking angle. By and large, it’s a dumbphone with well-tailored preloaded software, but my contact said he hates the thing.

We don’t usually cover apps for Qualcomm’s Brew platform, so I decided to give one such app some space on IntoMobile. The name of the app is RemoMail and it’s an email client for those devices that don’t come with one such application pre-installed out of box. The app is made both for handset makers…

The Symbian smartphone platform sends 2.7 times the number of mobile advertising clicks as the iPhone OS! No other OS even comes close to the mobile ad click-through…
Don’t you just love HTC? At least when it comes to their own-branded handsets which are not sold through carrier partners, they are updated on a regular basis — carrier branded models are not as frequently updated, unfortunately. The HD2 is probably the most impressive example as it has been updated for quite a few…
HTC Smart, which is the Taiwanese company’s first feature phone, has been launched in India by Bharti Airtel. The all-touchscreen phone gets its smarts from Qualcomm’s mass-market Brew platform, while keeping HTC’s famous Sense UI — though Brew is not the full-fledged mobile OS.
