INQ Chat 3G & INQ Mini 3G Social Mobiles – Twitter, Facebook, Skype & IM

INQ Mobile announced two new 3G Social Mobiles – INQ Chat 3G and INQ Mini 3G. Both the phones have Twitter, Facebook, Skype and Instant Messaging functionalities built-in. These INQ mobiles also offers free push Gmail and media sync with PC and Macs.

Recently, Aircel has partnered with INQ offering INQ CHAT 3G (priced at Rs 7,599) and INQ MINI (priced at Rs 5,399) in India.

INQ has developed an authentic Twitter application for both its new Social Mobiles. After the initial log in, Twitter will be ‘always on’. You can send tweets and retweet via the internet rather than using SMS.

The INQ Chat 3G is the company’s first qwerty-style phone. With the INQ Chat, a specially designed Twitter widget will deliver Twitter updates straight to the home screen.

The INQ Chat 3G has a new email client developed by INQ that incorporates free push Gmail. The INQ Chat 3G comes complete with the expanded suite of INQ applications; Facebook, Skype, email, IM and Twitter.

The INQ Mini 3G is a slimline Social Mobile that offers Twitter, Facebook, IM, Skype and web-based email services like Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail and GMail. Like the INQ Chat, the INQ Mini offers impressive capability at a fraction of the price of other application-rich devices.

The INQ Mini 3G and the INQ Chat 3G have plug and play HSDPA modems enabling high-speed wireless broadband on PCs and Macs. The INQ Chat 3G and INQ Mini 3G applications can be updated over the air – a unique feature essential to keep pace with how online applications change and consumer usage evolves.

INQ is also introducing seamless media syncing between its devices and PCs or Macs. The software, powered by doubleTwist, syncs music from iTunes and WMP straight to your INQ mobile and, unlike most other sync solutions, doesn’t require the customer to give up using their favourite media player on their computer. The new mobiles from INQ will also be able to sync video and photos.

INQ phones multi-task, so key applications like Facebook, Skype, IM and email are ‘always on’ and accessible with one click from the home screen; a log-in to any application is required only once.

An average of 65% of INQ users use Facebook regularly, 30% use their INQ frequently for email, and Windows Live Messenger activity is three to four times greater than on comparably priced 3G phones.

In February 2009, INQ1 won ‘handset of the year’ at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The INQ Chat 3G and INQ Mini 3G will be available in the last quarter of 2009.
