INQ Mini 3G: A New Budget Mobile Phone    by Simon Drew

INQ has just released a brand new budget mobile phone into the mobile market, the INQ Mini 3G. Although they have already had success with INQ1, the people in INQ decided to release a mobile phone that is quite likely to be far cheaper and far more successful.

The Design

The design of the INQ Mini 3G of course leave a lot to want for but that is not the goal of this mobile phone. It is not aiming to compete in the same level as the Iphone or the Blackberry; it is on its own level and that is basically the reason for its eventual success.

The look of the mobile phone is pretty straightforward; it looks like a regular mobile phone rather than s smart phone. It is pretty slim and slips nicely into the pocket without making your jeans bulk up. It also does not have a heavy or weighty feel to it. Then again, it is not suppose to be as heavy as either the Iphone or the Blackberry, it is just basically suppose to be a mobile phone that does a lot of things those two mobile phones do, and do it well.

The INQ Mini 3G also offers some interchangeable covers which adds to the fun and also brings back the ability to personalize the outer casing of the mobile phone, previously seen in those old but phone mobile phones of Nokia. Its keypad is also a throwback to the old mobile phones, feeling a little smaller than its predecessor but still manageable and fairly easy to press.

Other Features

It also has a Mini USB port for power but it might have been more practical to stick a microUSB port in as well but it is at least a breadth of fresh air that INQ is not using a proprietary charger.

The INQ Mini 3G also has a very similar interface that was seen in INQ1 (it also has the scrolling carousel that provides access to the vast array of applications being offered). Although this New Mobile Phone’s operating system was similar, it is also an improvement on its predecessor’s OS since starting and running applications, which used to be quite sluggish, now is quite fast and had a certain zip to it.

It also has a real-time Twitter feature (which is quite promising), as well as provides an opportunity to use Facebook and Skype until you are sick and tired of it. It also has a camera that adds to the experience.

The Verdict

It may appear that this mobile phone is a phone from the past that just so happened to contain a few features that today’s mobile phones have. The main problem users have with this mobile phone is the fact that people nowadays focus their efforts and attention on those that have something magical and mystical to offer (something that no other mobile phone provides).

If you are one of those people, then the INQ Mini 3G will surely disappoint you. It is not that type of mobile phone; it is low budget mobile phone that gives you some of the functionality of today’s Smartphone and for some people, this is exactly what they are looking for.
