Rumours regarding the highly anticipated follow-up to the award-winning INQ1 mobile phone have finally been confirmed. Alongside the Mini 3G, INQ have announced the imminent Q4 release of the Chat 3G which has also been placed in the fledgling category of social mobiles. While some may be quick to count it out as merely nothing more than a Blackberry knockoff, there’s actually more to this device as it hopes to fit into the big shoes it has to fill.
Screening the Mobile
One of the best features of the INQ Chat 3G has to be its wide home screen which has the ability to display Twitter and Facebook updates without the use of a dedicated client. The real time updates are made possible by its impressive user interface which happens to be an upgraded version of the one found in the INQ1. Although we weren’t able to actually test out the device, we are right to have high hopes if we take the INQ1’s impressive performance into consideration.
The actual screen is also much bigger than the one present in the INQ1 – 2.4 inches and QVGA-type technology.
Other Notable Features
The INQ Chat 3G will also be equipped with a purely functional 3.2-Megapixel camera that is still able to produce average quality photos. Aside from direct integration to social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, the device will also have support for push Gmail. This goes well with the new QWERTY keyboard present on the Chat 3G – a first in the entire INQ family.
With all those features on board, it would be easy to say that the INQ Chat 3G truly has the potential to be a more affordable version of the Blackberry for those who have an eye for the famed Smartphone, but not the wallet.
