May be you've never heard of this cellphone before, the INQ1. Sounds cryptic? You bet. But this device wins The Best Mobile Handset title of the Best Global Mobile Awards 2009. Surprisingly INQ1 could beat the charismatic Nokia E71 and high-tech TMobile G1.
INQ1 is a social networking oriented cellphone. It is marketed in UK only, and with contract exclusively on 3 network. The handset specs as follow :
Clearly the spec list does show INQ1 as a good all rounder device, although it does not have special super feature, like 5 MP Camera, Qwerty, huge memory, etc. Compared to Nokia N71 who has full email synchronization ability, fast processor, and full Qwerty keyboard, feature wise INQ1 is inferior. Moreover, when we compared INQ1 to TMobile G1, then INQ1 is way below.
But INQ1 is a success story because of its usability, that enable users to interact with Facebook and IM, and put this interaction into some usable and friendly interface.
INQ1 is geared for Facebook and IM, and seamlessly integrate Facebook features into its interface. With 80 GBP price and aimed at Facebookers in UK, INQ1 has a great value of money. Although feature wise it is slightly lagging behind its competitors Nokia E71 or TMobile G1, INQ1 wins the title because of its user-friendliness.
There are no news though whether INQ1 will come to other markets as well, with or without plan contract with network carriers.
