Aircel has launched the INQ 3G mobile phone in India recently. We tell you whether it's worth your money or no.
For starters, it is a 3G-enabled social mobile that will link you up with email, Facebook, Skype, IM, Windows Live, and Twitter.
Key Features
- QVGA screen (320 x 240 pixels)
- 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus
- Built-in GPS (capable of geotagged buzz and tweets?)
- Bluetooth 2.0
- Likely access to an app market that runs on Qualcomm’s Brew 4.0 and Java MIDP 2.0
- Multitasking enabled
- 120MB internal memory, expandable to 8GB
- Plug and play HSPDA modem (plug the phone to your netbook or laptop for broadband access via miniUSB v2.0 port)
Good for music and video playback (MPEG-4, MP3 support), this phone has been customized for India with additions like a CricInfo widget, and an Orkut integration. Internet browsing can be done using the Access Net Front 3.5 browser, with support for copy and paste.
Stand Outs
- Push Gmail easily
- Sync your Address book with your Facebook, Skype, and Twitter contacts
- All the above apps can have customised homescreen widgets for real-time notification
- Media Sync support for iTunes and Windows Media Player
- You can also subscribe to RSS Feeds, have native widgets for Weather, World Clock, Search, etc.
It is expected to be launched via Aircel in India at over 5,000 outlets.
It's only Drawback is the lack of support for Wi-Fi.
Best buy: Rs 7599
To sum up, it is surely value for money. A lot of great features at an affordable price means I, for one, would love to get my hands on one of these.
