Initial details on 3’s new ‘Facebook Phone’
Published by Ewan on Thursday 13th November 2008, 12:59 Comments | Filed under: Devices

The INQ1 or ‘The Facebook Phone’ is launched today. Our man RobK is on the scene. We’ll have more from you shortly — plus I’m hoping to be able to meet with one of their top executives tomorrow for a sit-down interview on camera.

We’ll bring you more on the handset shortly — but I’d like to highlight the shockingly good tariffs:

You’ve got a choice of two.

Tariff A: £15 per month

That includes: -

- Unlimited email, data, Skype etc.,
- Unlimited 3-3 on-net calls
- Unlimited cross network UK texts
- 75 cross network UK minutes

Tariff B: £20 per month

The extra fiver gets you an upgrade to 200 cross network UK minutes.

The handset itself? £79.99 PAYG.

We’ll have more on this shortly…

Can I get some clarity on that? And can we... »
  • Can't wait to see the full MIR show on this handset! Now I love the crew, but please please please focus on the UI and UX of the device.

    Ideally copy this format and give us a COMPLETE over view of the hardware and more importantly, software: http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?...
  • That's good feedback Stefan, we'll focus on that. Tomorrow I think it'll be more about a chap talking about it -- we'll hopefully get a look at the device too, but expect more in-depth stuff later on.
  • Looks very impressive, specially for Facebook nuts - but what about Twitter?? Can you also ask the man from Three how the hell PAYG customers talk to humans - http://kiphakes.com/?p=67 :)
  • There's a reason Vodafone put you through to a British person in a British call centre within 3 rings... and it's an extra few zeros on the end of your bill ;-)

    I reckon they've got it about right. I know when I phone up and speak to the 3 Indian Call Centre chaps that ... well... it's cheap, innit?
  • Yes - but cheap doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to speak to anyone surely?

    Three seem massively keen to push their PAYG product, and it IS good - don't get me wrong - but it is fundamently flawed when you can't actually get customer service. No matter how much money I chuck onto my dongle - I am a customer - and expect service.
  • It's all about economics -- it's cheap as chips. I reckon -- unfortunately -- if you want consistently GOOD customer service, you need to swap networks. 3 isn't configured to offer Voda levels.

    3 have made a commercial decision to NOT speak with you. Pretty shocking stuff, but actually, when you get down to it -- it's cash related.
