The INQ1 from 3 – update

By on January 3, 2009 in News

Well, my INQ1 has now died. The internal speaker doesn’t work – to hear the other party you have to switch to the loudspeaker. 3 are sending me a returns pack and promise to turn it around in three days. We’ll see …

Coming after the variable performance of the INQ1′s applications this hardware failure has confirmed my view of the INQ1 as a disappointing mobile device.

    Hi Jonathan, it sounds like a cheap phone (which it it is). How does it compare against other phones at the same price point or tariff level?

    On a related note, I've come across several everyday users of the new S2 phone recently, and people seem happy with it. Consensus is that it's a big improvement on the first version of the 3 Skype phone.

    Hi. I guess for the money it's about average. I find it frustrating that some of what it should do it doesn't do very well.

    i have a INQ1 in black, i keep reading all the reviews saying how bad it is, well i have a differnt opinion.

    i think its a great phone, ive had it a week now and i love it, i get full HSDPA signal( ppl saying signal is weak) and i live in a small town!! , the face book app and msn are always on and connected and the battery lasts me 4 days with heavy txting which i think is brilliant for a phone constantly connected.
    the facebook app runs smoothly as does msn and i have had no crashes or sluggish software.

    i think people are giving the phone a hard time, i think its great , and dont forget, its never going to be a nokia n96 or G1 , its a £80 phone , which does what it says on the tin, and very well too.
