The INQ1 from 3 - update

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

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.

Hmm not an endorsement then. How's MIR's tame student getting on?

not to give to much away currently working on the posts now but I would hold off just yet. My posts will reveal all.

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.
