E-Vouchers For A Great Deal At Singtel’s INQ Mini 3G Roadshow

[Advertorial]

I’ll be revealing the winner of the Singtel INQ Mobile Contest at the end of this post but first of all, I’ve got some news for you guys who are interested in checking out the INQ Mini 3G or have been waiting for Singtel to wave more carrots for you to get the phone (which is already free if you sign up for a certain plan by the way).

Singtel will be holding an INQ Mini 3G roadshow at Plaza Singapura tomorrow and on Sunday!

Details:

Venue: Plaza Singapura Level 1

Dates: 31st Oct (Sat) & 1st Nov (Sun)

Time: 11am – 10pm daily

Mediacorp artists Dai Yang Tian & Elvin Ng, will be appearing at 8pm on Sat and Sun respectively. These two are arguably the most good looking of the younger, up and coming stars of local TV and I hope they should be able to convince you to at least check them out while buying the INQ Mini 3G.

Now! About the carrots that Singtel is offering to you guys who are interested to buy the INQ Mini 3G but have yet to do so.

Print the following e-voucher and present it at the INQ Mini 3G roadshow this weekend when you buy the phone to enjoy…

So print the e-voucher, get down to Plaza Singapura this weekend, check out the INQ Mini 3G, buy the phone for ZERO dollars, ogle and take pictures with the celebrities with your new phone.

There, I made weekend plans for you already. :p

Check out my review of the phone here if you are still undecided.

Twitter, being a integral selling point of the INQ Mini 3G, coupled with the enthusiasm of the bloggers in the same room as Dawn, made her pretty interested in figuring out what Twitter is.

Unlike the America where most celebrities have more or less embraced social media, especially Twitter; only a handful of local celebrities have actually done the same. Thanks to and the bloggers, and have at least signed up for Twitter and we await with baited breath if they will actually use their accounts regularly. Go add em and urge them on!

Singtel Brings The INQ Mini 3G to Singapore!

[Advertorial]

Singtel is officially selling the INQ Mini 3G as of today and I had the privilege to attend their blogger event on Monday and brought home a unit to try it out!

Size comparison of INQ Mini 3G and iPhone

Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time with the phone to give and in depth review but here are the pros & cons.

Pros:

  • Phone designed with social applications integrated into it’s core like Facebook, Twitter, WLM etc..
  • Light
  • Applications can be downloaded/updated easily
  • Aesthetically pleasing design with many colours to choose from
  • Buttons are well define and relatively easy to press
  • Very, very, very affordable price

Cons:

  • Felt fragile
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack (earphones are connected via usb)
  • Felt a little sluggish at times

If you are looking for a phone to beat the Blackberry, iPhone, Android and whatever top-of-the-line phones you can think of; the INQ Mini 3G is not it. But INQ and Singtel has priced this phone at $0.

Yes. ZERO DOLLARS, if you sign up the 3G Flexi Lite AMPed plan or the iOne Plus Youth plan.

The phone is built for social media crazed individual and the price point makes it pretty irresistible if you don’t have much cash to spare.

———————————————————————————————

Singtel is holding a fun filled launch event for INQ Mini 3G between 19th – 21st September at Civic Plaza, Ngee Ann City.

Do come down to try out the INQ Mini 3G and catch celebrity appearances between 2-3pm. There is also daily lucky draws where you can win the phone itself amd Takashimaya shopping vouchers.
