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!

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.

INQ Mobile is giving away $100 cash and a $100 shopping voucher to one lucky winner!

INQ is one mobile phone company that is doing things a little differently with their phones. They cater for users like you and me who feels the need to be constantly ‘plugged into’ the internet and be on social platforms like Skype, Windows Live Messenger (WLM) and Facebook. Guess what? They integrated the mentioned social platforms (and more) into the phone itself.

As such, my favourite feature of the INQ Mobile phones is the integration of social platforms into the address book of the phones. Fire up your address book, see who is online on WLM, check out their newest drunk profile pic from Facebook, call someone on Skype to laugh about the pic; all these done right in the address book.

The bad news is that the makers of the best mobile handset at the Global Mobile Awards 2009 do not have their INQ mobiles available yet in Singapore. While we all drool at the possibility of actually owning one soon, take this chance to win lovely prizes from them right here!
