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.
