faizone 15 Report post Posted May 14, 2010 It was in March that UK based social networking handset maker INQ officially made its entry in India. However, the hitch was that the two new phones - Mini 3G and Chat 3G - were network locked. This meant that if you wanted to use these handsets here in India, you could do it only with an Aircel connection. The good news now is that INQ has introduced the same handsets in India, but this time they come unlocked. You can now use them with the network of your choice. Both the handsets boast of Twitter and other social network capabilities as mentioned earlier. Both the devices are capable multimedia handsets too, with support for WMP and iTunes synchronization. The INQ Chat comes with a QWERTY keyboard for helping users chat with ease. The INQ Mini, on the other hand, is a "normal" device with a standard keypad. Both the devices come with access to instant messaging clients, Skype support and a capable Internet browser. INQ is famous for its Facebook phone and with Facebook slowly becoming the most used social networking website in India, it was only natural that the Facebook phone makes an entry here. It is reported that the unlocked INQ Chat 3G will priced Rs. 7,549 throughout the country, except Maharashtra, where it will cost Rs. 7,999. The INQ Mini 3G will cost Rs. 5,349 everywhere except for Maharashtra where it is priced at Rs. 5,599. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

commonman 228 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) very good news. specially for those who are already having a MTNL/BSNL 3G SIM. As per INQ website, existing locked phones can also be unlocked at the service centre or by calling over phone and following instructions.link Edited May 15, 2010 by commonman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
