I never really liked the phone and would like to know why you decided to buy it. Cheers, Cristiano Hi Tim,

I only got a trial phone recently and haven’t had enough time with it yet to try those kind of things out. I never really liked the phone and would like to know why you decided to buy it.

Cheers,

Cristiano

I think the bar has been slightly raised in the last few years by existing phones. I am not saying that the INQ-1 is necessarily missing any mayor key features, but I think it does feel like that to most people that have ever used or seen one of the phones that raised the bar. I would love to have a play with an INQ-1 though, and I'm hoping to maybe get my hands on one soon. @sulcalibur and @john: This is exactly my point.

I use my 3G Skype phone quite a lot and even though it's a cheapy phone, it's my most used. My windows Tytn gathering dust. I was however looking for something a bit better and especially the camera. It's only a 3.2 but still better than my 2mill one. I have grown quite fond on the 3G network too as they seem to harness all the current online popular sites (Flickr, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc). Having a phone aimed squarely at Facebook just shows this. The address book features are what intrigue me the most. I hope this catches on with future phones, integrating all the details and having them work 'live' would be amazing. I’ve been looking at this phone for a few days now.

Equally it isn't a desktop - hence not including every web 2.0 website (flickr et al). What I think you have highlighted is the killer part and that is the price point. For most users the iPhone and G1 are too expensive and don't represent good value (most using being non techies). This is squarely aimed at the run of the mill customer. It'll be interesting to see how they get on and whether they have missed the facebook bandwagon.
