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.

If a customer is to go in for a ‘locked’ handset it must offer something that is not available with any other cell phone. The INQ Chat 3G definitely does not fall into this category. Unless available at a price of around Rs. 5,500 it can never hope to make a dent in the Indian market. If available at this price people might buy it and start browsing using GPRS until 3G schemes from service providers become available. For the customer a wait of 2/3 months might be worth the while, when the latest offerings from Nokia (and others) is bound to shake up the market.

The prices seem exorbitant when compared to similarly priced products from Nokia & Samsung......
