INQ Mobile has unveiled two Facebook centric smartphones - Cloud Touch and Cloud Q running Google Android operating system. Yes, these two are the famous "Facebook" phones that were being developed by INQ Mobile and Facebook closely. Cloud Touch is a touchscreen based smartphone while Cloud Q is a QWERTY keyboard bearing device. Both INQ phones run Google Android 2.2 Froyo and have Facebook tightly integrated to its core. We reported about Cloud Touch's listing last month.

The Cloud Touch has a generous 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen display and a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus, while the Cloud Q features full physical QWERTY keyboard and 2.6-inch touchscreen display.





Both Cloud series smartphones run Facebook and Spotify overlay. The home screens of these Android 2.2 Froyo based phones have been redesigned and carry a Facebook widget that displays News Feed. The Scroll bar above the Menu button gives a direct access to different Facebook features.

Cloud Touch and Cloud Q sport 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset that seems to be enough for Facebook addicts. Packed in gaudy colors, the Cloud Touch is aimed at Facebook aficionados who're looking for an affordable Android phone mostly for social network features besides basic telephony functions.

The Cloud Touch comes with 4GB microSD card to make up for mere 4MB internal memory. These smartphones would be made available in the second quarter of this year and there are no details on the pricing for these phones. It is likely that these phones would hit the Indian shores before the end of this year.

If it is a " Facebook phone " expect to get this message within three hours to three months of turning the phone on, except if you think crashing aircraft in to the Twin Towers of the WTC NYC NY on 9/11 and murdering innocent people in the name of Islam is a good thing . " You don't want to exterminate Jews and kill everybody who will not recognize the supremacy of Islam, you have breached, " Facebook phone TOS ", your telephone number is permabanned, die Kufar pig. Next stop Auschwitz for you. "
