MWC2009: INQ1 is the best mobile handset

We've also been quite surprised yesterday evening when the press release dropped in about INQ1, winner of the MWC category "Best Mobile Handset or Device". Today morning we've visited the company's stand, where there weren't many people.

As we were told, the handset is a simple low- to mid-range phone, which has some social services and IM applications integrated at system level, so the handset lets us continuously follow what our contacts are doing.

The best in the whole thing is that we don't have to install anything, Facebook, Microsoft Live Messenger and Skype are integrated in the phones's software. Its user interface provides easy usage and continuously tracks our contacts' activity on these services. If one of our acquiantances for example changes his or her display image on Facebook, the phone immediately downloads the new photo and swaps the one in our contact list out with the new one, so next time the contact is calling us, the new picture is displayed on-screen.

The British INQ Mobile is owned by Hutchinson and they are planning to launch the handset in the UK, Ireland and Australia in the first wave, they are expecting mostly network operators to be interested in the handset. In the future they are expecting to launch the INQ1 in the whole of Europe and other phones are planned as well.

INQ1 is 97 x 47.6 x 14.4 mm large and weighs 110 grams. Its display has a diagonal of 2.2", a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and it can display 262 thousand colors. In terms of data transfer the handset supports HSDPA networks, but of course it comes with Bluetooth A2DP and USB 2.0 as well. The battery provides up to 329 hours of standby time or 324 minutes of talk time.

INQ1 will be available for about 90 euros, dependind on the carrier, in a prepay package.
