With all the hype round the big boys in the industry, some of the smaller mobile phones can get overlooked. And that’s a shame when it’s the Three INQ1, a handset best described as the Facebook phone with mobile broadband built in! For such a cheap handset, this stunner does so much!

What makes a Facebook phone?

So, if you’re going to be selling a Facebook phone, what will it be like? What kind of stuff would you expect it to do, and how would it differ from other mobile phones? Well, there are some silly suggestions some could make for a Facebook phone. If only to clear them out the way so you don’t dwell on them when we actually get to the Three INQ1 Facebook phone, I suppose I’d best list some of them here. Imagine a phone that you could throw sheep at people wherever you were, or zombie hug them. No matter where, you’d always be able to annoy your mates, and type stupid pointless comments on their wall. With a Facebook phone, you’re always linked in to your collective group.

Except, that’s not such a silly pipe dream, because the Three INQ1 really is a phone that does things like that, and more, to truly earn the title of ‘Facebook phone’.

Three INQ1 – the Facebook phone cometh

So, what makes this new entry into the world of mobile phones so special? Why is it so cool? Well, put simply, it’s down to communication. Sure, a few mobile phones have let you get on to Facebook but none of them have had the tight integration you see here. So, with the Three INQ1 Facebook phone, it’s integrated down to the level of putting your friends’ statuses in their phonebook entries, so you can instantly see who’s logged in, and available. It evens pulls down a phonebook image from Facebook, too, and you can upload YOUR images straight from the 3MP camera to your Facebook profile! Mind you, it’s also fair to say it’s not JUST a Facebook phone… it’s a Skype phone, and an MSN phone, and just about any communication-method-under-the-sun phone, too.

But the really cool thing is… the Three INQ1 Facebook phone isn’t even just a phone…

Not just a phone… it does mobile broadband too!

Y’see, while the Three INQ1 Facebook phone is exceptionally nice as a mobile phone, it comes with a HSDPA internet connection. And that, my friends, isn’t just for looking at Facebook on the phone itself. Unlike the vast majority of mobile phones on the market, you can also connect it to your laptop, and use it as a USB modem. That’s right, as well as being a superb mobile phone, the Three INQ1 also gives you mobile broadband, letting you get your laptop online, no matter where you are. There aren’t many mobile phones you can say that about! It doesn’t hurt, either, that the Three INQ1 Facebook phone is clad in shiny brushed metal, giving it a sleek, sexy, sliding body that you’ll want to hold and caress. In short, in case you hadn’t guessed, the Three INQ1, the first proper Facebook phone, is ace!
