Want a smartphone but don't want to shell out the dough? INQ Mobile is looking to make the smartphone experience more affordable--and more social. The handset offers a number of features generally only seen on higher-end handsets, such as Java support, widget integration, and support for third-party apps.
The company launched the handset in the UK on November 13th with 3 UK. The INQ1 has no planned U.S. release date, but the company says it's currently in talk with carriers in the States.
The price point should be under $100--even less with carrier subsidization. Check out a video of the handset, after the jump.
I bought one of these last week and my Wife bought one today, both on the 3 network. It's a nice handy little phone with plenty of things to do. Facebook, Skype, email, Youtube, eBay, etc all built in. It could do with a firmware update though as I have had problems with my handset crashing and requiring a reboot. Came free with a £15pm contract!
