It looks like 3′s new Facebook phone is due to be unveiled officially next Thursday.
Three’s made no secret that its new handset will allow access to the social networking site and that they buddied up with INQ Mobile to manufacture its own-brand blowers.
INQ’s chief executive Frank Meehan even let slip to Reuters that its newest handset (the INQ1), will have a sub £125 price tag as well as offering “tight integration [between the phone’s] contacts book [and] with popular social sites like Facebook.â€
So – I’m assuming that the INQ1 is the same beast as the 3 Facebook phone….
This “tight integration†of Facebook’s services will probably mean that you’ll see your friends’ status updates along with their names – which is hardly the bleeding edge of wowness to be honest.
Word is that the new handset will also hook up with Three’s Skypephone service which is very credit-crunch friendly of them.
INQ promises a full web browser using the same Webkit engine as the iPhone and T-Mobile G1, the ability to use the phone as a USB dongle for laptops and other software niceties, like an eBay tracker and Windows Live Messenger.
Let’s just see eh?
