We like:
Integration with online services is really slick; HSPDA makes it all quick
We don't like:
Lack of flash on the camera; no 3.5mm headphone jack; design could be sexier
Also known as:
INQ1
CNET UK judgement:
The INQ 1 is a great achievement that proves good phones needn't be expensive. If you want access to Facebook, Skype and Windows Live Messenger without the size, complexity and expense of a full smart phone, this is perfect. We're disappointed it doesn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack and Wi-Fi would be great, but hopefully INQ will put them on its next phone -- along with a Qwerty keyboard
Full review:

The INQ 1 is an innovative phone that pulls together social networking services in a compact slider. Is this the Facebook phone we've all been waiting for? Read on to find out. Continue Reading...

BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
