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.

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
