Typical price: £100
What is it: A superb-looking slider phone that is seamlessly designed and features a heat-sensitive glowing red touchpad
What we think: We're in love with the look of it, but the touchpad can be awkward to use and it's a shame about the lack of expandable memory

"Kept the box, binned the phone"
What I like:
Appearance when it's been polished
What I don't like:
Erratic response to touch control, subpar battery, inexplicable cutting out during calls
Review:
Thank goodness it was a free upgrade. This phone showed such promise with the slide function and size and simplicity I was looking for with that touch of class. But it smudged so easily I spent the first hour cleaning it with the special minature cleaning button and replacing it in its velvet pouch. I overcame my obsessive compulsive disorder and started actually using the phone, trying to ignore the finger prints.
It kept dying on me in mid-conversation.
The battery gave no sign it was running low and died within 24 hours.
The overly-touch sensitive screen meant I found myself ringing the GUM clinic when I wanted to ring by Gran.
I've binned it, kept the box, and returned to my Samsung E800 which I've yet to find a match for.

Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
