3 To Launch ‘Facebook Phone’ On Thursday
The first handset from new manufacturer INQ is set to be announced on the 3 network this Thursday. The phone is centred around social networking on the go, and the manufacturer is in fact owned by Hutchinson, 3’s parent company.
3 is targeting the Web 2.0 savvy consumer who wants to spend their time online on their phone, but cannot afford the high-end mobiles that make browsing easy like the iPhone or Blackberry Bold.
It also seamlessly integrates your Facebook experience with your phone, as contacts and Facebook friends merge and texts sit side by side with Instant Messages. It is also clever enough to work as a USB modem when attached to a PC, giving a truly always connected experience!
It is earmarked to be at a very competitive PAYG pricepoint for web loving teens, with rumours it could be as low as £99!
Further INQ handsets will be launched throughout 2009, both on 3 as well as the other service providers. Watch this space for an Omio review!
