INQ Mini First Impressions

@3mobilebuzz has given me an INQ Mini to look at. Cheers guys!

My first impressions are that this handset is a refined and updated release of INQ1. The hardware is fairly solid. I took the back cover off and there’s 1150mAh battery inside, so I’m expecting similar life to the INQ1. It’s red and shiny, but more importantly INQ+Art has spilled onto the Mini’s software much more than before, so the quirky box and packaging design feels like a theme rather than an addition.

The most noticeable change to the software (which seems faster at switching between apps) is the addition of a Twitter application. It was the first place I headed on the switcher and turned out to be a huge disappointment. The Twitter app only allows you to browse your entire feed and post an update. There’s a TON of functionality missing here. I was hoping that my friends/followers on Twitter would integrate with my phonebook as they do with Facebook and Skype. But where are my @replies, where is my message inbox, and how do I post photos and videos? - Move over, I’m using dabr.

More soon…
