Mobile Phone Reviews

A Three INQ Chat 3G review reveals a fun, teen phone with a cheerful, bubblegum mobile look that kids will love. The screen and QWERTY keyboard have a familiar BlackBerry look to it, but with bright splashes of colour on the buttons and logo, and this is clearly aimed at the younger generation.

Three has priced the INQ Chat competitively and it is very good value for money. It’s a cheap mobile phone teenagers can afford (or their parents can). As you would expect this phone is set up for social networking, contacts from Facebook, Skype, and Messenger can all easily be merged with your contacts list. The messaging interface makes alternating between, Twitter, MSN, and texting simple and a bonus for those who have a busy social networking circle.

The multimedia player is well laid out but the sound quality is not the best around, the 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus is decent enough and with the aid of the 2.4 inch screen you will be able to take and edit your photos for Facebook quite easily.

If you are not a teenager then the bright colours and incidental sound effects will get on your nerves after a while. The resolution is not top shelf and its downloading speeds are a little slow, leaving it feeling a bit cheap. There is also no standard 3.5mm jack so headphone selection will be somewhat limited. The Three INQ Chat 3G does offer good value for young people and it’s a fun recreational phone, great for networking and keeping in touch with friends.
