One of the most popular online activities is social networking, with sites such as Facebook being some of the popular sites on the web. The 3 INQ1 is the world's first dedicated social networking mobile phone, or to give it the name it's more commonly known by, the Facebook phone.
Social networking is the main feature of the 3 INQ1, and it extends throughout the whole device. From the homescreen
of this Facebook phone, though, the first indication of its main focus is a series of widgets running along the bottom of the screen. Each one is a link, giving you one-click access from the 3 INQ1, to social networking tools such as Facebook (hence the name Facebook phone), Live Messenger and Skype. From the frontscreen, you can also click through to other web services, with features like Last.fm and one-button access to Google search and Google Maps being standout features on the 3 INQ1. Last.fm is a particularly clever feature, as it can update what tracks it offers you to listen to, by recognising the music on your phone, and finding other songs that you may like. The phonebook can also pull in your Facebook friends' details.
With such a heavy focus on social networking, it should come as no surprise that the 3 INQ1 Facebook phone has a fast internet connection, and HSDPA internet access allows you to connect to the web at broadband speeds, while the auto-rotating browser lets you surf the net in both portrait and landscape modes. The 3 INQ1 Facebook phone will also connect up to a PC via a USB cable, and then, allow you to use the phone as a USB modem, giving you full mobile broadband access on your PC.
The 3 INQ1 Facebook phone also has a range of more traditional features, above and beyond social networking and broadband options. Chief among these is the 3 megapixel camera, let you point and click, and grab sharp, impressive photos. As well as the extra features for keeping in touch with your friends, the 3 INQ1 Facebook phone gives you access to 3's range of content, from music videos, to comedy clips and sports news.
The 3 INQ1 Facebook phone allows you to stay connected with your friends, even after you've turned your PC off, and no other phone offers as many different forms of communication.
