INQ chat 3G and INQ mini 3G review:
INQ Chat 3G comes with QWERTY keypad. So here its comfortable to type emails, messages and update status messages on Twitter, Orkut, Facebook social profiles. The home screen of the device can be customized with widgets and applications. INQ Chat 3G has a slide switcher at the bottom of the screen for movement through different applications. The switcher can be controlled by a dedicated key on the right side or using the joystick. Images taken with the 3Mp camera can be uploaded directly to email and social networking sites. Contact application of the phone lists updates from social profiles of corresponding friends and relatives. There is also an inbuilt GPS receiver to support Map application and for location updates. INQ Chat 3G and mini 3G are based on Brew OS 4.0 with application support for Java platform.
The interface of INQ mini 3G is somewhat similar to INQ chat 3G. However, mini 3G doesn’t have QWERTY keypad and thereby its smaller in size. Furthermore, camera is downgraded from 3MP to 2MP. Therefore, the price of INQ mini is comparatively lower than Chat 3G.

Is it necessary to have only Aircel connection on INQ? I have been using Airtel’s GSM connection from much time and don’t want to change it at any cost.
