The Guardian has given the INQ1 a run down, confirming details and defining facts. The overiding piece of news has to be the price point though. They put, in black and white, “The INQ1 will be free for anyone willing to sign up to an 18-month contract at just £15 a month. For that they will get unlimited Facebook and Skype calls, as well as access to Windows Live Messenger and up to 1GB a month of web access, plus unlimited texts, unlimited email, unlimited calls to other 3 customers and 75 minutes of calls to other networks a month.”

Whichever way you cut it that’s a lot of phone for your £15 p/m. They also delve into where the potential appeal lies; citing the Facebook user increase from 5 to 15 million, it is the integrated use of the hugely popular social media site that’ll be tempting people to purchase. Has it got what it takes? Full Guardian piece is here.
