INQ Chat 3G unboxing video

inq-chat The INQ brand isn’t particularly well known at the moment, sure there have been a few handset from INQ, all of which have been exclusive to the 3 network here in the UK I believe, but they seem to have a fairly small following.

We reviewed the INQ1 last year and we felt that although it was far from being the most sophisticated phone it offered good social networking integration social with Facebook, Windows Live Messenger and Skype being pre-installed. This on top of the excellent data bundles that 3 were offering at the time, £10 per month for ‘unlimited data’ meant that it was a phone worth considering.

The INQ Chat 3G aims to expand upon what the INQ1 had to offer with a QWERTY keyboard, larger display and 3G connectivity. There are also some new pre-installed apps such as Twitter, to further enhance this handsets social appeal.

We’ll be reviewing the INQ Chat 3G over the next week and will have the review live for you soon. You can see the handset in bit more detail in the unboxing video below.

Top Smartphone Platforms

bb apple

I found an interesting chart on the internet today showing the Smartphone market share for the last quarter in the USA.

As you will see it was good news for BlackBerry and iPhones and even better news for Google Android (which had the biggest percentage growth).

However things are not looking good for both Windows Mobile and Palm. Both companies had a big decrease in market share. Microsoft will clearly be able to turn that around later this year with the release of Windows Phone 7 Series but can Palm do the same? Although they introduced the new Web OS last year it clearly didn’t work. They are going to have to put there thinking hats on this year if they are going to continue to play with the big boys!

Blackberry 9700 Demo Video

BlackBerry-9700 The Blackberry Bold 9700 has been around for a few months now so I thought I would record a short video just to show you a few things that I think a BlackBerry is good for that are perhaps not quite so obvious as just email.

Everyone knows that the Blackberry is fantastic for email but maybe not everyone knows that you can do most things on a BlackBerry that you can do on the other platforms.

Sure, it’s never going to beat the iPhone for games but it’s not designed to. Its primarily a messaging device, but as you will see the 9700 not at all bad at the things that a lot of us use every day on our phones.

If you want to see more video features of the BlackBerry or have any questions you can let us know via the forum.

You may also want to check out my Blackberry Bold 9700 review that I wrote a few months ago.

Vodafone spreading malware?

UGLY-BUG-15163

The Inquirer is reporting that Vodafone is selling phone with some nasty surprises onboard. Apparently an HTC Magic was loaded with the Conficker worm, a Mariposa bot client and a Lineage password divulger. The applications are not native to Android and will not affect the phone, however when you hook it up to your PC thats when the real problem starts.

A representative of Panda Security was first to discover the undesirables and was quick to act and recommends that anyone with an HTC phone scans their memory card with some up to date anti-virus software. Vodafone has yet to comment on the issue.

New YouTube client for Windows Phones and S60

youtubewindows

Using a Symbian or Windows Phone? Well if so then you will be pleased to hear that YouTube have a new version of their app.

Having YouTube on your phone is nothing new and most manufactures pre-install install the app however this latest version does bring some nice changes.

The biggest change, which in my opinion is good news, is that the app will support your own account, meaning you can easily view your favourite videos and subscriptions.

The application also comes with a new layout which is meant to be better for larger screen devices.

I will record a short video demonstrating the app in use but this will have to wait. I need to go do some work!

If you want to give it a try now just point your phones browser to – m.YouTube.com/app

HTC Legend review on Tracyandmatt

legend-front_thumb

Our Podcast co-hosts James and Matt have put together a, quite frankly, huge review of the new HTC Legend. Something of a must read if you have any interest in the phone or just Android in general. It’s rare that an almost perfect device comes along and by the sounds of it, the Legend falls into that category. Check out the review here.
