I’m not too sure this is completely kosher, but I just received an email saying that: “3 has ended its introductory INQ prepaid offer if $179, and the INQ is currently available for $249 prepaid with unlimited Facebook”. Yet the original press release made no mention of it being introductory at all.From the original release:
INQ1 will be $179 on 3 Prepaid when customers purchase one of 3′s new Prepaid Caps recharge vouchers starting at $29.
Part of me thinks this is a pretty dodgy move on 3′s part, but then another part of me thinks that $249 for a phone with the build quality of the INQ1 is still a pretty good deal. Plus, you still get unlimited facebook and 4,000 Skype minutes, or if you opt for post-paid the phone is free on a $29 cap. It just sucks for anyone who was hoping to pick up a pre-paid INQ1 with their bonus $900 from K-Rudd…

Yeah the price changed about a month ago… I was planning to buy one for $179 on Tuesday and instead by Saturday it cost $250. It sucks but I guess the exchange rate has changed heaps between November and now…
Report PermalinkI still bought one, its a decent phone but the camera is totally useless indoors and the facebook app is featureless. There are also plenty of bugs, I haven’t used it for a day without it crashing yet… Does anyone know when the new firmware update is coming?
