INQ brings two new and easy to use 3G mobiles, equipped with Twitter and Sync capabilities. But that is not all. These new phones from INQ present a wider array of features that should capture the fancy of mobile phone users, particularly the ones who are into social media and some other features that cover videos and photos.

There are 2 phones up for consideration. The first is the INQ Chat 3G, INQ’s first qwerty-style phone and the INQ Mini 3G. Twitter is perhaps the highlight of both new phones, since INQ has worked closely with Twitter developers to come come up with the Twitter apps for both the phones.

Also, these price-sensitive phones boast of a plug and play HSDPA modems enabling high-speed wireless broadband on PCs and Macs. The INQ Chat 3G and INQ Mini 3G applications can be updated over the air, a feature essential to keep pace with how online applications change and consumer usage evolves.

The Samsung S30 can now be purchased from Sprint at $450 but drops to $130 if the buyer would get it along with a two-year agreement and $100 mail-in rebate. This consumer-oriented smartphone offers a touchscreen, GPS, and wireless broadband.

The original Samsung Instinct was launched last year to be Sprint’s answer to the iPhone, but its marginal web browser hurt its ability to compete against Apple’s smartphone. The new s30 offers an improved web-browsing experience thanks to Opera Mini 4.2.

Sprint has tried to strike a balance between consumer and business functions. This model is able to synchronize with a Microsoft Exchange server for corporate email and calendar data, but also includes the popular games “Guitar Hero - World Tour” and “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader,” access to Sprint TV and Sprint Music, and connections to social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, and YouTube.

Samsung built multimedia support into this device, including an MP3 and video player and a microSD card slot for storing up to 16 GB of songs and movies. A 2.0 MPx camera with video support is also included.
