  • Excellent review - the single, only drawback I can see, is the small 2.2" screen. I may wait for the next generation of this before parting with some cash.

    How refreshing Hutchinson are - think back to the good old days of orange and line two, then with 3 and later X-Series, now with INQ and their revolutionary handset(s), exciting times indeed.

    Why on earth doesn't the rest of industry pull its finger out and start inovating like them on a regular basis?

    Trev.
  • I agree - the only negative coverage I've seen is from people who don't get the distinction between 'integrated' and 'lots of independent clients'. Brilliant!

    I need a fuller smartphone experience, but I will buy one just because I think this is the first time we've seen significant clever thinking at this end of the market.... oh and the artwork on the box is very pretty.

    So sad I missed the launch now... damn job!
  • Nice review Rob!

    Does the last.fm client stream or just scrobble?
  • It just scrobbles at this point.
  • That's a shame, I can see why they would do that but the real appeal of Last.fm to me is streaming :(
  • It is apparently a licensing issue - Ant mentioned it on his excellent coverage of the event: http://freshplastic.vox.com/
  • Cheers Ben! Although I'd have used the word 'awesome', not 'excellent'... :-D
  • just read ant's blog profile picture integration with your phonebook. That alone is awesome! :)
  • yeah that really awesome for me too.
    but i hear a licensed issue too about it and make me weird to use it
  • So how has this worked out? Anyone have one and actually used it for facebook or other social type application?
  • Google. Or search here. Loads of coverage.

    /m
  • when it available for O2?
