We’ve now had more information on the full tech specs of the new INQ Chat and INQ Mini.  Just to confirm the update we made to yesterday’s article; the INQ Chat does feature GPS, and will ship with Google Maps too (we understand that although the My Location feature will work via GPS, it will still not support cell location capabilities).

INQ Chat 3G specifications include:

• 114.5mm x 61.0mm x 12.8mm
• Widgets automatically push Twitter and Facebook updates to the home screen
• Active address book is presence-enabled showing live status from all your contacts, letting you chose how to contact them
• Built-in plug and play HSDPA modem to give your PC wireless broadband access
• 2.4″ QVGA TFT landscape display
• 3.2 megapixel auto focus camera
• Built-in GPS
• 120MB memory, (expandable to 8GB)
• Brew 4.0 and Java MIDP 2.0 for application development multitasking supported by dedicated Switcher hard key
• Seven coloured optional interchangeable backs

INQ Mini 3G specifications changes are:

• 102.9mm x 45.8mm x 12.8mm
• 2.2″ QVGA TFT landscape display
• 2.0 megapixel camera
• 100Mb user memory (expandable to 8GB)
• No GPS

Tech Radar have had hands-on access to both devices and their reviews are here (INQ Mini) and here (INQ Chat)

We also updated our previous article with new pricing information; it appears the INQ Mini will be around £69.99, and the INQ Chat will be £109.99, which, given it’s got HSPA & GPS makes it a very well priced QWERTY device, which we think is going to be a very big seller.

However, the big news is that we now understand (courtesy of What Mobile) that these devices will not have the last.fm scrobbling support of the INQ1; which is a real shame, and a bit of a blow for last.fm.
