Having released the main technical specs for this device a while ago, there’s been little news since then on the INQ Chat 3G, although as it shares a lot of common code with the INQ Mini 3G, we can at least see how it should perform by looking at this unit.

However, little bits of additional information are starting to be released by INQ…

• In terms of the SD card support, they have confirmed it’s the same as the INQ Mini 3G, so both devices will support microSD cards upto “at least 8GB”.
• The main 3.2 megapixel camera will be referred to as the “Facebook Camera”.  “Itss a bit different to typical cameras as its built to be logged in 24/7 to Facebook. So you point, snap and one-click upload straight to your Facebook account”.  INQ go on that it “is optimised for Facebook to ensure it doesn’t take hours to upload your snaps”.
• INQ’s real life trials of the device show even with heavy usage, the battery will last between 1 and 1.5 days, which makes it better than some smartphones on the market today that struggle to complete a business day.

The device is pretty much ready (from the manufacturer’s point of view), so we should see it being released on 3UK soon.  We suspect it’ll either be in the December catalogue, or the January 2010 Catalogue, ready for the New Year Sales, but we’ll let you know once we hear an exact date.
