5 Features The Skypephone S3 Should Have

(3) Camera

The INQ1 camera did not have any front facing camera which is vital to make video calls. Furthermore, the current camera on the phone, a 3.2-megapixel model, has been superseded as 5-megapixel models become the norm. Furthermore the INQ1 did not have any flash, which is a shame, especially as the phone is aimed at Facebook, Twitter and Myspace fans.

(4) Unlimited Internet/Text Plans

Not something that INQ1 could change, it has more to do with Three's positioning of the phone. As a social phone, it makes sense to bundle the next generation INQ phone with unlimited internet and text as it is currently the case on the £20 Texter and Internet package. The current deal which offers 200 any time any network minutes on a 18-month contract has been a hit especially as Three chose to offer the Blackberry-like Nokia E71 Grey smartphone, a rival that has dethrone the INQ1 at this price level.

(5) Others

We would dearly like to see WiFi capabilities on the INQ1 for obvious reasons as well as the possibility to accommodate dual microSD cards, a unique advantage over the other mobile phones. This would allow the phone to boost its memory capacity to up 32GB (two 16GB) for as little as £35, well beyond the current iPhone and other competitors. Finally, INQ1 could price the phone at £100 excluding top up as well as £20 per month on contract with unlimited text, skype, internet and 300 minutes anytime any network and it will easily be a hands-down winner.
