We wish we could bring you news of all that’s good and great and cheap and affordable-for-all-it-offers and robust and interchangeable and just plain kind of neat about the 3 Mobile INQ Chat 3G. We can’t, however, as more pressing matters have, well, pressed themselves up into our attention holes. Namely, the young fellow in the video below.

Because new and fresh as all the news about the INQ Chat 3G is, there aren’t really any videos out there in the worldly web for us to bring you. Or so we thought, until we found this diamond of a gem of a crystal of an example of exactly, precisely, and utterly what YouTube was made for. Yep, you guessed it, this guy makes a total **** out of himself. But, to be fair, does so in a way that’s so endearing / pitiable [delete depending on how cruel you are] that you just can’t help but love him. And instantly forward it on to at least twenty colleagues, friends, family members, people you used to date, etc. and so on and so forth.

What’s that? You don’t understand what all the fuss is about. Ah, then you haven’t been patient.

Wait for it… wait some more… have a flick through this INQ Chat review… wait some more… read this… bam! There it is: yep, now you understand: rapping. This kid is rapping. About mobile phones. In his bedroom. For the sake of thousands of viewers. What more can we say? Mum, dad, you gotta be real proud. INQ: you gotta be real happy.

In fact, we think INQ should send him not only the Chat 3G, but the Mini as well, so important is this guy going to be for all your future sales.

In this world in which stupidity, celebrity, plastic body parts, ignorance and general dissolution are championed, it’s nice to come across something that’s bucking the trend. And no, we’re not talking about some kind of Mormon cult or other freaky god botherers. We’re talking about a phone. The INQ Mini 3G, in fact.

And while at first you might struggle to see the link, we think it’s there for all to see. Proof of which came at the recent 2009 Global Mobile Awards. An award ceremony populated by bloated, sweating executives all hoping that their 12 megapixel / Wi-Fi sporting / AMOLED-screened / obscenely expensive handset would walk away with the coveted Best Mobile Handset award, guess who won? The budget, almost unheard of INQ 1. The first phone, in fact, ever produced by this little company.

So, has the fame gone to their head? Is the INQ Mini 3G some kind of all-singing, all-dancing celebrity of a phone? Far from it. In fact, as you’ll see by giving this INQ 3G Mini review just a brief glance, or by double-taking when you look at how ridiculously cheap these INQ Mini 3G deals are, just the opposite. This is a phone that does nothing at all extraordinary. But in (not) doing so, manages to be a truly fantastic little phone. It’s main selling point is the integrated systems designed to link up to all the social networking and email programs out there, and a new function that lets you synch directly to iTunes.

And fair enough this might not all be for you. But we think that there’s plenty of you out there that this will appeal to. And plenty who might otherwise have been conned into spending more than they need on their next handset. But trust us, there’s no need to spend more than you need. Who knows, the Chat 3G might be exactly what you need, and nothing more.
