It seems that the 3's "Facebook phone", the INQ1 will not be exclusive to the operator.Inq, a subsidiary of Hutchison-Whampoa, 3's parent company, is in talks with "at least two major operators" about launching the social networking mobile beyond 3's network.
Inq boss, Frank Meehan, is quoted as saying the IG1 is attracting "quite a bit of demand" from other operators.
Meehan told Mobile: "Talks with operators are going very well, and we definitely expect it to be available on other networks this year. We're privately owned and well funded though, so we're not in too much of a rush. The important thing is to get the right business".
More INQ-branded phones are due to be launched in the second half of 2008, with a QWERTY-keyboard equipped model promised. Phones, Mobile phones, Facebook, Inq
