Facebook, Windows Messenger, Skype, hsdpa speed, desktop widgets such us weather/world time/rss feeds, email client, 3.2mb camera, great battery life.
Bad Points
Camera has no flash so only good in decent light. Standard keypad so takes a little longer to enter Facebook/msn/skype chat. Need to buy the £5 a month internet add on or your internet usage will cost you dear!!
General Comments
Love this phone. Had the Skypephone S1 which was a good all round phone at a good price and so bought the Skype S2 which in my opinion is poor. Had 2 x S2's in one week and both crashed at least 3 or 4 times a day, turning off and requiring a battery removal to reboot. Thankfully 3 have redeemed themselves with the Inq1. This is thankfully stable like the first Skypehone and has a whole host of features built in to make it stand out from the crowd. If you've got the money ( £79.99 from 3) then the Inq1 is a great buy. It's a slide phone, 3.2mp camera and all the internet features built in.
If you're on a budget and just want Skype more basic msn/facebook buy the old Skypephone for about 40 quid. My advice is to avoid the Skypephone S2 until 3 sort out all the bugs as currently it's what is known as a "turkey"!
