Last night was awesome for INQ. We picked up the GSMA’s Global Mobile Award for “Best Mobile Handset or Device”. This is the mobile industry’s most coveted and fiercely contested prize - so it is like winning the Oscar for Best Film.
The INQ¹ won the award over four other shortlisted top-class contenders: the Nokia E71, T-mobile G1, BlackBerry Storm and LG KS360.
We’re really proud that the industry has recognized our effort to bring a new category of democratically priced devices to market that make internet communications easy to use.
Founder Frank Meehan (CEO) collected the prize together with co-founders Jeff Taylor (Marketing and Strategy Director) and Ken Johnstone (Products and Design Director).

That only shows that a good phone doesn't need to have a famous label

Well said. Winning best handset in its first year says too much about it.
