Mobile phone users who also enjoy social networking on the go now have one more reason to celebrate.

Singtel has launched the INQ Mini 3G, a mobile phone that is fully integrated to Facebook, and offers one-click access to the micro-blogging service Twitter.

The phone will also be customized to offer users easy access to AMPed, Singtel's music service as well as IM on Mobile.

Featuring a 'live address book', users can see the latest Facebook profile pictures of their contacts when they receive a call.

Messages and updates received from Facebook will also be stored in a separate folder in the phone's Inbox.

A Switcher feature on the INQ Mini 3G also enables users to switch easily from one social networking service to another, or between applications, such as instant messaging and email.

Equipped with a 2.0 megapixel camera, the INQ Mini 3G's 'carousel-style' menu enables easy navigation and once-click access to popular social networking sites.

Pricing details will be available on 19 September 2009 when the phone goes on sale exclusively at Sintel stores.
