INQ Cloud Touch and Cloud Q Facebook phones are now official

Since we recently managed to catch a preview of the INQ Cloud Touch (a.k.a. the Facebook Phone), there was probably no sense to keep it unannounced anymore and the company has confirmed the Cloud Touch and Cloud Q Facebook-oriented phones, with the latter being a variant of the Cloud Touch with a QWERTY keyboard. This Android-powered device gets closer to Facebook via widgets and shortcuts, allowing users to easily access Facebook’s chat, contacts, widgets, news feed and more. The device is powered by a 600MHz Qualcomm chip and INQ is also plotting to have Android 2.3 Gingerbread running on the device somewhere down the line.

Another feature that will set it apart from the rest of the pack is the replacement of the stock Android media player with Spotify, offering users unlimited music, though you’ll need a subscription for that, which will probably be bundled together with the phone. The Cloud Touch is slated to ship to Europe first and will launch in the UK this April, while other countries will have to wait a little while longer.
