When you have an Acer PC within your desk, you will look upon the primary ever mobile phone (released April 2009) offering because of the computer giant with greater than a little interest. At first glance it very including the E-TEN (which Acer just bought) smartphone, leading to thoughts which will Acer has simply bought the corporation for the purposes of rebranding a program and making an entrance into the mobile phone arena
As first entry the Acer DX900 just isn't a bad handset, offering good features along with duel SIM capability. It’ s slightly squat and chunky on 106mm x 60. 5mm x 17mm in proportions, but the rubbery-feel casing is not hard to hold and it’ s 147g weight helps it be nestle down firmly in the hand. The exterior Telephone, End and Navi buttons that illuminate when you press one of these makes use in low-light types of conditions easy.
It is ergonomically beautifully made with a 2. 8inch (measured diagonally) 65K coloring TFT resistive touchscreen features 640x480 pixels. Also contained in the display are handwriting recognition, an accelerometer sensor for UI rotate plus a light sensor.
As Acer DX900 goes Microsoft Windows Mobile 6. 1 Professional with its widget user interface a number of the icons are very smallish and require the incorporated stylus. However, the SPB Mobile Shell software sitting together with the WB allows screen sweeping to go to well-used places such for the reason that contacts, applications and appointments.

The NOT-sluggish 533MHz model (a Samsung S3C 64100) zooms along immediately and while the in-built memory could have been more generous - you possibly can always insert a microSD card if you are deprived after loading up all there's on offer when you first turn on the handset. If you install the lot - you should have about 100MB of memory left on your own use.

Running multiple applications on your day will mean recharging each night. The battery is an average Li-Po 1530 mAh which will provide you with up to 150 hours standby time and up to 10 hours discussion time. It’ s high priced, but not at the top quality, and certainly offers beneficial features.
What we didn’ big t like:
The navi button is quite low on the front on the handset. If you prod on it without ensuring a balanced grip, the cellphone risks falling. It’ s one particular things you learn this hard way.
The low amount from internal memory once each of the applications on offer are installed requires the usage of micro-SD cards. We felt this could have been more generous
No R / c! Not even FM…
