For people with an Acer PC less than your desk, you will look upon the earliest ever mobile phone (released April 2009) offering by way of the computer giant with greater little interest. At first glance it very for instance the E-TEN (which Acer not long ago bought) smartphone, leading to thoughts in which Acer has simply bought the company for the purposes of rebranding a service and making an entrance to the mobile phone arena
As first entry the Acer DX900 is not really a bad handset, offering good features and even duel SIM capability. It’ s a bit of squat and chunky for 106mm x 60. 5mm x 17mm larger, but the rubbery-feel casing is easy to hold and it’ s 147g weight will make it nestle down firmly into the hand. The exterior Get in touch with, End and Navi buttons that light up when you press one too makes use in low-light situations easy.
It is ergonomically designed with a 2. 8inch (measured diagonally) 65K color selection TFT resistive touchscreen supplies 640x480 pixels. Also in the display are handwriting acknowledgement, an accelerometer sensor for UI rotate in addition to a light sensor.
As Acer DX900 runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 6. 1 Professional with the nation's widget user interface most of the icons are very compact and require the incorporated stylus. However, the SPB Mobile Shell software sitting onto the WB allows screen sweeping to get to well-used places such when contacts, applications and appointment setting. Also accessible in with this is the SIM card signal strength alerts information and facts screen.
Under the includes, the handset works for both 2G and 3G cpa affiliate networks, covering GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and HSDPA 850/1900/2100 on SIM 1, together with GSM 900/1800/1900 on SIM three.
The NOT-sluggish 533MHz one (a Samsung S3C 64100) zooms along before long and while the in-built memory has been more generous - you could always insert a microSD card if you feel deprived after loading up all you can find on offer when you turn on the handset. If you install the lot - you'll possess about 100MB of memory left for your own use. The phone has 128MB RAM MEMORY and 256 MB ROM and allows practically unrestricted entries and fields with the phonebook and call records sections and even photocall.
In terms with data handling, the Acer DX900 has class 10 (4+1/3+2slots), 32-48 kbps GPRS together with Class 10, 236. 8 kbps BENEFIT. On 3G HSDPA there is 7. 2 Mbps, Wi-Fi 802. 11 b/g, Wireless bluetooth V2. 0 with A2DP in addition to a miniUSB. There is hardly any infrared port.
The 3. 15 MP camera releases pictures of 2048x1536 pixels and features autofocus and LED splash. Video is possible, plus there does exist an additional secondary VGA videocall dslr camera.
Also included is TXT, MMS, Email, Instant Messaging, some sort of HTML Browser, Games and far beloved GPS using a SiRF Star III chipset. It offers Pocket Office, offering support for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, One Note and PDF Viewer with Voice Memo and an Iphone.
Running multiple applications within your day will mean recharging each night. The battery is a conventional Li-Po 1530 mAh which can provide up to 150 hours standby time or more to 10 hours chat time. It’ s pricey, but not at the top of the range, and certainly offers fine features.
What we didn’ w not like:
The navi button may be very low on the front of your handset. If you prod during it without ensuring an important balanced grip, the smartphone risks falling. It’ s those types of things you learn any hard way.
The low amount connected with internal memory once many of the applications on offer are installed requires the effective use of micro-SD cards. We felt this has been more generous
No Radio! Not even FM…
