Should you have an Acer PC less than your desk, you will look upon the earliest ever mobile phone (released April 2009) offering by computer giant with higher than a little interest. At first glance it very like the E-TEN (which Acer just lately bought) smartphone, leading to thoughts in which Acer has simply bought the business for the purposes of rebranding a service and making an entrance on the mobile phone arena
As first entry the Acer DX900 is just not a bad handset, offering good features and also duel SIM capability.

As Acer DX900 works Microsoft Windows Mobile 6. 1 Professional with it has the widget user interface many of the icons are very small and require the covered stylus.

The NOT-sluggish 533MHz processer (a Samsung S3C 64100) zooms along very quickly and while the in-built memory might have been more generous - you may always insert a microSD card if you believe deprived after loading up all there's on offer when you turn on the handset. If you install the lot - you will possess about 100MB of memory left for your own personel use.

What we didn’ to like:
The navi button is incredibly low on the front of your handset. If you prod during it without ensuring your balanced grip, the phone risks falling. It’ s among those things you learn a hard way.
The low amount involving internal memory once many of the applications on offer are installed requires the application of micro-SD cards. We felt this might have been more generous
No Radio stations! Not even FM…
