Acer in a new dimension


Acer unveiled a new addition on its portfolio - Smartphones.


Acer unveiled its new smartphone collection with the new DX650. This phone has a new feature - two screens, one at the front and one at the back. The front screen is a touch screen and runs on Windows mobile6.1 . Its loaded with all the main Office applications,and also has Windows Media Player. The other side of the phone has a black&white LCD screen, with accessibility to basic functions like inbox,composing messages,phonebook,and so on. Running on , this side of the phone works well. This side of the phone has a hard keypad which works good. The guys at Acer have also been keen to provide quad band support to the phone, which means moving through the globe is simpler.

But its not all good from what it seems. Its camera is 1.9Mp,which seems quite less when seen from the fact that there could have been a much better camera. The phone isn't 3G(maybe because there's already lot of cramming going on),but still i think that it could have been there.

Coming from a hardware giant doesn't come easy. The phone's dual screen capabilities emphasise to work while being able to use the phone's capabilities to full extent, while attending calls. This ability is aimed at the professionals who have tough times using the phone's functions while in the middle of a call(Maybe it might just be some of their employee's experiences that made them built a phone like that).

Enabled with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the works beautifully well.

And here is the summation for the technology it deploys.

Acer DX650 Specification:
Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
32bit Samsung S3C6410, 533MHz CPU
