Acer DX900 and X960 slated for launch soon

Two models in Acer’s recently announced line of smartphones may be hitting the shelves soon according to Vincent Chen, manager of product marketing at Acer’s Smart Handheld Business. The DX900 is expected to be released by the end of the month and will feature a 2.8“ VGA touchscreen, dual SIM slots, quad-band GSM and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA, 3.2 MP autofocus camera, GPS, WiFi, bluetooth 2.0 and Windows Mobile 6.1. The X960, expected early next month, lacks the dual SIM capability of the DX900 but is otherwise similarly spec’d. The higher end M900 and F900 which sport a more respectable 3.8″ WVGA touchscreen display are not expected until later in Q2 2009.

    It all depends on timing.

    If acer can get the “higher end” models to market quickly they’ll be the only winmo devices with a 3.0″+ screen.

    I’d say having text you can actually read is pretty innovative.

    If they have any sense, they’ll be available off contract at a decent price point. Some of us would love a new device and don’t need the newest, best thing. But we do want to avoid a new contract and a huge up front cost.

    badchad, Verizon’s Samsung Omnia has a 3.2″ screen. But I reckon that’s the only one with a descent size in the U.S.

    i WISH they release the M900 for cheap (150 at most…c’mon its a recession!) I’m lookin for a phone JUST like these, simply but gets the job done.

    its not carrier specific is it?
