Acer DX900 Tempo Mobile Phone Review Acer s Dual Sim Debut



If you have an Acer PC under your desk, you will look upon the first ever mobile phone (released April 2009) offering by the computer giant with more than a little interest. At first glance it very like the E-TEN (which Acer recently bought) smartphone, leading to thoughts that Acer has simply bought the company for the purposes of rebranding a product and making an entrance into the mobile phone arena

As first entry the Acer DX900 is not a bad handset, offering good features as well as duel SIM capability. It’s a little squat and chunky at 106mm x 60.5mm x 17mm in size, but the rubbery-feel casing is easy to hold and it’s 147g weight makes it nestle down firmly into the hand. The exterior Call, End and Navi buttons that light up when you press one of them makes use in low-light conditions easy.

It is ergonomically designed with a 2.8inch (measured diagonally) 65K colour TFT resistive touchscreen offers 640x480 pixels. Also included in the display are handwriting recognition, an accelerometer sensor for UI rotate and a light sensor.

As Acer DX900 runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with its widget user interface some of the icons are very small and require the included stylus. However, the SPB Mobile Shell software sitting on top of the WB allows screen sweeping to get to well-used places such as contacts, applications and calendar. Also accessible in this way is the SIM card signal strength alerts info screen.

Under the covers, the handset works on both 2G and 3G networks, covering GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and HSDPA 850/1900/2100 on SIM 1, and GSM 900/1800/1900 on SIM 2.

The NOT-sluggish 533MHz processor (a Samsung S3C 64100) zooms along very quickly and while the in-built memory could have been more generous - you can always insert a microSD card if you feel deprived after loading up all there is on offer when you switch on the handset. If you install the lot - you will have about 100MB of memory left for your own use. The phone has 128MB RAM and 256 MB ROM and allows practically unlimited entries and fields in the phonebook and call records sections as well as photocall.

In terms of data handling, the Acer DX900 has class 10 (4+1/3+2slots), 32-48 kbps GPRS and Class 10, 236.8 kbps EDGE. On 3G HSDPA it offers 7.2 Mbps, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth V2.0 with A2DP and a miniUSB. There is no infrared port.

The 3.15 MP camera produces pictures of 2048x1536 pixels and has autofocus and LED flash. Video is possible, plus there is an additional secondary VGA videocall camera.

Also included is SMS, MMS, Email, Instant Messaging, an HTML Browser, Games and much beloved GPS using the SiRF Star III chipset. It includes Pocket Office, offering support for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, One Note and PDF Viewer with Voice Memo and an MP3 Player.

Running multiple applications during your day will mean recharging every night. The battery is a standard Li-Po 1530 mAh which will give you up to 150 hours standby time and up to 10 hours talk time.
It’s pricey, but not at the top of the range, and certainly offers good features.

What we didn’t like:

The navi button is very low on the front of the handset. If you prod at it without ensuring a balanced grip, the phone risks falling. It’s one of those things you learn the hard way.

The low amount of internal memory once all the applications on offer are installed requires the use of micro-SD cards. We felt this could have been more generous

No Radio! Not even FM…
