Acer beTouch E101
 |
Acer beTouch E101 stays at the bottom line of Acer’s line up of devices. What does that mean? Well, it is the most affordable low-end phone ever released by Acer and it is the cheapest Windows phone on the market upon its release. The phone’s body is made of plastic, but the battery cover is actually nice built. It weighs 118 grams, it has a clean and stylish design, despite it is a low end device. The design includes glossy black finish. The power button stays at the top, the volume and lock buttons are positioned on the left side, and the 2 MP camera stays on the back. Acer has added a Qualcomm processor that ticks over at 528 MHz, almost the same type as the processor used from Nokia and HTC. Acer beTouch E101 has 256 MB RAM and 512 MB of ROM, and a slot for microSD cards, hidden by a plastic flap. This model packs a 3.2 inch screen, but its resolution is awful – 240 x 400 pixels. The screen is so bad that you can actually see the black lines between the vertical and horizontal pixels. But, that is not all, this phone has very poor connectivity – there is no even WiFi, so you should rely entirely on GPRS or EDGE. It is funny, that you can find the YouTube app preloaded here, because it is useless on a 2G device. |
