Acer M900
Acer M900 was announced at the Mobile World Congress in 2009. The M900 stands out from the competition. It has two unique features – first, there is a large 3.8 inch display, and second – a slide-out keyboard. The display has an impressive resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, which combined with the 3.8-inch diagonals delivers a lot of working space. The slide-out keypad is similar to devices like Nokia E75 and Sony X1. The front part of the phone slides away from the body and reveals a full featured QWERTY keyboard. The QWERTY keyboard has large keys with raised edges. It is responsive, but it doesn’t allow you to type very fast, because the individual letters are difficult to distinguish. Overall, the keyboard is the second best after the Touch Pro2. The negative side is that, once the keypad is open you cannot angle upwards the screen. This is a really heavy device – it weighs 188 grams, so take that into consideration. Acer M900 uses a 522 MHz Samsung processor. Backed by 128 MB of RAM, this phone is one idea lower than the competitors having 256 MB. On the other hand, the camera is good. You will have a 5 MP camera in your hands, with autofocus and LED flash, so if you want to take relatively good pictures this is your handset. | |
