Acer X960
When you first look at Acer X960, it doesn’t look bad at all. This device feels solid, heavy and it is perfect for one hand use. The display is 2.8-inches and it is easy to tackle, very responsive at touch, but not too sensitive. On the left hand side you can find the volume rocker and the camera button and the power button are positioned on the right. On the back of the phone there is a 3.2 megapixel camera. It has a mirror a LED flash. Overall, this Acer X960 feels great, and it is nice build with excellent material quality. The operating system is Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. This OS is good for business users, but the interface is somehow hard to use. Some of the icons are really small and you experience difficulties trying to press them. From the software side, this phone includes Acer Shell. This is an excellent personalization pack, quite likable with decent functionality. You shouldn’t expect too much from the camera, the pictures are warmer than normal and the camera has some problems with the autofocus. Overall, Acer X960 has a pleasing design and fast hardware performance. The in-call quality is not so good, and the camera is below mid-range. | |
