Since the beginning of written history, there have always been people or entities trying to conquer the world and smartphones make for a genuine \”threat\”. A growing number of surveys indicate that smartphones are becoming increasingly widespread and the trend is to accelerate in the coming years. In this train of thought, it can be expected that manufacturers that haven\’t come up with their own smart devices yet will try luck. Acer makes for an illustrative example. Their Windows Mobile handsets didn\’t take long to roll out after the company took over Eten and now the rumor has it that Android-based cell phones are to follow soon.

The large 3.8\” display is good, and 800 x 480 pixels gives you plenty of room for web browsing. It\’s reasonably responsive to touch and you\’ll get away with using your fingers or at least your fingernails for most applications. One bug bear with the screen is that it is extremely glossy, which is pretty much the norm for handsets now, but it\’s performance in strong sunlight is poor, you\’ll find yourself angling the screen to be able to see it properly. Probably not such a big deal as we only have about 3 days of sun each year in the UK but more important elsewhere perhaps.

We\’re often asked about texting and text entry on handsets. The F900, as you would expect, has all the standard Windows Mobile text-entry methods from handwriting recognition to the normal QWERTY keyboard. You probably wont want to use the normal WM QWERTY as on the 480×800 screen it\’s tiny and not easy to use even with a stylus let alone with your fingers. Thankfully Acer have included their own larger QWERTY keyboard for text entry and this takes up just over a third of the lower part of the display. The \’keys\’ are well spaced and large enough to press with your fingers without having to resort to the stylus. Text entry is otherwise uneventful.

he Acer F900 is 12.85 millimeters thick, slightly bigger than the iPhone 3G\’s 12.3mm, and measures 117.5mm tall by 63.5mm wide. Some reports have said looks a lot like Samsung Electronics\’ Omnia. There is a resemblance, but the fact is many smartphones with large screens on the front look similar, and almost all are compared to the smartphone that initiated the touchscreen fad, the iPhone. The nice thing about the 3.8in screen on the Acer F900 is the sharp picture quality. The resolution on the screen is 800×480, which is the same as High Tech Computer (HTC)\’s Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2, and better than the 480×320 resolution on the iPhone 3G. That\’s a good thing, too, because you need a big screen with good picture quality for the Acer Shell user interface (UI).
