Acer's DX900 will run Windows Mobile and feature dual-SIM cards
The Acer DX900 is rumoured to run on Widows Mobile with Dual SIM card functionality
Published on Feb 3, 2009
It has been leaked that one of the handsets from Acer's new smartphone division will be called the DX900 and will run on the Windows Mobile operating system.
The previously unknown DX900 features dual SIM card slots and will allow simultaneous connection to two networks, so for example, if you wanted to use one SIM for calls and one for internet/data usage, or one for travelling and one for at home then now you can.
Not intending to wow with dual-SIM alone, msmobiles.com also revealed that the handset will also feature a VGA display (size unspecified), Wi-Fi, and GPS.
Connectivity-wise, the DX900 will be packing 3G/HSDPA capability as well as the slower GSM/EDGE alternative.
Possibly one of the only down points is that the on board camera is only 3-megapixels which might seem a little below-par if Samsung do as predicted and announce a 12-megapixel cameraphone.
We're not sure which version of the Microsoft OS Acer will run on the DX900 but there's a good chance that it will be the newer Windows Mobile 6.5 which is due to be announced at the same show as further details of the upcoming Acer smart phone range; namely, Mobile World Congress 2009.
All will be revealed at MWC over the coming weeks and we'll keep you informed of any updates as we learn more.
