*Latest update :









The new Acer smartphone with the soul of a tablet perfectly combines the capabilities of a smartphone with a tablet-like format: a huge 4.8″ widescreen with a 21:9 aspect ratio and a super cool metal chassis.




Acer today debuted an Android-powered smartphone with gigantic 4.8-inch screen and unique 1024 x 480 resolution. At a global event in New York City, the Taiwanese manufacturer showed off a number of cutting-edge products, including the unnamed handset, which is said to launch in April of next year. Billed as a convergence product ("100% smartphone, 100% tablet"), the device is said to feature :

Android 2.3 Gingerbread

4.8″ screen -- with high resolution of 1024×480 and 21:9 aspect ratio

Physical buttons -- 4 keys: Home, Search, Back, and Menu

Dual cameras -- 8 Megapixel, 720p rear with LED flash and 2.0 Megapixel front

Six-axis motion sensing -- gyroscope plus accelerometer, probably

720p video recording

1GHz Snapdragon processor

Bluetooth 3.0

802.11n WiFi

SLOL


But this phone shud be suitable for those who prefer big screen but lazy wanna carry a 7" tablet around

Just think E71 but bigger

Agreed. My Acer laptop is falling apart too, but how come :

HTC -- Taiwan
Acer -- Taiwan

So much difference

More choices for those who prefer big screens, easier to see ma

I think built quality should be same rite, all made in China. But hopefully this all metal phone will prove us wrong

LOL

I think this phone should be quite heavy compared to the Streak due to it's all metal body.. Some will love it some will not

WWanna be the first to try? Sell yr Droid X n get tis one la bro
