teeTEE

can gsm arena advice acer or eten to make a sequel model or another double sim phone please. there no good dualsim phones out there.

tee

that makes two of us.

tee

yes, what are you waiting for. the dx900 has no rival. all the other double sim are only stnadby and not active. you can have at least 3 calls on that phone on both sims at one go, but speak to only one at a time. e.g. sim 1 has a call you pick that call, sim two has another call while speaking on sim 1 and its important, you put sim 1 on hold and answer sim2. while speaking on sim 2 another call comes in on sim sim1 and its on call waiting. making 3 calls at a go. no other phone can do this. i strongly advice buy it .if you don't want it buy it for me i will buy off you.

tee

where can i buy a screen for my dx900, just this minute dropped and cracked. or if anybody has an old one forsale

does anybody know what phone i can buy that is double sim and can beat the dx900. viewsonic and gigabyte are no match.

Hi, I have had bad battery lifetimes with my acer dx900 as well as everybody else around here. I fixed the problem by de-installing spb mobile shell 2 of the phone. It worked fine then: 2-3 day without charging. After a while I tried sbp mobile shell 3 (trial version). The DX900 worked better and faster with this version then with version 2. I even could not recognise a degresing battery life time with version 3. As far as I remember you can upgrade the "old" version of sbp mobile shell 2.x to 3.x for about 14$ isch on the sbp homepage - don't ask me for the link. By the way, I don't get payed by sbp for this comment :-( I hope that solved some of your problems.

RamzrAcer

Even not the perfect dual sim phone, i've installed slide to shutdown that come handy to easy soft reset when dx900 ram going under 20mb, s2p as superb mp3 wav player , riay voice recorder as standard wav audio recording and pneu ebook reader, all for peace of mind

irfan

i brought this dx900 phone from dubai..pls suggest me how to install software here

tee

leave on charge anytime you are not using the phone

nice phone works well, but could be much better if the operating and programme memory expanded. but no doubt a brilliant phone will recommend to anybody. will buy the sequel model anytime its out.

I�ve got second hand 1 year old plus dx900 from my fellow Malaysian, the power consumption surprisingly so fast compared with my dead ancient dopod 818pro, no secret it was the same product with eten v900 gloofiish but with some several acer�s own customized widget , I�ve installed - dihav notepad mainly to write personal diary, charlie-soft quick shutdown [ to restart , off ] , ageye g-alarm as superb alarm clock , cleanram 2.50 and meminfo ppc 3.3 for peace of mind. I�ve also found that acer�s easy keyboard make me feel like typing an android phone and my dx900 wmp can�t add file library eventhought only can recognized maximum 2 gb microsd card, to play mp3 album� have to do add file then play then in now playing then move next song to get automatic continous play the next song.

the process of connecting to the internet is too cumbersome and anytime you have to go online again you have to go through most of the process again. it doesn't have pdf viewer like the specs here says. the user guide which came with the phone doesn't talk about pdf. navigation by touchscreen is not that comfortable because the icons and text are small. the photos taken by the camera is dark no matter what settings you use. generally the phone is slow. on the whole, it's not worth the price.

neoposis

you can get 150h standby mode only meaning no text call wifi 3g gps :D

Jeroen

I bought it. I regretted that decision a lot. It is very slow, unstable, short battery life. After 1 year it didn't work properly anymore (could not hear callers half the time). Repair took three months. Didn't really solve the problem. Unfortunately there is still no good alternative if you want dual sim and exchange mail sync.

vazil

i bought it recently but the problem is the battery ...but i use only one sim so it stands one day.......its functions are good but it freezes when we are in an application and if we lock the device......

quick drained battery.. ±24 hrs only. always freeze even u press the on/off switch. must remove the bettery to make the fone function again. anyone knows how to make the battery last 150 hrs as the specs said...pls reply

Persevered with this phone for far too long, continual frustration was not worth it, freezing issues, substandard battery life & calls going missing. I purchased a Blu Speed Q410 for a sixth of the price that is far better value for money and performs better ass a phone

Eventhough it is an old unit, it is still one of the favorite phones to have. Simplicity is what this phone had: Coupled with Windows software, dual-sim, 3 megapixel camera with flash, big battery capacity, 3G & WI-FI connectivities and its cheap nowadays.

alo Ajith, go to www.acer.co.za then click on 'Service & Support'. yu will find a 'Download Center' from where yu can navigate to DX900 and download the manual under the 'Document' tab. its 10.3MB.

I bought this phone 2 weeks ago off Ebay and absolutely love it. I am using it in U.S. with ATT, and there's simply no other alternative. This is the ONLY phone with dual IMEI (not just dual switchable sim) with 3g, that will work with a U.S. carrier like ATT. Both sims are on for around 10 hours a day with moderate texting and calling. I check email every 30mins, BT is on for 3-4 hours a day. Skype works great over 3g. I recharge once every evening. Considering it is essentially 2 phones feeding off one battery, battery performance is admirable. I bought this phone for convenience of carrying one phone for personal and work matters - it does just that.

Anonymous

In fact the problem am facing with this phone are not different from most of the comments people have posted but the major one is the freezing. When it freezes the partner who is calling can hear that the calling is going through but you at the receiving end will not hear even when you remove the battery and restart the phone,you'll not see any miss call.The other partner will only accuse of not taking the call.

Just want to share some experiences here. I've using tis phone for 13 months, encountered bad experiences like u all... after uninstalled all my apps fr memory card and reinstalled it to the device memory, it runs smoothly now but battery issue still there (ya for a dual sim smart phone weak battery issue happens, moto XT800 faces same problem too), i assume the bad connection between the device and memory card caused the device hang occasionally..

How can i make call? i have acer dx900

Anonymous

OMG... it freezes suddenly and without warning or anything and to make the matter worse when it silently freeze you won't hear or notice any phone rings if someone calls you or sms you but the other person will hear ringing and assume you don't want to pick the call or you are ignoring... it happens to me many times and PISSED me off i wasted damn 400$ on this and still under warranty, the local service center r hopeless, i went to ACER service and no one likes the phone so why selling such phone and spoil ACER image?

unicorn678

This is the worst phone I have ever come across. I am just in the middle of sending it back to Acer AGAIN the first time I was told it was the battery and the said I should pay 40 GBP to have a new one or 50 GBP to have it returned I refused and they eventually sent it back un repaired. I did think of selling it on Ebay but that would be just passing the problem on to someone else. The battery hold a charge for 6-8 hours this is on standby without any use whatsoever. I have downloaded all the patches on the Acer site and still no improvement. I had high hope of this phone and did a lot of research into dual sim phones and feel ripped of with just how bad this phone is I have informed Acer that if they do not either, repair the phone properly, replace it with one that works or refund my money I will be going to the trading standards. Maybe some other people could also do this. Acer must realise how bad this phone is but yet they are doing nothing about it and while we all allow this to continue they have no reason to sort it out. This phone is not fit for the purpose for which it was sold. So can I suggest everyone with a problem reports this to either Trading Standards or even the TV program Watchdog. Maybe then Acer will get of its bum and sort out the problems

I just got rid of my Acer DX900 and bought new Samsung GT-B7722. it's far far better performance and very far better stability and more features and everything works very well, Dual sims, Video calls, WiFi, BlueTooth, internet, Dictionary...

yes, this Acer DX900 is a shame! how I wish could exchange this with a new one. its not worth the try. I had expected so much since it is Acer, but lo and behold, I am wrong! Hanged most of the time, so that I have to remove the battery to start it again. Internet is so slow. battery is good only for 1 day even after installing the updates. totally devastating and unreliable!!!!

Yes, battery life very poor even after installing (Patch_Acer_1.0_WM61_DX900 Fix Power Consumption), it last less than 20hrs with normal use making and receiving calls/sms.

Totaly unrealible,I used it for 6 months challenging myself how patient can I be!! Make yourself a favor and stay away of it! Pitty that a brand like ACER has such a "product"

while reading the articles and info i thing i have a great exp. buts its very horible. total disaster..slow..not working with in a week...i just keep this in one corner

Hi Its not the problem of the make, Its the problem of the OS. I think Acer should reconsider on the windows OS and shift to Android or other OS available in the market

Anonymous

I used the phone for over 2 weeks now!!! my best advice, don't take this phone even if they give you for free... it's REALLY HORRIBLE experience. totally not reliable and not worth your time or money.

Hi Can any one advise me which should be the dual sim cell phone I should buy? regards

RKS

I purchased the Acer DX-900 dual SIM PDA phone 4 months ago, with great expectation & belief that the model of Acer is a good phone�. But alas..this model is such a disaster.. never expected such a bad quality phone from such a reputed company as Acer. The phone runs on Windows 6 mobile version, but the capacity of this phone is so dismal. Some disastrous points of this pathetic phone: 1. It hangs up virtually every hour, you cannot make a call immediately as the phone is wondering what to do.. 2. You are not able to search phone numbers from the list, as the system hangs up.. 3. The Bluetooth keeps on searching searching & searching the laptop device, which is next to it. 4. The worst part is the phone looks practically fine, the SIM coverage is shown full� and someone calls you, damn you don�t even see that the person is calling you, as the system is hung up. 5. Battery life is terrible, just last some 8 hours maximum. I had a Samsung dual SIM mobile before this, and wanted an upgrade to a better phone. Purchase this Acer with a belief that this company has better products, but it�s just 2000 Dhs down the drain. This phone of ACER is just pure junk.. worth to be throw in the dust bin.. Shame on you ACER to bring up such a bad phone and making gullible fools of common people.. A very disgruntled customer..

I also faced the same problem... battery drains out extremely fast... hangs, especially auto lock of the system is activated. Took it to the ACER Service Centre in Singapore. They were also surprised to see the problem. They reinstalled the software twice but the problem was not resolved. Finding no other way I disposed it at a loss.

i baought this phone from singapor it really a good phone and i love it once it takes time to learn after it makes my life very easy now i dont need to keep my laptop with me all the time.

As i mentioned before, this is the worst device i've ever got. I bought it from DG Sharif Dubai amounting AED 1,099/=,on 3rd July 10, after 10 days continuesly trying, it did not work,bettary life is very bad, always freez, dual sim never worked, i given back to DG sharif for fixing thses problems but once i got it back there, its again didnt work, then i refused to get the replacemnt device as its THE WORST PHONE,given them back and got Gift vouchers of the same amount validity 6 months, thanks DG Sahrif for helping keep this phone with you.. my pricious opinion, DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. this is just waste your money, your time, and mentel toucher as well.

hi frnds... i got this phone frm sharaf Dg DCC in dubai... for first two days it took time for me to learn but after that now i became a master in handling it.... if you use the phone specs like wifi, bt and dual sim correctly...the battery life is gud....thanx for the guy who sold dis phone to me....IT WORTH FOR THE PRICE 1099 AED!!!

Why you want to Disable the arabic in your phone?

saleem

hi I have just bought this phone a day back from a mall where its was being sold at a discount... Iam not thru yet for being a judge on this phone as yet..using it just for about 48 hrs or so. The phone does tend to heat up if you speak for a longtime like say about 15mnts upwards and you can feel the handset going warm on the hands. The issue of battery draining fast can be resolved to some extent after making some settings on the display screen and go idle menus...this does increase the battery life to some extent. However I am stuck with a feature of the software that is english-arabic version. The phone supports both versions togeather and i have tried quite hard to disable the arabic version with no luck. Please if someone can help me on this?? The phone is a very high end/complicated/must have patience..kind of a phone and not for short fuse characters.

Dxer

It's really great phone guys, it's working very well now, yeah it was very very bad experience and i phoned the supplier to refund my money back after one week of use. but later i changed my mind and i decided to work with it. now it's smooth, i downloaded all important patches plus SPB shell/suite etc (registered versions). now the big step is: Reset your DX900 manually once per day, i do it every morning... enjoy

Acer DXA 900 ; the worst pda I bought till now Simple advice ; don't buy at all don't waste your money

Evan

Hi all. I have had enough of this phone. Sorry Acer but after one year I'm sick of it. There are few main problems: 1. The phone no longer recognises the touch screen and it requires up to 10 reboots/resets/battery removals to get the screen to respond to either the stylus or finger. This problem came on very suddenly and is persistent. 2. I cannot update the Windows 6.1 software or use the update function. Now I know that this is probably a Windows issue - BUT the phone is an Acer and that is what I bought. I didn't buy Windows, I bought an Acer phone and it should be Acer who is responsible for the software it installs on it's phones. 3. When using the internet and viewing web pages you cannot read them as it tries to fit the entire page on the screen and there is no zoom in function to allow you to actually read anything on the page. Really poor. The duel SIM function is good and useful but ulitmately the phone itself is let down because of the problems I mentioned above. I had called the Acer support line here in Singapore about the zoom function and they confirmed that zooming in far enough to allow you actually read a web page was not possible and that it was a common complaint.

TRD

Howdy all, I live in Dubai and I got mine from Sharaf DG recently (2/July/2010) two Sims, Video calling, 3G, Windows, ..etc for only AED 1099 which was awesome dude .. till I started using it! .. maaan it sucks! I'd like to think of myself as a Mobile expert cuz I started using GSM mobiles 16 years ago .. and even before that I used older generations of mobile phones .. I have experience with Motorola, Ericsson, AlCatel, Sony, Panasonic, LG, Samsung, I-mate, I-phone, HTC .. u name it maaan I know them all .. but this DX 900 .. I�ve never seen such a horrible device! I knew about this phone when it got released and wanted to buy it then but I thought it was little expensive at that time .. .. I even kept reading its reviews and user feedback which most of them were baaad .. but thought that the guys turning it down cuz they are not familiar with the MS windows PDAs and I thought that I can fix this S*** ... so When Sharaf DG reduced the price to almost the half, I got me one and started working on it .. I tried all the options and features.. downloaded all the fixes and ROMs (cooked and RAW) for almost five days .. but Da** .. this phone just sucks! It freezes every few minutes which requires removing the battery and re-installing it back, Battery life is BS even with nothing but GSM active. Da** slow .. acts crazy .. some times people used to call me but the phone doesn�t ring or show any missed calls even though the caller was able to hear a ringing tone. The 3G sucks ... Video calling bad ... slow picture process ... man I just wasted five days of my precious time fixing and trouble shooting this device till I got fed up and decided to return the phone back. I have to say: Thank you Sharaf DG for refunding my money, thumps up for the guys there. My precious advice: DO NOT even think of buying this phone .. I repeat .. DO NOT! I�m an IT professional and I know what im talking about!

My Opinion its a very good phone it has email check you can even install skype ant for free because skype can use wifi activesync or gprs :) but one but its a soft :( when i get this phone it was slow very glicthi and even frezze but after I installed another rom it works perfectly :) in my opinion if you like this style of phones or you want to try windows mobile buy it :)

The best deal you can get on a dual SIM (simultaneous standby) phone with wi-fi! Sometimes its operating system might be slow or cumbersome but a reboot solves the problem. Indeed low battery life but you will not find its features in any other non-china phone. Awesome sync with Outlook, nice two camera function (front & back) and the easiest solution for those that are tired to carry around two phones.

Sorry, I don't know, I was considering buying it, so was interested to see if you had upgraded it and if you had and were still having problems, that would be worrying.

@ dave could you pls tell me hoe to upgrade my phone from Windows ver. 6.1 to other better versions so that i can get rid of the bugs... Thanx..

Have you tried the suggested updates from Acer yet ? From what others have said, these should have gone some way towards solving the problem.

i would like to buy acer dx 900, from where i can

Thx for your post. Even though possibly subjective, it at least gave an invaluable 'red flag' to balance the weight of positive reviews out there. I had been considering buying but perhaps would now wait a bit longer. Cheers

I hate this unit. I just bought it 4 months ago & never used the unit properly. Unit is hang, freeze and even loosing battery charge without usig the unit at all. If u dont want to be disappointed for the rest of your life, guys pls dont buy this unit.

What about this phone, does it work well now after patch ? Thanks.

Henry

Can anyone tell me if i can' put windows mobile 7 on dx 900

Jonas

It depends on your settings. Read through fora and you will know how to make it work like a beast. I tested it with single 3G sim and it lasted about 3.5 days. Same as those single sim phones while better than other windows mobile phones. However, use the two sims, and it will last for about a day. I guess this should be how we should compare battery life with other phones. even china phones that have dual sims suppy 2 batteries. that's what acer should have done with their package.

Jonas

supports upto 16GB. Im using 4GB right now.

Jonas

Arman, having a windows mobile phone needs to be understood. even htc has its quirks and the likes. the shutoff is set in the memory thingy where if the memory reaches a certain limit (e.g. 3MB where it is the default) it would shut down to release hogged memory which is the same case as other phones. the only mistake that acer made was not to supply the package with 2 batteries instead of one. Unlike samsung where they provided 2 batteries for the i780. given that this is a dual sim phone, they should have provided an extra battery and a separate charger like samsung did so that you always have an extra battery on hand to make it through the day. I just bought a second battery and had the original one replaced at acer here in the philippines within warranty. as for the performance, it is good. as for the battery, it still is fair. using a different ROM. the 553 ROM still needs to be worked on but i dont think acer is looking at developing it. But being on call 24x7 and needing 2 sims at the same time, i cant let this go. the phone is feature rich and just needs to be patched. battery is the problem but i dont mind carrying a second batt instead of a second phone.

swimace

The upgraded battery firmware has prolong the usage of the battery that can last about 2 days

Robert

Can you please advise where you got the Upgrade to WM 6.5, and how you did it. Thank you

Rabi

you said in the specifications that the battery 150h but since i bought my phone thats the acer dx900 the battery dosnt last more than 12h, even though i dont use it much and i reduced the backlight, what should i do?

sonny

hi, pls, how and and where did you take the OS upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5? and also the firmware for the battery? thanks alot in advance.

Nickless

Please how to do updates it always says error in date & time, even turned to GMT time but doesnt work? And how to configure outlook for sync. Thanks

Blackcrowes

I don't agree about other people saying this phone is bad. But honestly, i feel the same way too before but once i got a hang of it, and updated the OS. It runs smoothly now and everything were better including the battery once i updated the firmware too. So i can say this dual sim pocket pc can make the competitors a run for their money. Its can be customize and optimize so you just need patience and lot of time to search for tips in the net. specially widgets, patch and updates. Its a boundless world out there in the web.

The battery first didnt last for 18 hours & every time i put memory card the mob. freezes & need to remove battery coz it doesnt respond to reset button.

They really improved the performance as now it didnt freeze since 4 days & battery lasts about day & half (240 minutes talking & always exploring it as its new, nearly 7 hours working on it per day). then i found that some GPS programmes i downloaded are not working coz they need newer version of microsoft. net framwork & Wholy Quran needed microsoft embedded visual basic runtime c++. I downloaded them but didnt install yet. Links to download all these are listed below but plz b4 proceeding go to start menu > programmes > utilities & do backup of the phone on memory card or in phone & copy it to laptop. this link for official Acer patches (battery, memory card & operating system) link for C++ runtime: or here (for microsoft. net framework 3.5) But now im also facing problems & hope u can help me: *Is there is no maps installed on this phone GPS? *With every restart (boot) my net configuration is lost & when trying to edit it again it says there is connection with this conbfig. but it doesnt work & i keep deleting all net configs. & start again ?? can any 1 help in those issues?

I bought this Acer last month in Jakarta, the battery only last less than 1 day. after one week, it started having problem with memory usage, very very slow when opening file,even for contact numbers. on the 2nd week, it's always freeze when internet connection is active, and to make it worst the reset button is not working when freezing, so you have to remove the battery to make it on again.. now on the 4th week, i cannot use anymore, because i cannot receive any call, didnt have response when i press the incoming call button, and my contact numbers list did not appear on the screen, only search bar appear without any detail..

BETA version meaning possibly new hardware? even with the pathes this thing will not last two days with 2 sims on. though this phone has mostly everything in it the product support i may say is still weak. i bought mine for almost 4 months now and currently am having wifi connection problems(i did not have this before). i've been seaching the whole web and seems not to find anything to help me find a solution for my problem. hope i can get some answers from this thread.

Anonymous

This phone is a BEAST! It has everything. As far as the battery problems you are mentioning this is solved with the BETA version. Mine lasts 3 1/2 days in standby and 1 1/2 days talktime which is, in my opinion excellent if you take into account the recources this phone consumes. Also the build quality is very high. I give this phone 9.5/10.

Smchai QUint

I use the Acer DX900 since 6 Month. The first thing I did was to install the recommended Updates from Acer. The Battery does not hold a whole day while having 2 SIM, GPRS and GPS enabled, but this is also a Problem of any other PDA Phone with GPS. I am happy with the Phone and I never had another Problem with it. Swearing at it, but not telling the Problems will never ever help. So some of you should start to explain the Problems.

I have bee nhaving this phone for the last 6 months and am very happy with the phone. Ido agree that the battery will last for one day, but I challenge anyone to find a WinMo phone that will last more than 2 days... I have also got Garmin installed and am using this to sync with my MS Exchange server over wifi at home. If you are ok with flashing on new ROMS, this has plenty of support on the web. I am running this on a custom WinMo 6.5 and it is great ! This is also the only phone with a dual SIM and 3.5G. All the other dual sim phones are non 3G. The HSDPA speed is also absolutely great. I have set this up as a Wifi hotspot and use this as the wirelesss hotspot at home under 3.5G data. If you can get hands on this phone and if you are ok with fiddling with your phone, this is the only phone to get.I needed this phone as I travel a lot and wanted to have 2 sims active. This supports it great ! and I wanted to have 2 sims active when at home, one for calling and one for data, this also works great.. there is still no phone out there that can do the same... Highly recomended...

I am using the phone since last 45 days and after upgrading to Acer's latest ROM for India (Ver 700) its become an excellent phone. With medium to heavy usage charging is required every night. But then all windows mobile are battery eaters. I am pretty satisfied with this phone. Only glitch - If the second SIM was also made GPRS enabled it would have been flawless. Moreover there are many good third party ROMS available at eten-users.eu by Bruno Martins and others. Some of them are exxcellent light ROMS and will make dx 900 fly.

Somchai

you should have enough courage to write a review with your name. I have a DX900 and the battery life is not much different from other GPS enable PDA Phones! It is a good working Device, also if you need to press a little bit harder at the Touch Screen. Is it possible that you never ever had one of this Phones in you Hand?

This is hands down the worst phone ever made, it is completely insane in its usability, makes no sense at all. battery life is a joke, everything is slow as and just for your info, none of the patches work to fix any problems.

I bought this phone a fortnight ago. Using this with no complaints. True, battery is to be charged every night but then this is a nature of almost all windows PPCs. I use my phones 8-10 calls , a few SMS , an hour of GPRS, a few minutes of GPS, few minutes of music listening and at 8PM the battery still shows 15-20% after charging the phone overnight and removing charger at 6.30AM. By default the ROM ver A147-40-556-wwe-in is installed in the phone. I have installed nothing except HSMMC patch for rectifying the problem of device.exe eating RAM. To improve RAM I have removed SPB mobile shell and my RAM at booting shows between 32-34mb and stabilises around 24-26mb after few hours of usage. I have also uninstalled a few more default apps freeing the phone memory. Overall a good phone with only battery problem (which is a standing problem for more or less all windows mobile) which is understood to some extent as there are two radios for keeping two SIMs active. Further, let us hope things will improve as days go by with support from acer. Infact acer has launched a new ROM for this model (exclusively for india) on 09.09.2009 in their India site which I am downloading now for updating.

Battery life is worst of it's kind, standby time is with in the day, talk time is lesser, but who cares as long as you have car cigarette lighter charger, i've asked around and there is no one selling it, so i've used the alternative which is for the vx series of motorola and it works perfectly.

I wentt to Singapore and receive two units. Unpacked and all set up the units work great. Issues found so far are few. I want to use my fingers ONLY so some menus are really hard to se and I have noticed with fring and some oher applications I have to reset the device. I paid 500USD for two.

i just bought the acer dx900...true like what some say, the battery goes flat easily... hmm if i have know it earlier, won't buy it at all.... seriously one phone call and the battery going flat after just a full charge...u believe it?!!??!! maybe that's why acer give us an extra battery!! Disappointed

That's a bug in Windows Mobile. Look for a fix online.

Unfortunatly the battery is the bad thing of this device. I have one and i think Acer has to do something about that. If i could go back i wouldn't buy it... Perhaps new and better batteries come to market to avoid this problem....let's wait :((

I just bought this phone but the windown live messenger always show zero contacts online when there are many people online on my msn. I reset the phone and log off and on many times, but it doesn't help, anyone has any idea how to solve this issue?

mmm...yes, the butter is of utmost importance.

The Most important part is insufficiency in Buttery!! This Specs needs power of a PC or Laptop to work!! I think it should have an atomic buttery!!:D not a Standard battery, Li-Ion!! you can not hold a device which needs charging every 5 hours!!it is like more to a PSP not a Mobile which should have maintain charge at least 24 hours...otherwise it is the ONE!!

Artanis

Wait a minute, is this Eten's DX900? Its is! Well, at least it has a name tag 'Acer' and its a plus.

7 hours,,,thats frustating for such good specs...

luis soares

ankit

carrie_linda

399 Pounds,,,Hmmm,,,thats bit costly ,,guys in UK who brought the piece should give some feedback about this phone. ...anybody listening....

Tapio

That's more than an Acer Aspire One! Seriously, 399 pounds is too much, especially considering the specifications of the phone. Perhaps the price is high because it is new. The price should go down f a s t ...

If both sim is working at the same time, its a great phone like Samsung D880 Duos. But no FM Radio.
