Acer neoTouch - User Reviews

  • my phone does not want to work..when you put it on charger it will even take the whole day with the red lamp flashing

  • Acer neoTouch S200/F1 has great specifications almost like htc hd2 but in camera function htc hd2 is 3x better than s200 although both have 5MPixels but acer camera preview is bad, apart from that is fast phone

  • totally bakwaas phone, i am using it battery backup time 2hours .

  • i sell my acer neotouch s200.who want to buy?

  • how do i update my os???

  • any body help me about acer s200 bettry timing.

  • Hi. How can I deactivate Predictive text?

  • am in nigeria, and am finding it difficult to download some applications, such as spb mobile shell, can someone help me out pls.

  • I can't find, how to make sound recording for acer s200, can anybody advise,...

  • hello friend, please solve my problem. when i want to play video, but cannot and then appear "the source filter for the file could not be loaded" so please advise,..

  • You got conn already. My s200 is with the stylus. Sue them!!

  • I bought the phone just to find out the box came without a styllus and the company where i bought it doesnt want to believe that the phone had no styllus it hurts me.

  • Guys... Anybody knows where to buy this phone online? And of course the site is trustable...

  • if registered with USA(not Indian) then its updated or else no.

  • better not. i had this phone and within the first week, the screen hung. following that, my phone gets pretty laggy and gets hung on textin screen or the whole screen will turn white/black for a few seconds. i've sent it for repair THREE times and the fourth time, acer gave me ACER LIQUID.

  • why people are not showing interest in this cool phone with high specifications? htc phones with the same specifications are much higher in price? I am going to buy one.

  • does 6.5wm can upgrade to w7? anyone knows?? tq

  • hgjhgjjjjj

  • this is very good phone. the only problem i had, was under direct sunlight - then screen is hard to see. but the functions and possibilities of this phone are great. the phone never hang and it's fast.

  • GSM arena should mention that this phone does standard without third party software incall-recording (through the acer dialer). It's the only phone advertised with this function.

  • yes, sometimes it got hang ,,

  • people by iphone 'coz its looks cool,, and it's had been publicly announced to media ,, while acer didnt publicly announced to media,,, thus, most people dont know the function of this phone,,

  • the applicatios are superb ,,, maybe u didnt travel enough the phone so u didnt find any goods in the phone,,, for me,, the applications are very good,, and the battery is ok,, ur phone very fast dead that is because u opened net browser, wifi ,, as to others too,the battery fast to dead 'coz of the wifi ,,

  • no,,this phone doenst support videocall

  • no,, it's made in taiwan,, and of course taiwan is some of china,,, but,their productions are really different,, taiwanese products are really awesome,,,

  • I`m interested in surfing the net with a mobile. Does it hang or freeze while surfing the net? I`ve got a Omina 2 and it hangs quite a lot. I`m thinking of selling my Omina 2 and getting Neo touch.

  • the best of the best!!!!!!!

  • i am using skype with this phone it's bs you can't use it. don't go download from official site, google the installer

  • Excellent FM Radio receiver inside. It is works fine without wired headset (plug-in), if the signal of stations are strong, than you can listen it on the (built-in) speaker...

  • Neo upgradeable to W7 ?

  • Yes it does have internal gps antenna. Use destinator and go to gps signal, then go to settings and press " find gps"

  • Very fast phone, it can handle easy any kind of heavy programmes. I think it's faster in many cases than hd2 which I owned before that. It sure worth it's money. Gps is very good as well. Also don't compare it's speed in browsing using Internet explored but opera 10, it works like a charm. I think it's fair to recomend it to those who don't want to spend a very high amount of money for a very fast windows mobile.

  • i got 1 its good looking, its says made in china is it?

  • for arabic, install Hirad Multilingual Beta 1.0

  • Skype does not support this OS. Even new windows mobile OS owners will not be able to download Skype. Free open market download to any OS is not available anymore. Skype now want to sell it`s app, but only to OS manufactures. Nokia , China Mobile and Verzion Wireless have contracted Skype and is available on the phones.

  • ive just ordered 1 of these beauties

  • how to dowload arabic language in this phone plase help..thank u so much

  • yes ,

  • u mean skype can be use ? but i have tired to download many times .. it says this phone cant ! pls share your method. tnxs ! :)

  • its a good phone but unfortunately it is a great disappointment that skype cant be download. its just puzzle me for a new model ! hope acer can do something about it ! thnxs !

  • Love the phone for everything else!!!!! Iphone doesnt touch this phone..... with there 1 app at a time nonsense. ... i did the same as you with fido and having problems with the APN settings etc. Did you figure out how to get the data/internet settings setup on this phone????

  • I have one of these and i don't think it has an internal GPS antena.. But it's a great phone for the price!

  • hmmmm i want to get this mobile plz tell me whats yje price in bahrain plzzzz

  • anyone know this phone have internal gps antena or not?

  • using skyfire browser flash content from internet can be played

  • Yep this phone supports flash

  • do this phone have adobe flash player??f NO,can we install it??need answr...i really admire this phone..

  • Very nice phone everything is good except one is batter. It is short life battery

  • After reading the ARENA REVIEW when this phone came out, i hisitate, if i should buy it or not, fortunately i did bought it and been using it for the last 2 months now, the truth is i love this phone specialy after ACER had the update on the ROM, which fixed every mistake ARENA mintioned on there review. the most i like about it that it comes almost stripped of any application other than WM6.5 and few application from ACER, means i was free to download all the application i like. and the net is full of them, so that you stuff you phone with very usfel application, more over dont worry about slowdown, this phone has the fastest peocessor you can ever imagin. and the price is very resonable.

  • very nice phone

  • anybody can tell me,this phone can make the video call or not?Thank

  • skype? for pocketpc or?

  • yes u can use skype

  • skype will work

  • 1- it's 1350 mah, which means it is above the average phone battery life, should be similar to other 3.5" touch screen devices such as iPhone. 2- YES, it sports Windows mobile OS, which means you can install almost anything with full functionality including Skype, Dixv/Xvid player, messengers etc...

  • Hi guys,I have 2 questions please 1- what time is the real battery life,and 2- if I put skype on this phone can I make scype videocall or no? If somebody can help me I will be happy Thanks!

  • i have at&t and this phone, but cant seem to get the mms settings to work. u wrote it works fine and very fast. can u tell me what settings u are using. thanks

  • Most likely you have to set it up with the GPRS and MMS setting for your provider. You should either contact them or look at their web page for the correct settings.

  • Need Help! I just picked up this phone and it seem to work very good for calling, Text and Wifi connectivity but I couldent make it work using my Network providers Internet. I turned on everything that has to be turned on to make it work but it still tells me I am not connected to the internet. I am in Canada and using Fido as my provider for call and intenet. Can somebody help me to set it up properly? Is there any third party software for me to down load? Thanks.

  • oh and the g-sensor utility is not stock.. sorry. You have to download and install the f900 g-sensor cab from xda-developers. Works great. I now have the htc hero theme w/5 customizable desktops on home screen as well as the sweet carousel lol. I'm loving this phone.

  • Correction: You can use opera and skyfire in landscape. I just realized the G-sensor has a settings menu which allows you to specify which applications can be changed to landscape by turning the device sideways. So good to discover that little nugget of joy. FYI --> I use att 3g in chicago and burbs area. Full bars and my internet download speed is 400kbps faster than iphone 3gs.

  • I actually have this phone. I played around with the HTC HD2 rom and I don't like manilla so I went back to standard 6.5 w/spb mobile shell to get carousel and the android like multiple screens. It tons faster than the 3gs which i just sold off and lets not forget it actually plays most media files. It has GPS and i was just using it with IGO Inav software today. Skyfire works and I can watch justin.tv if i feel the urge. I get 3g hsdpa full bars in my area (chicago & nw suburbs). The resistive screen is excellent and reacts well to touches. I don't have to pound on the screen and it is well optimized for my fingers. The keyboard takes getting used to but it works really well once I got used to having to actually press on the screen. In landscape mode, the keyboard rivals iphone and android capacitive devices. I've tried both kinds and that's how i feel about it. That was my biggest worry and I gambled correctly on the neotouch. I am sooo glad to be rid of itunes. Its bulky and it slows my computer down at the most inconvenient times. Lets not forget to mention it wouldn't let me restore the phone (right when i was about to sell it), B/c apparently apple has decided to force people to restore to newest firmware WTF. The bad --> My desktop still refuses to install the RNDIS drivers to sync w/WMDC on win 7 RC. Works fine on my laptop w/Win 7 full version and I can sync on the desktop using xp virtual mode no problem. The battery seems to last only about a day right now but I need to break it in. B/c i install and uninstall so many programs and stuff, I have to use the reset button every once in a while. (if Iphone could do that I'd have to restart too and in fact i've had it freeze many many times.) Same will go for HTC HD2... you'll have to reset it many times. The stock homescreen is useless , but all you have to do is uncheck the acer homescreen in home options. opera and skyfire don't recognize accelerometer but that will get fixed. So, no landscape except in IE which is much better b/c flash and speed, but still slow. Media player doesn't know the difference b/w ringtone and songs so you end up with them mixed together unless you organize em yourself. The video recording framerate is not good in darker settings and its excellent in relatively brighter settings. (this will be the exact same on HTC HD2, I am sure of it.) FM radio works just fine w/out the headphones, but the headphones antenna will let it work better indoors. Browsing speed is very fast in opera 10 beta and probably rivals safari in speed if not faster. If you put skyfire in the mix, the iphone browser falls way behind. Safari does zoom and scroll better, but scrolling isn't alot better and zoom is more accurate for columns and things of that nature. The verdict. As far as i'm concerned the neotouch is the best phone for the money period. Next you're looking at nexus one and n900 and maybe xperia phones. You can't beat the hardware and though the finish isn't the best, we're not trying to make a fashion statement; we want usability and flexibility and SPEEEEEED!!!..... and of course, flash. Since adobe has been promising flash for the last 2 years w/no sign of it coming out, WM is your only means of flash through skyfire. Hope this helps you guys settle the flame war.

  • Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know that the neoTouch received its own forums over at Xda Developers this week: So hopefully there will be better dev support for it going forward.

  • This model does not come with video calling.

  • hi guys, to all the users, does this phone support video calling? I have been getting conflicting info/advice, some say it does, such as the review some say it doesn't, can anyone clarify?

  • Love the speed, it is even faster then my girl friend's iphone 3gs. Haven't tried it against the HD2, but the price difference is huge.. this phone is good for those who want speed but don't want to spend too much

  • Yes built in ringtones are low in volume but I used high pitched ringtones, sound is very good. I would sugges u to use high pitch sounds.

  • Stupid display color!

  • i have been using this phone for about 3 weeks now, in fact i am so pleased with it, very powerful, fast and sleek, it is cool, one problem is the ringtone voulum is very low even after updating the software, even though still i will not give it up for any other one.

  • Regret. i really feel regret. overall design is good. the applications sucks. touch-screen keypad it's ok. battery very fast dead. ringtones gotta set different in the file. the more i say, the more i feel regret. to me, 3star out of 10.

  • not worth buying this phone as this is the worst phone I have ever used in my life., I was fooled by picking this phone in case of my htc touch hd.my hd was far more better in performance and features .the main drawback is the battery backup and speed.,

  • Acer neoTouch is cool man.....

  • i own this Acer f1 and so far the performance is good.. there is no silicone case available in the market as its still new and just launched..and one more thing honestly the battery can't stand longer if you use it frequently as it use 1Gb processor...faster and use more battery..try to use power saver..

  • Well, as you read the specs above you (can) see, despite the fact that it is 3.1 mm bigger in length and 0.9 mm in width though its 0.3 mm thinner, the Acer NeoTouch outtakes your iPhone 3GS at just about any aspect, including looks and adding more to it with the HSUPA 5.76 Mbps technology wich Apple failed to introduce to its market leading smartphone.

  • Anyone here know where to find acer neotouch silicone case ? I dont like leather cases because it becomes bulky so im looking for the silicone casing. Also i notice only iphone have alot of fancy case available than other phone models.

  • Are this Akhtar and other guys are getting paid by ACER Company to write some good reviews. I think the first person is right, because who has face problem only knows it.

  • Plz think over before investing Rs 32000/-. The biggest problem is the battery gets drain within half an hour. Or if u see half of the movie on ur device the battery is zero.

  • I have both iPhone 3GS and Acer neoTouch. The Acer is much faster.

  • It's just simply GREAT

  • it has faster cpu then iPhone but it works still slower then iPhone...

  • sure...this fone really looks impressive...

  • can anybosy please tell me which phone i will buy if neo touch is delivering bad experience (except iphone3gs)

  • Have you try it before, no doubt it equip with 1G CPU but it's damn slow. We cannot blame the CPU and it is most likely OS problem

  • Bro, this phone totally kicks Iphone's ass. Faster processor, bigger display, better camera and all that MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than Iphone. I don't know why people buy Iphone anymore.

  • to compare go to compare option and see :))

  • Guys , someone pls tell me , how it compares to Iphone 3g

  • Hallo Dexter .. I have this Acer phone in mind .. It's specs seems to be really good .. but I got 2 questions that I wish if you can answer .. 1. Does it use a regular TV-Out cable ?? or it needs some Acer special cable ?? 2. The overall quality of the device .. i.e. the materials used to build it and is it firmly held together .. what would you give it out of 10 ?? Thanks in advance ..

  • i just read the review... its a great phone for the price... but i am wondering how does the neotouch do "tv-out"... if its just a standard cable it'd be easy to buy...

  • why buy this instead of htc hd2? cus Acer neotouch S200 works with USA 3G! hd2 is like a porche, but top speed max out at 55mph! hahha

  • Why would anyone buy this - over the HD2? Maybe if it was an Android (I doubt it has customised and tweaked the Winmob6.5 as good as the HD2) - and why a resistance screen?

  • isnt it nice to say craps wearing a mask as "anonymous". Acer phones is not for fools that wear mask! haha

  • Acer Neo Touch a Worst Smartphone i had.Seriously. A bad experiane for trusting a new comer i mean the battery back up a phathetic,when the phone rings,It feels like you are useing those cheap chinese phones which you get in the grey market.CAMERA QUALITY, 5MP? pleaseee , A VGA camera would have a much better picture quality.Feel and the plastic finish of the phone sucks. I bought this phone on the 2nd day of its launch for INR 35,000 in (Bangalore) & was very very Unhappy with its performance (in just 2 days) as i 've told above the reasons.I rushed to the distributor and returned it back for 5,850 INR less. I was very much frustrated with its performance.Thank god i didnt throw it in the trash bin. Improve your quality Acer People.You need to be careful with the Indian Market , Business people just dont get satisfied with what ever trash you sell.

  • I don't understand on the manual it says it can record videos in 3GP, MPEG-4, H.263, AVI but the video playback is 3GP, MPEG-4, H.263, H.264 so can it play avi or not o.o idk why would there be the option of recording in .avi if it cant playback someone answer please Reference/source :

  • Acer neoTouch S200 videoreview

  • you mean 1Ghz and 512 mhz processors???

  • Internal memory NOT A GOOD IDEA. I had Nokia N95 and had like TONS OF STUFF ON IT... went accross Canada on my car and had pictures... all memories GONE WITH A BLINK OF AN EYE!!! I got busy and never got a chance to back up my phone which i will never forget again. Now I think having Micro sd or external memory is really a good idea!!!

  • The Acer neoTouch S200 is one of the latest handsets of the manufacturer and belongs to the high-end range of Windows phones (runs Windows Mobile 6.5). Equipped with 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and huge 3.8-inch touchscreen with high resolution, the device is aimed at exacting customers that don�t mind spending a bit more to get uncompromising functionality.

  • Hey Netboy - Absolutely agree with you - Why can't all these people stop with the whineing and just charge the damn thing every night while you are asleep. How difficult is that!

  • Why dont they have hard disk like in iphone? If they have good internal memory (at least 8gb) that would be a lot better. card is an option but still internal memory would be very great.

  • Simply dont buy from HTC directly buy it from a reputable reseller or a Network by Pay As You Go. About the battery it is truly $hit even my WM5 phone lasts longer (HTC Wizard).

  • snap dragons will be dwarfed when compared with the upcoming nvidia tegra chipset which enables 100 times less battery usage, enables full hd recording, 12 mega pixels high end camera, full hd video playback on hand held moblies as well on hdmi unit... hd video playback of 30 hrs and audio of 130 hrs.... SO BYE SNAPDRAGON.. u have to do better then this!

  • No video call? A waste of high speed data transfer feature!

  • Great phone Acer!!! Eten made a great phone! Eten make the new Acer phones, look at the Eten phones, you can't see a new device. :) This phone can compete HTC and even Iphone.

  • HTC does not recognize warranty. I have stop supporting HTC eversince thier 1st Touch Phone. I deserve better than this.

  • beautiful phone and great specs. i believe this is the first snapdragon phone to be released [not just announced]. waiting for a review since acer phones not so well known.

  • It says 1 Gb Processor, I believe HTC is 512mb

  • Why no video calling?

  • i have no complains about battery life. i always charge my cellphone daily! you charge your home cordless phone, toothbrush daily, y cant you kids charge your cellphone daily!?

  • Huge Screen Blinding Fast Processor Weak Battery...

  • great phone acer!!!

  • no, it's not a htc hd . read the spec. read!

  • Snapdragon is essentially qualcomm's variation of the cortex processor. I believe I saw some benchmarks that actually had it running slightly faster than the cortex a8.

  • nor do i but windows mobile 6.5 has canged my mind

  • Check the prices also, the HD2 will probably end up almost double the price of this one. Plus, not everybody wants a huge phone in their pocket.

  • but they have terrible difference in price!!!!!

  • Don't like windows mobile!

  • HD2 is much more better in Hardware/Software. Check HD2 Hardware: RAM, Display Size, MultiTouch,GPRS/EDGE class,Radio HD2 Software: HTC Sense UI, Upgradable WM7, xda-developers "support" HTC vs Acer; HTC have release much more WM phone compare to Acer, so. so, buying a good phone not only read on the spec...

  • Does this phone have Internal GPS? cause in other websites just say it has A-GPS Thanks

  • Simply wonderful. HTC can only clean his shoes. The HTC are almost always bad and unreliable. Almost always Htc care centers do not recognize the problems in warranty, at least in Italy. Acer is certainly another story.

  • Not exactly,it cames with double the power processor,LED Flash and Winmo 6.5,so its better!

  • Actually it looks more like the HTC Touch HD. Same screen size and specs.

  • You made a GREAT phone Acer, well done!!! This phone can compete HTC Touch HD, or HTC Touch Pro. :) Eten make the new Acer phones.

  • Niice! I think is better size than HD2

  • Why Snapdragon? Doesn't WinMo support ARM Cortex, which is MUCH more powerful?

  • this phone looks good and i am sure will be better function wise too. i have a acer laptop and its much better in performance than dell atleast. thanks acer i love you :)

  • Looks so much like HTC HD2 but no as ggod as htchd2. Cant any of this 4.8' come with better camera

  • So this is just the HTC HD with an Acer badge?
