  • This is the worst mobile i ever used. I am regretting my decision of purchasing this mobile.

  • Whoever want to waste their money - please buy it. I had purchased this phone from Dubai within 1 week screen stoped working. After long correspondence and follow-up with Acer, i got it replaced from service agent after 3 months - 27th June precisely. Today again stopped working after 2 week use. Please do not buy if you want a reliable phone - go better established models

  • How did you made x960's touch good as HTC ?

  • i don't know what you are talking about. I have this phone and it is so smooth on touch also. beats all HTC in its class. I have used lot of windows mobiles and have deep understanding. This is best value for money. Yes off course, it was not by factory default, i have made it with my R&D.

  • It's very ugly in look....should modify it....

  • there is no earphone ?

  • dear i am here in dubai,, and when i have arabac sms i can not read and i try to make arabac but i can not can u help me , and tell me what i have to do,, pls..

  • ok phone but fragile on touch screen. worst repair service support. i understand Acer has widrawn this model within 6 months from launch in india.

  • I am finding my acer x90 a knightmare, my backlight has now decided not to work so i can't see anything, getting on the net is tricky, it never stores the information on micro card,when i turn it off everything goes back to default so i then have to start from scratch cause it won't save any changes, I am so ****** off with it.

  • its cute

  • Not bad. I had it but the screen is a bit small for me. I am a heavy PPC user. So I opt for a bigger screen. If you are not a heavy user, this phone is cheap and can satisfy most PPC users' needs.

  • please inform me can i use it internet on my laptop as modem please help me thx [email protected]

  • I have it in use from November. is a good cheep phone. can run slowly all the applications!!! for the most of the applications they run it satisfies. I can giving a 7.5/10 I hope that will helping you.

  • does any one have this phone? please tell me about this phone more? are u satisfied ?

  • The screen-card itself received scratches.... how is it possible??

  • nice phone but its really slow. touch screen selection is poor. Need to restart often as the phone hang very often. Have to clear the application all the time to get better performance.

  • Guys, could anyone please let me know how can I remove the password for my device, I know my current password but want to remove. please help..........

  • i like this phone very much ..i feel its a complete phone ...bt is it really slow?because i have taken a demo n i also felt it is slow..doea it bother when in use???

  • I have also installed SBP Shell, its working good & a bit faster. Acer E-shell is alos installed but m not using right now. coz its 3D look is a bit slow but its beautiful. SBP shell is free and you can download from

  • well its a good phone and im working on the options coz its my first window mobile. all things working with me i m happy

  • Hmm, I am using acer x960, its true its slow but its a great phone, a complete MAN, fully loaded business phone. I can say full value for my money.

  • hey guys i have an acer x960 and i installed dr.web but it stopped respond the touch so can any one help me? if there is one please this is my e-mail [email protected].

  • really nice.. for business purpose.. good..

  • Im an Acer X960 user, the acer user UI is kinda slow, try unload it and install SPB mobile shell 3. And everything works wonderfully. its a great phone, especially the GPS, i can connect to the satellite within 20 seconds.

  • this phone is very poor extremly slow acer OS is different but not great it may be better but the lag in the phone operation makes any animated OS features a real chore most of the app didn't work i.e. youtube player. After only 1 week of use [if you could call it use] I dumped the acer OS [shell] and installed SPD shell this livened the phone up a bit but it still freezes often may be due to winMo 6.1 ?? also found that when battery gets to 70% charge performance really drops off the price is very good but that's not really a reason for buying as you would be better paying a few pounds more and not being frustrated with your purchase. Battery life poor this is a charge every night machine if you want to use any features the GPS was a good feature and google maps. call quality I found to be poor over all the lack of RAM makes general use a pain as you have to constantly lear apps from RAM to enhance performance however I think this is partly a WinMo problem only enhanced by the poor spec DON'T BUY

  • the 3G information for this phone appears to be wrong?

  • it is good phones

  • this is a good phones

  • it's good for men but it's so slow and the sound is bad. but the cam is good.

  • software problems already. Been a week. Less compared to expectations. Touch screen selection is a problem. good battery back up though.

  • Hi , acer does not have any mobile shell. the company only install spb mobile shell(3rd party application). which its also have its own pro and cons just like htc TF3D.

  • In mumbai price is today 16,000Rs only

  • Very bad experience, need to restart very often and software problems follow one another..till now, abt one month still can't solve..pls don't buy..i going for htc..

  • Pros: Good Screen Resolution , All in one device fro less price. Cons: Bad build Quality

  • acer shell interface is better than htc touch flo.guyz highly recommended

  • i like this phone

  • i have used this phone now for a week and till now its workin fine..good speed,good battery back up,nice sleek and smart design.well done acer

  • Hi guys, did a simple review on the Acer Tempo X960 Check out the full review here Comments are very much appreciated!

  • I like these specs. Decent price too. Probably won't get it however because it doesn't have 2 features I really want... 3.5mm audio jack and RDS Radio.

  • Looks like Atom Life, i expect this phone have bigger RAM at least same with HTC Diamond. poor... think twice to buy...

  • Frankly I'd buy any Acer phone for the brand only. I've had very positive experiences with their products and can't wait to see them brig out an Acer branded phone in Romania. We did see the Eten family of mobile phones so I'm hoping that Acer will consider this market too. However, unlike Eten, I expect slightly better pricing from Acer (Eten had some great phones, but they were always way more expensive than, say, Nokia; the same goes for HTC, Mio and Asus). I just hope they role these phones out at the quality standard that I have come to expect from Acer: incredible price-quality ratio!

  • Hi, does anyone rate ACER? Do you think this product will sell? I like the design.

  • First!
