Acer Tempo DX900, F900, M900 And X960 WM Smartphones Announced
Acer have announced four new Windows Mobile 6.1 devices here at Mobile World Congress, the Tempo series, which consists of the Temp DX900, Tempo M900, Tempo F900 and Tempo X960. Each of the devices run Windows Mobile 6.1 (rather than WM6.5) and have touchscreens; the DX900 and X960 have 2.8-inch VGA panels, while the M900 and F900 have 3.8-inch WVGA panels. All four have 3G HSDPA, while the DX900 throws in a second SIM card slot (GSM triband only).
There's also GPS, WiFi b/g, a range of camera capabilities (3-megapixel on the F900, 3.2-megapixel on the DX900 and X960, and 5-megapixels on the M900) and Bluetooth 2.0. The M900 also has a full QWERTY keyboard.
No pricing or availability details on any of the four Tempo handsets, as yet. Considering the absence of WM6.5 – and Acer's silence on a possible upgrade strategy – we're reluctant to get too excited.
