admin — Tue, 31 May 2011 18:12:03 +0000

Acer, one of Microsoft’s new Windows Phone hardware partners (alongside Fujitsu and ZTE), has showcased what seems to be its very first WP-based handset: the Acer W4. Running Windows Phone Mango , the Acer W4 features a 3.6 inch WVGA display, HSPA (900/2100 or 850/1900 – perfect for AT&T, isn’t it?), Wi-Fi, DLNA, Bluetooth 2.1, a 5MP camera, 8GB of internal memory, and a single-core 1GHz processor. Upon seeing these specs, I immediately thought: hey, someone should remind Acer we’re in 2011 now, not in 2010.

At the moment, HTC is the company that launched the highest number of Windows Phone 7 devices (five of them – if we don’t count the HTC Arrive and the HD7S, which are merely variations of other models). More HTC WP7 handsets will be certainly released soon, and one of them may have a 16MP camera with dual LED flash. Apparently, HTC has already made a promo video for its future 16MP smartphone.
