An Ace of a Phone: Acer BeTouch E200
Though Acer has a strong foothold in the computer world, it still wants to leave its footprint in the mobile phone niche. Thus, this prompted the company to launch its newest offering, the Acer BeTouch E200. This stylish phone from Acer comes with a load of amazing up-to-date features and functions. Because of which, this unit is more than just a phone. It can also be a useful tool for businessmen who are on the go.
It dons an appealing aesthetic design. Its slider mechanism works just fine and yet it doesn't feel loose or fragile. Because of which, you can say that the quality of workmanship on the production that was put into this is truly superb. Due to its heavy weight, the unit feels solid and packed. Nonetheless, it seems as if this phone is wonderfully crafted.
The keys to the keys
The unit's three-inch screen is touch-sensitive and thus leaves a heavy amount of fingerprints in it when used. Of course, this would take the pleasure out of using the phone. However, a clean screen gives a nice image quality with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. The monitor's sensitivity is average although the Windows Mobile 6.5 interface causes navigation problems throughout the phone's menus.
Below the screen, you would find its end and send keys. It is also here where you will find the D-Pad that has a sunken 'OK' button. Pressing these multiple times will not disappoint its user even though he falls back into it.
Aesthetics
The sides of the phone sports a metallic gray shade which is in unison with the phone's overall design. The left side of the phone contains the miniUSB port, the screen lock and volume rocker. The other side of the phone contains the camera shutter. The upper left side of the unit houses the stylus which is one of the most important peripherals of the unit for it will be used for almost all of the phone's functions.
Once you open the slider, you will get your sights into the numeric keypad. Pressing the buttons on this keypad would delight your fingers for they are easy to punch into. Also, they are visible enough to have a discernible 'click' feedback. In general, the buttons of the Acer beTouch E200 are properly laid out. A new user will not have any problems learning the reins of this phone.
The rubberized back panel might be the best decision Acer did on this phone's frame. With it being heavy, having it slipping off your hands would surely get the ire of consumers. Yet, the rubberized back side prevents this from happening. Also, the back side contains a 3.2-megapixel camera and a loudspeaker.
Having seen this phone, using it on a daily basis sure is exciting. Brace yourself and be ready for this new phone that gives you the power of having a computer in your hands. So why not purchase this phone? Once you do, the unit comes with a charger, USB cable, guarantee card, user manual and miniUSB headset. And with its affordable price, you will definitely get your money's worth with this one.
