Acer, the world’s third largest vender of PCs, has recently entered the mobile communications market with the Acer Tempo Smartphone Series, a collection of five touch-screen smartphones. The collection was announced during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and has been well received.

The first device of this series is the Acer DX900, the world's first dual-SIM and dual-standby Windows Mobile smartphone supporting both 3G and 2G connections.  It is designed for consumers who need access to two mobile numbers but want to avoid the hassle of carrying two devices.  The DX900 attracts business professionals and consumers who are heavy mobile users. It meets the needs of frequent travelers, who can use one SIM card in their home country and another SIM card when travelling abroad. It is available in EMEA and in most Asian markets.

With a competitive price point, the DX900 is perfect for both cost-conscious and demanding consumers. The dual SIM option gives consumers the freedom to choose a new mobile plan while maintaining a previous phone number or reduce monthly bills by combining different call and data rate plans.

The Acer DX900 is also great for businesses looking for improved employee productivity while achieving overall cost reduction of their phone bills. This device allows users to manage daily business and stay productive with 24x7 access to business email with Outlook Mobile email client, and with the fully featured Windows Mobile® 6.1 professional edition (Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint).

The 2.8” VGA LCD touch screen features high resolution and vivid colors, enhancing productivity by
making it easy to browse the internet or read documents on the go. The 3.0 megapixel auto focus camera and a VGA front side camera for video calls permit quality multimedia imaging and communications on one device.
