Since the beginning of written history, there have always been people or entities trying to conquer the world and smartphones make for a genuine "threat". A growing number of surveys indicate that smartphones are becoming increasingly widespread and the trend is to accelerate in the coming years. In this train of thought, it can be expected that manufacturers that haven't come up with their own smart devices yet will try luck. Acer makes for an illustrative example. Their Windows Mobile handsets didn't take long to roll out after the company took over Eten and now the rumor has it that Android-based cell phones are to follow soon.
Acers smartphone range includes four devices as of now, with the F900 being one of the most technologically advanced of them. Its equipped with 3.8-inch WVGA screen and personalized Acer Shell running on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. What is in the box?
Acer F900 Features & Specification

On the matter of web browsing the F900 has Opera Mobile included and as you'd expect from the tried and trusted Opera browser, it does a decent job of rendering webpages, looking much like their desktop equivalent only smaller. Opera seems to be speedy enough though. However, one area that does cause a problem with Opera is the g-sensor or accelerometer. When you rotate the handset in your hands to a landscape orientation then naturally you want the screen to rotate to suit but for some reason Opera simply refuses to play ball most of the time which is quite annoying!
We're often asked about texting and text entry on handsets. The F900, as you would expect, has all the standard Windows Mobile text-entry methods from handwriting recognition to the normal QWERTY keyboard. You probably wont want to use the normal WM QWERTY as on the 480x800 screen it's tiny and not easy to use even with a stylus let alone with your fingers. Thankfully Acer have included their own larger QWERTY keyboard for text entry and this takes up just over a third of the lower part of the display. The 'keys' are well spaced and large enough to press with your fingers without having to resort to the stylus. Text entry is otherwise uneventful.
