First Acer-branded smartphone a Glofiish DX900 rebadge?

There's bound to be more, but the first leaked Acer handset expected to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress is no more than a rebadge of a device obtained through its acquisition of E-Ten. The Glofiish DX900 was announced in mid-2008 with dual-SIM support, GPS, a 3 megapixel camera, and a 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen riding a Windows Mobile 6.1 OS -- that all stays the same. In other words, if the leak is accurate, then this particular device will see a new logo and that's about it. Still, the MWC invite specifically said "smartphones launch" so we're not corking the fat lady just yet.

if you perfect the phone's features, such as battery life, making the the touchscreen's responsive, a camera with a better sensor, provide more accurate GPS, no one can really complain.

You don't buy a company for a product they make then completely change it ! It looks like a nice little phone and with Acer's value pricing it could be great !

Well who would want to spend a shitload of money into designing and constructing their own, when in the end it will fail anyway? Like 80% of their laptops.

They did at least one thing right: 3.5mm headphone jack.

If only HTC would do the same. :(

Am I the only one who hates windows mobile 6.1 on touchscreen devices?
