Ah, Bluetooth Special Interest Group, our second-favorite source for mobile leaks (next to the FCC, of course). Here's two new entries care of Acer, both touchscreen devices with quadband GSM. The Android-powered E110 (pictured, right), however, also touts the AT&T-friendly 850 / 1900 frequencies and A-GPS. As for the P300, it's got an unknown version of Windows Mobile, 802.11b/g, and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR. That's quite a bit of detail for two tiny entries -- now let's get Mobile World Congress started already, give Acer a nice platform to spill the beans.
Ooooo - Nice!
@DaHarder
really? nice?
@DaHarder Nice wouldn't be the word I'd use to describe either one of those.
@DaHarder
"it's got an unknown version of Windows Mobile"...
It certainly might if that 'unknown' version of WinMo is WinMo 7.
@TareG According to unwired, these phones has a near-like resemblance with the acer-liquid: http://bit.ly/the-acer-liquid-details
Although, there’s no word on when Acer plans to announce the two smartphones...
they look like the nokia touch screen phones, especially with the bezel.
@dedparrot The buttons remind me of Nokia's as well.
It would be cool if AT&T got the liquid, like they were expected to get, along with this one.
As for the WinMo one, unimportant. I think Android is really ripping WinMo apart at this point, unless Microsoft goes simplicity based and app-happy. Then they would have the potential to overthrow the iPhone.
@mitchrockz
what i really dont understand is why they would make something that bland after something as spiffy as the liquid. personally i think the led display on the top is a great idea.
@joshky At least they aren't pulling a Motorola, where everything after their most popular phone (RAZR) is based off of it.
But yeah, I agree with you. Its bland.
OH. MY. GOSH!
God bless the Internet... and God bless Engadget.
@buoy
weirdo.
I really wish Google and the OHA would put out a recommendation for what order the hardware buttons should go in. I'm not saying they have to go around enforcing it, but it would be nice if at least the majority of phones had the same button layout instead of everybody rearranging things just to be different.
slashgear had this yesterday
@tc4101
So? I had your mom yesterday.

These don't happen to be made by HTC by any chance ?
@fourthletter
hahha i was thinking the same thing... is it wrong that I would probably like the design alot more if it was??? seeing an acer logo on anything screams "mediocrity!!!" to me...
It says acer, lawl.
@fourthletter
The Liquid/A1/S100 is made at Compal
Where be my buttons? At the rate its going winmo phones wont have any buttons whatsoever
@Einlander
*whisper* pssst...someone should tell Einlander that these are touch screen...
i'm not gonna do it!
Whatever happened to the Huawei Android (the one "wrapped in an enigma") iClone? Was it too sexy to bare Android?
Ohh...very nice.
May have to consider one of these.
sigh... no keypad still?
Lets hope this 'unknown version of WM' turns out to be 7. This hardware would be passed over in a heartbeat if it has 6.x and is intended not to be a low end phone.
To minimize breakout problems around the office, we file down the 2 "barbs" on the cable connector. They are too aggressive, and the cable holds just fine without them. This connector is not robust, you are better off occassionally pulling the plug, than jerking the connector off the board.
@TonyCarter
I was just about to post exactly this suggestion. How did you know?
"unknown version of winmo"
so what about the android phone? is the android version unknown as well or are you just holding out on us?
ps. i wish acer would have kept making good looking, slightly unconventional phones like the liquid, instead of these sheep that look exactly the same as any other phone out there
