The result is a seemingly cheap device, that looks affordable and mediocre in specs. We’re dealing with a Mango handset that has a quite unique feature: very fast charging. This model uses the Fast Charge technology to charge its 1300 mAh power source to the highest level 2.5 times faster than any other rival tablet or smartphone.

I must also mention that the specs of this unit are predictable: 3.6 inch WVGA display, Qualcomm 1GHz processor, 8GB of memory and a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash. There’s also Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi, a bunch of sensors and a case that measures 13mm in thickness. Acer Allegro weighs 126 grams and it’s scheduled for debut in mid-November in France with a price tag of 299 euros.

This price tag is pretty good, especially considering this is a Mango OS handset, but the specs are pretty dated, if you ask me. They’re basic enough to run WP7.5 and include a 3.6 inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and HSPA + quad band connectivity.

The brain of the smartphone is a Qualcomm MSM8255 1GHz processor, the same one used on the Xperia Play and the features list also includes WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, DLNA and 8GB of storage. Now let’s see what Nokia can pit against this appealing model, both price wise and specs wise.

With a display that sports a 3.6 inch diagonal and 480 x 800 pixel resolution, this model doesn’t feature some incredible specs, so it will probably be in the lower range of WP7 units. This handset comes with a 1GHz CPU, an unknown megapixel camera, 8GB of internal memory and 512MB of RAM. I guess that somehow this smartphone will compete with Nokia’s Mango units, that will have similar specifications and most likely reasonable prices.

As far as design goes, the Acer W4 is classic for a WP7 unit: glossy, black and elegant case. Supposedly, the phone will hit the market next month, according to Acer’s statement at IFA 2011. Is this an indication as to when Mango OS will be available to the general public?

This time, we have the official Acer Germany Facebook account providing info on the debut of the handset. We must also mention that the screen on this handset is an ultra wide one, with 19:9 aspect and 1024 x 480 pixel resolution. Android 2.3 Gingerbread is the OS of choice, while a Snapdragon CPU takes care of all the processes on the device.

There’s also an 8 megapixel camera on board, in case you want photo capture. Expect this model to also debt in the UK via Expansys soon enough, with the retailer already offering the smartphone for pre-order, but without a price and launch date.

We are dealing with a 3.6 inch smartphone, supporting a 800 x 480 pixel resolution and packing a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 CPU, plus 8GB of storage and a 5MP autofocus camera. DLNA, WiFi, Bluetooth and HSPA also complete the specs list. The handset looks thin and we have to say that its curved back looks nice and according to Engadget, it also feels nice.

The design looks a bit like a combo between the front side of Dell Venue Pro and Samsung Omnia 7. Now let’s get a price and a launch date for this model and we’re all set.

Moving on to the lower price segment, ThePhoneHouse also lists the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, going for 399 EUR and the Acer Iconia Tab A100, priced at 349 EUR. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is lacking from the list sadly, but we’re sure that it’s been priced competitively in order to rival the Xoom and Optimus Pad.

Rumors also surfaced concerning the HP Opal slate (possibly the TouchPad), that is supposed to reach Europe on July 1st, if speculations are correct. Which one of these will you be buying? Or do you want to wait for the iPad 2?

This candybar phone is very much like a BlackBerry replacement, possibly cheaper and with more mediocre specs. Here’s the feature list:

• Display: 2.6 inch, QVGA TFT, resistive touchscreen, 320 x 240
• CPU: 600MHz, Qualcomm MSM7227
• Memory: 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM
• Camera: 3MP
• Connectivity: Bluetooth, WiFi

March 11th is the launch date for this business model, at least in the UK. US customers will get their version via AT&T, supporting UMTS 850 and 1900 bands.

Acer Liquid Mini is very much like the Liquid model, albeit a tad tinier (screen diagonal and resolution), thus justifying the “mini” name pattern. Here’s the specs list for this device:

• Display: 3.2 inch touchscreen, 480 x 320 pixels
• CPU: Qualcomm 7227, 600MHz
• Camera: 5MP
• Connectivity: 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS

Acer beTouch E210 is even smaller, but it brings a front QWERTY keyboard and the following features:

• Display: 2.6 inch touchscreen
• CPU: 416MHz
• Memory: 256MB RAM
• Camera: 3.2MP
• Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS

No info on pricing or release date for North America.

The product is aimed at the entry level smartphone market, possibly made out of teens or people who don’t want to spend too much on a mid-level phone.

Now let’s see what Acer has readied for CES 2011, specially in the tablet segment.

This is a GSM phone with appealing specs that are listed below and we know that it could be available in silver and brown. The device comes with a stainless steel battery cover and support for connectivity with a PC or game console via DLNA/UPnP. Here’s the specs list:

• CPU: 800MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon
• Display: 3.6 inch, WVGA touchscreen, 800 x 480 pixels
• Camera: 5MP
• Connectivity: Bluetooth, WiFi b/g/n, 3G

Acer Liquid Metal adopts Breeze UI together with Android 2.2, allowing users to manage apps more easily. Info is visible even when the screen is locked and there’s also a Social Jogger app on board that aggregates social networking feeds, allowing you to surf through them via trackwheel. Acer has been announcing a lot of tablets and smartphones lately, so 2011 will be very busy for them, especially if they join the Windows Phone 7 partner bunch.
