Scrambling for a winning position in the most ludicrous period of the retailing business (which is the Christmas gift market), Acer has upped the ante with the new handset neoTouch2. With a 3.8” display, 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, you know Acer means business this time.
Let’s take a look at what the package offers us: the neoTouch phone of course, a charger, a battery, a miniUSB cable, a handsfree set, a pouch, a stylus, a user’s guide and a CD manual.

The monstrously wide 3.8”-inch display is one of the hottest selling points of the device. It has a 480x800-pixel WVGA resolution and 56K color compatibility to guarantee you the crispest and most vibrant of images (This is not just a promotional saying, the color does pop!) I am not a fan of the sharp chrome edge. It looks a little too intimidating and rigid for me. However, for a handset with such an enormous screen, it’s impressively thin and fairly sized. You may also check out its chief competitor Toshiba TG01 who is even thinner with a width of 9.9mm, but considerable more sizable.

The 3.5mm jack is a thoughtful thing to have.

The touchscreen is intuitive enough to the fingers but you still have the alternative of Stylus, though you have to be real careful when you pull it out of the silo because it could get stuck. You have the camera button and volume rocker on the right side.

On the left side of the phone lies the power button.

I quite like the simple design of the back of the phone, although some may find the plastic casing looking cheap. You have a 5.0MP autofocus camera with the complimentary of flash. The speaker grill next to it is one hell of a performer.

I like the scrollable menu of the new Windows Mobile 6.5 professional very much. It breaks away from the conventional menu design and gives you a nice twist.

Acer neoTouch is among one of those forerunners to have the Qualcomm® 8250 1 GHz CPU. (Guess what, Toshiba TG01 has it too!) The speed of the handset is incredibly fast. With an internal 512MB ROM and 256MB RAM and an expandable external memory up to 32GB, Acer neoTouch is a blowout triumph!

Accelerator is installed and auto-rotation is enabled. You get a full virtual QWERTY.

neoTouch definitely has its potentials in making it big for Acer. A high-definition screen, great portability, user-friendly with direct link to flickr, YouTube, Facebook, built-in Wifi and GPS support, it has the hippest features that you can ever ask for.
