Quick Review Acer neoTouch F1

The Acer neoTouch F1 has a 3.8 inch wide VGA resistive touch screen, possibly the largest resistive touch screen to be used in a mobile phone. The resistive touch screen makes for compatibility with a stylus which is perfect for navigating Windows Mobile. Windows Mobile 6.5, like its predecessors seem to be designed better for the stylus than for finger input. The 5 mega pixel camera takes excellent quality images, and thanks to the LED flash, shooting indoors or in low-light areas is made much easier. The camera can also take VGA videos as well.

Windows Mobile 6.5

The phone supports HSDPA, GPRS, EDGE and wireless land for internet access. Browsing is done through Windows’ Internet Explorer Mobile. Along with the browser, Windows also delivers various features such as Office for Mobile that can create, edit and view Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents easily; though this can be hard to use since the virtual keyboard is not as well designed as those found on other touch screen phones. Windows Mobile 6.5 now supports the Windows Marketplace for purchasing and downloading applications. The Marketplace currently boasts updated anti-piracy features as of its last update.

1 GHz Snapdragon Processor

The biggest feature of the Acer neoTouch is its Snapdragon processor with a speed of 1GHz. While there have been no confirmed extra features that Windows Mobile is capable of achieving on such a fast processor –other than running smoother and faster. This alone is good enough for many people who complain that the Windows Mobile operating system is too clumsy and too slow to respond to fast inputs. There is a possibility that we could expect some proprietary Acer applications that make use of the processing power of the F1.

The Acer neoTouch phone is currently available on both Orange Mobile UK and on O2 and you can get it for free or half price on various plans.
