Acer had been hinting about their first  Smartphone appearing sometime in Q1 2009. Here we are in Q1…and apparently here it comes.

Making use of the remains of E-Ten, which they purchased some months ago, Acer says they are releasing a smartphone even though all we know about it is that it is running WinMo and probably has a touchscreen. Acer will be giving out all the details on February 16th at a press conference in Barcelona during Mobile World Congress hosted by Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci, followed by a buffer dinner and open bar.

AN OPEN BAR! I hope that’s a good sign. A really slick new Windows Mobile phone, perhaps the first to be running 6.5, would be a great thing right now before the Pre Panic truly begins and the new Android phones begin to drop.
