As promised, Acer announced a line of new smartphones in Barcelona. Nothing earth shattering. Apparently Acer opted not to go for the iPhone Clone market, and instead focus on HTC Clone buyers.

Acer has slated three new phones running Windows Mobile 6.1, the first two being a standard touch screen (F900) and a Qwerty Slider (M900) while the third is the rumored dual SIM phone (DX900).

For the F900 and the M900, the base specs are:

• 3.8″ screen at 480×800
• Samsung S3C 6410 mobile processor (533 MHz)
• 128MB SDRAM and 256MB for OS
• MicroSD card slot
• 3.2-megapixel camera w/ autofocus
• HSDPA Category 8/ HSUPA Category 5 (2100/1900/850 Mhz)
• Quad-band, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
• GPRS/EGPRS: Class B, multi-slot class 11
• 802.11b/g
• Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
• G-sensor and L-sensor
• SiRFstar III GPS system w/ Navigon shareware installed
• Pull-out antenna

The main difference between the F900 and the M900 is the keyboard and the M900 has a 5 megapixel cam and a fingerprint scanner (???).

The DX900 has a different processor, smaller screen, and (obviously) two SIM card slots.

No word yet on release dates or pricing.

Maybe it’s just me, but with the Palm Pre coming, a new iPhone being rumored, a slew of Android phones arriving soon and Windows Mobile 6.5 looking like a reasonable milestone on the path to WinMo 7…I just don’t see these phones turning many heads. Anyone disagree?
