Remember those new Acer devices that Zealot told us about a couple months ago? Well, I have got my hands on the Acer Tempo M900. This is the one with the big old 3.8″ screen, biometric scanner, and slide out qwerty. Can it keep me from yearning for the Touch Pro 2? Who knows. I just got it today and it’s on charge. I will do some video of the unique UI and hardware in the next couple days. The only impressions I can share at this time is that the keyboard feels awesome.

The Acer Tempo M900 features a large 3.8” WVGA touch screen, Windows Mobile 6.1, Outlook Mobile and a sliding physical keyboard that – quite literally – puts your office in your hands. And don’t worry about data security – the embedded fingerprint reader makes sure only you can access your smartphone and the data you move with it.

Stay tuned for more…
