Better late than never, Acer has decided to step into the mobile world. A week ago Acer announced their intentions to get into the mobile phone market this year. Their first handset will be Windows Mobile powered with dual-SIM support and high-speed 3G connectivity.

The company kept silence over their future mobile phone plans since the time Acer bought the cellphone manufacturer E-Ten last year. But now Acer has decided to introduce their first smartphones on the upcoming MWC 2009 in Barcelona.

The Acer DX900 is identical to the unreleased E-Ten Glofiish DX900. The phone design and specs were known before the merger, but it never got to the retail market in large volumes.

Acer DX900 will be the first dual-SIM device, which will support high speed HSDPA/UMTS connection along with the standard GSM/EDGE on both its SIM card channels.

The rest of the specifications include GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity, a 2.8-inch TFT touchscreen with VGA resolution and 3 megapixel autofocus snapper.

As of now there is no official announcement of the Acer DX900 but speculations are going around that it might be released in mid-February at the Mobile World Congress. The phone is available for pre-order at the retailers in UK.
