Acer F900: Trying New space

Among computer users, the name of Acer familiar course. After the acquisition of the E-Ten Glofiish series ever flying, Acer PDA phone market penetrated. In Indonesia, Acer kicked off with 4 straight series at the same time, one Acer F900. One thing that immediately attracted attention from Acer F900 is a large screen size, which is 3.8 inches. As a touchscreen phone, in fact natural that Acer F900 has a wide screen size.

However, given the same class devices like the HTC Touch Pro is still in the 2 screen 3.6-inch figures, this measure remains the most high. Moreover, 800x480 pixel resolution reached, or better than the iPhone (480x320) and equivalent to the HTC Touch Touch Diamond2 and Pro2. Unfortunately the depth of color is only 65 thousand colors, so the images and videos are not as good as we expected.

F900 touch screen features a nice backlight setting complete. At the option Auto-adjust backlight using L-sensor, the profile option Full Sun, Indoor, and Dark. But for us the screen was still under the hot glare of the sun, although the profile of our Full Sun has set up the Dark.

But as usual, increasingly wide-screen, the greater the aesthetic problem. That is, wide screen makes the cheek or finger impressions were easy marks. In addition, the dimensions of Acer feels F900. With dimensions of approximately 11.7 x6, 3 cm and 1.3 cm thick, this tool is more suitable for hand man.

If the whole body listening devices for Rp. This 6.5 million, one interesting thing is the existence of the SD card slot on the left side. In other devices, this slot is usually located behind the battery, which can only be accessed when the phone died. With the outside slot design like this, we could take a pair of memory on the phone situation is on (hot swap). In addition to SD Card slot, the other connectors provided are F900 Acer Mini USB, stylus, On the internal side, the facilities provided fairly complete.

The two most important facilities are available is 3.5 G quad band and WiFi. In the unit we received, fully equipped Connection Wizard Internet setting all telecommunications providers (Axis, XL, 3, IM3, Satelindo and Telkomsel). However, this 3.5G facility could be used for video calls. This device also has a GPS facility that accompanied the Google Maps application, radio, and 3.2 MP resolution camera.

As the operating system, using F900 Acer Windows Mobile 6.1. But as recent trends, Acer instill a special interface on Windows Mobile so it is easy to use. Called Acer Shell, this interface was unique because it uses images to describe the office atmosphere each function. For example to show day and date, represented by the picture on the wall calendar. To enter the photo gallery, illustrated with photo frame on the table. Longer unique, each icon is when shifted to smaller, so much like three-dimensional view. Eventually though no more than a shortcut, we were entertained enough to play every icon in Acer Shell.

Acer put enough utility in the F900. We recorded the Application Recovery to restore the innate Acer application affected, Default Settings to restore the system and all applications to the factory settings, and the Backup Utility to maintain the data. Another interesting application is the Acer Bizcard that allows us to "picture" business card using the camera and entering data into the Contacts.

As a first step in the world Acer handheld devices, able to perform satisfactorily F900 though not cause a sense of "well". We liked the size and resolution display screen and a futuristic Acer Shell. But we also noted some shortcomings such as its screen is not visible in the sunlight and the screen resolution is only 65 thousand colors. Acer F900 is the price of Rp. 6.5 million are increasingly making his chances in the smartphone arena heavier. Acer willing to assume more pressing again the price, we believe F900 will be one of the primadona.
