The X960 is Acer’s first device in their new smart-phone series. As a newcomer to the market Acer needed to release a device that looked and performed better than the market average. The X960 meets these requirements.

At a quick glance this device features a 2.8 inch VGA display, HSDPA (3G), WiFi, GPS, and a MicroSD memory card slot for expansion. However, looking deeper into the specs that 2.8inch display is in fact a touch screen. Additionally, the device includes a 3.2MP primary camera, with a flash and video recording capabilities, and a VGA front-facing camera for mobile video calls. Powering this beast is a 1530mAh Lithium-ion battery making the battery a noteworthy feature. Finally, this is a SIM unlocked windows mobile 6.1 professional smart phone.

Remembering that this is an unlocked phone, the price is a little high. Running around $450 it’s not the most expensive smart phone I have used but it is more expensive than other carrier-locked alternatives.
