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.

For more information on this smart phone check out Clove Technologies and the official Acer webpage.

This new platform will allow consumers to quickly view the specifications of the cell phones at the store by simply placing the device on the surface. Also, you will be able to place two or more phones on the surface and the computer will compare and display the differences between the phones. Comparing of plans will also be available.

A really cool feature that is not yet announced but could be coming in the future is the ability for device to device transfer. This would allow you to go to the store, upgrade your phone to a newer model and than place both on the surface. Than you could transfer contacts, pictures, videos, ect to your new phone. This would make the upgrade process amazingly simple.
