We had heard Acer was coming out with a new phone for Mobile World Congress, and now we’re getting our first look at it; no specs, no OS, but a rather peculiar form factor. As you can see, this thing has a swivelling QWERTY keypad flipping out from under the touchscreen that makes the whole thing look like an upside-down T. Although it’s hard to see how well this actually works out until we actually play with one, it looks pretty awkward overall. What do you guys think – assuming decent specs, is this something you would use?
