We’ve got news from our buddies at Electricpig that two new Acer devices, both packing copious amounts of Android, are checking in for pre-order in the UK.
The Acer beTouch E400 device (with Android 2.1), is now on eXpansys for pre-order, rocking in at £264.99 SIM-free. It’s not a mega-monster in the power stakes, with only (he says) a 600MHz CPU, and a 3.2 inch resistive (arch) touchscreen. The camera is 3.1MP. So a middle-league device, but at a very reasonable price. I should also say the device is only 12mm thick, which is a definite plus-point!
Interestingly, there’s an even cheaper Android (1.5) device on eXpansys too, which comes in at £159.99 SIM-free, and goes by the name of the E110 – wow, check out those bargain prices for a smartphone! This time the screen is only 2.8 inch, but still, that price is impressive!
Both devices are slated for the next couple of weeks, so if you want a budget Android device, SIM-free, methinks you are in for a treat 
The Acer E400 is here, and the E110 is here.
Thanks for Ben for the heads-up!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
