Acer has launched three new smartphone models in India. These three new touchscreen phones virtually encompass all price ranges. The phones start at Rs. 12,000 and range up to Rs. 35,000. The phones are designated beTouch e101, beTouch e200 and neoTouch. All of the three, the neoTouch is in the top of the segment.
beTouch e101:
The beTouch e101 is definitely well priced because at Rs. 12,000 it comes with a lot of decent features. It comes with a 3.2 inch resistive touchscreen and runs on the latest version of Windows Mobile i.e. 6.5. To put it straight, the beTouch e101 promises to provide the user with the ultimate Windows Mobile experience. Additionally, the smartphone comes with 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of internal ROM. Apart from these, it also boasts a basic 2 megapixel camera. On the minus side though, the camera is very basic and lacks autofocus, something we can live with taking the price into consideration.
beTouch e200:
The beTouch e200 is a little costlier than the e101. Strangely, it features a smaller screen when compared to the e101. Its features include a 3-inch monitor, 3.15 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and 3G. Apart from these, the features are almost identical to that of the e101.
The beTouch e200 is priced at Rs. 17,900.
neoTouch:
The neoTouch is the top of the segment offering from Acer. It is truly a powerhorse. It is powered by the Snapdragon processor and comes with a 3.8 inch resistive touchscreen that supports a resolution of 480×800 pixels. It also comes with a 5-megapixel camera that has advanced features such as autofocus, LED flash, geo-tagging, and VGA video recording.
The neoTouch is priced at Rs. 35,000.
Acer has entered into an agreement with Tata Docomo which will be the carrier for the phone. Users can download 500 MB per month for six months for free if they sign up now.
