To please the public and professional, the Taiwanese manufacturer has selected components of the first order. Thus, the screen of the Acer NewTouch S200 displays a resolution of 480×800 pixels on its surface of 3.8 inches wide, very pleasant to watch downloaded movies or videos posted on Internet (YouTube is also preloaded).
With SnapDragon Qualcomm processor 1GHz (already on the Toshiba and HTC TG01 HD2), the Acer NewTouch S200 is very responsive and delivers Web pages faster, WiFi or HSDPA.
Unfortunately, depending on Windows Mobile 6.5 (not supporting capacitive screens like the iPhone), the Acer NewTouch S200 is open to criticism about its resistive screen. You have to press hard enough for it to work, but most importantly, its keyboard is almost unusable without the stylus (portrait mode), while Microsoft boasts the GUI with the fingers.
Acer has just changed the homepage of the mobile OS from Redmond with a customizable selection of up to 9 shortcuts application. It is far from the sophistication of a Samsung Omnia or HTC II HD2. Side repository, except the following Google Mobile, Acer has not added other specific applications.
However, and this is one of the strengths of the Acer NewTouch S200, social networks are well integrated. Thus, it is convenient to add a photo to your Flickr, to find a video on YouTube, update your Facebook status or posting a message on your Blogger blog. In addition, with Windows Mobile 6.5, the purchase application is simplified with the Martketplace.
In addition, the service offers free MyPhone synchronize your SMS, photo, video on a web server, and automatically personalized.
So many innovations that make this NewTouch Acer S200, a smartphone pleasant to use, both for work (office, email …) and for entertainment (music, games, social networks …). Like many Windows Mobile smartphones, autonomy does not exceed 2 days in moderate use.
Plus : Great screen, powerful processor, direct access to social networks, FM radio tuner, design, standard USB port.
