Acer Tempo X 960 revision

Like a robot recently risen from the critical, Acer Tempo X 960 has a rather stale smell a propos: it is not an outrageous phone, but its Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system is clumsily wrapped in skin Acer Shell dated-looking, and it has a 10-year-old PDA usability problems.Like a robot is X 960 also slow and relentless, wearing you with acute usability problems and a dull touchscreen. It has received a multitude of excellent connectivity with HSDPA and Wi-Fi, but it is critical of the stiff competition in touchscreen handset Bazaar, and Acer needs to step up its game.

The X 960 is open instead of around £ 360 SIM free.


Abandoned in the Agency's Acer
Remember Microsoft dip? Released in 1995, subject to this user interface Windows with a picture of a meeting scope, aiming to knock together your PC more user-friendly. You can not remember the dip, as it was a failure for custom and solitary confinement of Redmonds biggest flops ever. We therefore wonder why Acer absolutely to replacement duty to be soaked by wrapping Windows Mobile phone in Acer Shell user interface that presents the homescreen icons, as if they are sitting in a ghostly, greyish Agency.


The aim is to knock together Windows mobile phone more finger-friendly, because it is scandalous easier said than done to custom missing a Stylus. The conclusion has winnings of, provided that superior areas to track, but it is revolting and dated-looking, and not expose the phone's many skin tone.
Acer Shell UI vie you gain of three homescreens which you can convert reservation guarantee a finger sideways across the screen. A vertical filled with hides setting Agency for the benefit of an iPhone-style menu with rounded icons and two homescreens. This is an important expansion greater than standard the Agency set-up, but the icons similar appearance will not help you recover, you can repeat? You search instead.


When you travel sur Acer Shell reservation, usability is even worse, profit for Windows mobile phone 6.1 's small, fiddly icons. Even Microsoft is aware of the purpose of Windows Mobile 6.1 do not fit neatly in place of courageous extra finger-touch the Earth, a place styluses have veto over space and Windows mobile 6.5 phone is frightening in the horizon. But X 960 includes a stylus, and you must have it — the soft Qwerty upright is so small, it really made us laugh. Although in attendance are plenty of other input options, such as script recognition, the phone will not be friendly to frequent texters and emailers.


We found other usability failures in order seemed to frustrate us out for all curve. Illustration, it takes from the homescreen four cocks — four — to unfasten a extra text message, and the majority of individuals of concern to navigate through a small Windows menu using fingernail, which take intense concentration and a steady worker. Function plus this will keep you from transport not in drunk texts for your exe files, but on the minus, it is incredibly annoying.


Button, here is the call, put, maps and Fatherland buttons at the same time, as well as a five-way navigation, but we do not restore them very help in navigating window Mobile 6.1 's menus. And in a number of programmes, such as the camera, not the prepare something — button homeland even not returned us to the homescreen.
