HTC MOBILE: Acer beTouch E400

Acer be Touch E400

On the smartphone front Acer used to be solely focused on making Windows Mobile powered handsets, but with the arrival of the Android touting beTouch E400 that all changed. Now the company has a twin-pronged strategy of releasing each of its phones with Android and Windows Mobile under slightly different product names. The neoTouch brand is now used for Windows Mobile products and the beTouch moniker is used on Android devices. In this regard, the E400 is the Android version of the E400 that we looked at back in May.As you would expect, given this strategy, the design of the E400 is nearly identical to that of the P400. However, there are some subtle differences. For example, the touch buttons that sit beneath the touchscreen have different functions. The home button remains, but the other buttons are used as the search button, back button and menu key, rather than as call control keys as they are on the E400.
