Mobile Review: Acer beTouch E400

The beTouch E400 from Acer looks just like the manufacturer's NewTouch P400 which runs Windows Mobile 6.5, but this time, the OS is Android 2.1, which includes support for multitouch gestures.

Despite a very affordable price tag, the handset has plenty of features in common with other successful smartphones, like a touchscreen interface, integrated social networking and support for e-mails, photos and video.

But at this price, you'll have to make do with a resistive touchscreen (so in reality, no multitouch), no flash on the camera and a 600 MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor that can't rival more recent 1 GHz CPUs for speed. So can Acer pull it off?
