It will be a short time before Windows Phone 7 Mango phones pop up inside the shops, but here at Computex , Acer decided to offer us a bit tease with a mockup of its upcoming W4 handset. Before you get all excited, though, the hardware specs are pretty yawn-inducing: there is a 3.6-inch 800 x 480 display of unknown type, 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 CPU, as much as 8GB of storage, 5 megapixel auto-focus camera, and DLNA support. Hardly anything new here, that is a surprise in view that we’re taking a look at a Mango device — a phone to be shipped with a primary WP7 refresh.
Anyhow, you’ll also find the standard radios like 802.11 b/g/n plus Bluetooth 2.1 here, but interestingly enough, it feels like the W4 might be coming in two SKUs: one with HSPA 850 / 1900, and one with HSPA 900 / 2100 — obviously a possible problem for globetrotters. As for feel and look the W4′s well in the comfort zone of Acer’s smartphone ID, and the curved back felt nice and solid in our hands, but we will save our final judgement for the genuine deal. Once we hear a release date, you’ll realize it once we do.
