Acer DX900 Test Review

A test on the Acer DX900 Dual SIM has been done last week in Singapore.
As announced, this Dual SIM PDA is able to send/receive calls at the same time in both SIM cards. It runs under Windows Mobile 6.1 OS.

Several negative aspects have been remarked:

One SIM card slot is 3G, while the other slot is just 2G enabled
Video calls can't be made
Low battery life: "Battery life is quite poor, fully charge from 1am in the morning and used the phone for 45 mins of call time, and by 8.30am the phone was left with 70 percent of batt life"

However, this is a great PDA if you don't care about video-calls and want to surf anywhere.
