Acer smartphone range in the UAE
Acer’s entire range of Tempo smartphones will be available in the Middle East by the end of September, with its dual-SIM DX900 model already retailing at stores in the United Arab Emirates for AED 2,599.
The Taiwan-based company announced its intentions to enter the lucrative smartphone market earlier this year by unveiling its range at the Mobile World Congress in February.
The intentions behind the major new move for the computer manufacturer, was to “establish Acer as the world’s leading mobile solutions company,” with the goal of becoming “one of the top five in the smartphone market in the next five years”.
The DX900, which went on sale in select markets in May this year, is based on the Windows Mobile 6.1 platform, comes with a 2.8” touch screen, a 3 megapixel camera and is fully Arabised for the region.
The model is presently sold only at select stores in the country such as Sharaf DG and PlugIns, but will be made more widely available in a few days time along with other models in the Tempo line, including the M900, F900 and X960.
The company is working on launching new models based on the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, which would be in MEA on the “same day” Microsoft launches the platform.
