Acer beTouch E101 deals on contract

The Taiwanese computer maker Acer is following the trend of other computer makers like HP, Dell and Asus taking on the mobile phone giants with upscale handsets inspired by the stellar landmark entry of Cupertino based Apple with iPhone.

Now, if only they can come up with anything close to the iPhone. Rather, they now have various models that aim to eat more markets from the Big Fives. Acer has its Android and Windows smartphones aimed squarely at dislodging compatriot HTC from the smartphone landscape.

You get Liquid, beTouch and neoTouch smartphones that sport the monolithic body styling that now enjoy significant market following. The Acer beTouch E101 also known as the Acer E1 in other markets and is another exquisite Windows Mobile smartphone to beef up Acer’s stable of growing Windows smartphones ever since it entered the mobile phone business in 2009.

But rather than competing with its other upscale smartphones, the new E101 gets less endowed and is clearly an affordable handset pitched to the lower end of the smartphone markets.
