Acer to launch QWERTY beTouch E210 in the UK this March

As well as the Acer Liquid Mini we mentioned yesterday, Acer has revealed another Android phone that’ll launch soon – the beTouch E210. It’s an interesting take on the famous Blackberry format, combining both QWERTY keypad and touchscreen into a silvery portrait candybar layout.

The Android 2.2 OS will look a little odd squeezed into a landscape oriented 2.6″ screen, but if you’re a fan of the RIM way of doing things and not yet ready to give up on a physical keyboard, this might be the phone for you. Certainly looks a bit “boutique” and “interesting.”

The Acer beTouch 210 is scheduled to launch in the UK this March.

Acer Aspire One D255 with dual-core Atom hits at $330

It was only a matter of time before Acer let out the pricing / availability details on its dual-core Atom netbook, and as we could have predicted, the Taiwanese company's smacked an extremely enticing pricetag on this one. Ringing up at an aggressive $329.99, the 2.2-pound D255 looks almost identical to the D260 -- yes, even those with the worst of cataracts could tell it's an Aspire One from afar -- but in terms of specs it's got that notable difference of a brand new dual-core Atom N550 processor.

But not to worry, even though it's now the cheapest dual-core netbook around, it's still got the netbook standards -- including 1GB of RAM, 250GB hard drive and six-cell battery. The single-core version will go for $269.99, but we do have to say that shelling out that additional $50 for that extra core does buy you slightly faster performance (see our HP Mini 5103 review for some Atom N550 performance results). Sounds mighty tempting to us, but it still doesn't make us forget about that Chrome OS netbook Acer's been promising.
