"On the 21:9 screen you can watch a movie in its original format, for an engrossing cinema-like experience." 😳

Which Carrier?
T-Mobile, AT&T?
It says HSDPA 14.4, so it would be interesting if it was like the 2nd or 4th hspa phone from t-mobile.

Hmm, well Tmo is bringing HSPA 21mb/s phones to market, but AT&T is only supporting 14mb/s at this time, as they ALWAYS tend to be behind everyone else, even T-Mobile.
So perhaps this beastly smatphone will end up with AT&T.

mmmmm tasty
i want that ACER Phone bad. near perfect specs, but i think i might go for the MT4G because of HSPA+ support for T-Mobile's network and because the MT4G carriers onboard wifi-calling. yea you lose an inch but you gain a foot "corny joke trumpet plays" waaa waaaaaa waaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaa
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!! AMAZING!!! Their laptops are actually very reliable, I expect nothing less from this tasty dish!!!
T-Mobile has a network??? 🙄

Wishing for Pentaband 3G
Why should someone have to choose between AT&T or T-Mobile. Let it have 3G on all frequencies.
hope it' not heavy like dell garbage!
Dell 5" steak weights 220grams!
Dell venus pro weights 195grams!
try holding 2 cellphones and see how comfortable is that!

mmmmmmmm "steak"....
But smaller than the streak.
No 4g radio. What a shame. Next spring most carriers should have added more 4g markets. Why would Acer introduce a nice looking phone with 3g phone in the spring. Not for me. I would only buy 4g phones in 2011.

And it's got the specs of one beastly smartphone too!!!
Yea suddenly my EVO feels small and insignificant now. 👀
No 4g Radio - LTE or WiMax? Not for me

A lot can change by the time this thing is ready for the market.
