In the beginning of this year Acer announced its intentions to enter the smartphones arena. In fact, it had also announced quite a few models back then.
Fast forward a few months and on the eve of the arrival of Windows Mobile 6.5, the company decides to rename its phones - just to highlight its "touch" moniker. The newly named phones are the neoTouch, beTouch E100, beTouch E101 and beTouch E200.
Each of these device had a different name at the time of their announcement. The neoTouch was the F1, beTouch was the C1, beTouch E101 was the E1 and the beTouch E200 was the L1. All these phones are expected to be released in the UK later this week for prices between 200 (approx. Rupees Fourteen Thousand) and 370 (approx. Rupees Twenty thousand). The most interesting device obviously is the Snapdragon powered neoTouch which, at least on paper, looks to be a powerhouse.
Acer's renaming strategy is in line with other manufacturers' who have adopted the "touch" moniker for their line of phones too. The best examples would be Samsung's TouchWiz and HTC's TouchFLO. As of now, the renaming seems limited only to Acer's Windows Mobile powered devices. Later this year, with the company expected to bring its Android powered device it would be interesting to see if the neoTouch branding is extended there as well.
