We are all aware that Acer is one of the many companies planning to dip their hands in the telecom industry and apparently with this announcement, people who feel that they were just rumors may finally take Acer seriously. Mobile distributor Data Select and IT distributor Micro P will distribute Acer’s smartphones as the manufacturer attempts to break into the mobile handset market. Discussions with operators are still ongoing.

The manufacturer revealed four Windows Mobile handsets at Mobile World Congress this year in Barcelona named the M900, F900, X960, DX900. The handsets will come with the new Windows Mobile 6.5 software.

Acer bought fellow Taiwanese manufacturer E-TEN in March 2008 in a clear bid to go for the mobile phone market. There are 10 smartphones set for this year. Acer has already released prices of two low-end smart phones costing just €49 (£43). The handsets are codenamed the C1 and E1.
