Aww, that’s too bad.  If Acer’s Android phones are anything like the Asus P565 that came back to life recently (which they should be with the uberfast 1GHz Snapdragon CPUs), we will definitely be missing a lot of firepower this year.  No reason has been mentioned by Acer for the delay, but the company has reportedly hit some snags with US carriers pushing the likely release date to 2010.  Still, a passing remark from Mr. Aymar de Lencquesaing, head of Acer Smartphone Division, gives us a glimmer of hope that we will could see some of that Acer sweetphones in time for the holiday season.

Update: Looks like Acer is going to release some cellphones this year after all.  An email from Acer PR to Gearlog has cleared up the whole situation and we should be seeing some Acer smartphones Stateside just in time to woo the holiday shoppers this Christmas.
