Acer Iconia Smart arrives at FCC with AT&T bands

In the States, it will most probably end up with the AT&T logo as the 850/1900/2100MHz bands are an exact match for AT&T. You can expect the latest of Android as the phone features Gingerbread powered by a Qualcomm MSM8255 processor clocked at 1GHz working in concert with 512MB of RAM.

Only a 1Ghz and 512 ram. What are they thinking. Not to impressed with that. The design looks good but way behind in the specs department. A good start for Acer, but I'll wait for my 3d EVO or Sensation.

1ghz phones are still current, so they aren't really behind at all

Yes but the phone is not future proof. I think that is what Firelock is saying. Low end phones soon will start having 1 GHz & 512 RAM. Today's high end phone is tomorrows low end phone. This is the nature of the tech business. At the rate the mobile industry is moving, it looks like this phone is not future proof at all.

I agree the spec are behind. With this phone being a little larger than normal 4.0-4.3 screen sizes would have liked to see a dual-core or a little higher clocked processor. Was kinda looking forward to this phone because its a little bigger than normal and I'm not really a fan of netbooks/tablets so this could possibly fill that void.

Can a phone be too big at some point? How comfortable would this be in someones pocket or on a belt clip?

Hmmm...interesting phone. And this phone is good enough not dual-core. I think you spec-hunters gotta realize, these manufacturers aren't looking to sell the phone to techies, they want to sell it to the public. Do you think the public cares about Dual-core? Or know what it is? Likely not. Besides, 1 Ghz is more than sufficient. Just look at the Evo.

The Iconia device is changing the way people use Smart-phones to view videos or movies. That 4.8" screen is a lot of real estate when compared to 3.7", 4.0" or even 4.3" screens, respectively.
Recall your geometry class, if you assume a 4:3 aspect ratio (i.e. a right triangle with the screen size being the hypotenuse) and use the formula of 1/2*b*h for the area of the triangle with the screen size being twice the area of said triangle:
then a 3.7" screen has an area of about 6.57 inches
then a 4.0" screen has an area of about 7.68 inches
then a 4.3" screen has an area of about 8.88 inches
then a 4.8" screen has an area of about 11.06 inches
The 4.8" screen is about 24.5% bigger than a 4.3" screen as a comparison. Please note Aconia doesn't have a 4:3 aspect ratio, but a 21:9 aspect ratio.
