Acer beTouch E210 announced, packing portrait QWERTY and Froyo

Acer is also making itself heard at the CES show, with the unveiling of an LTE-enabled tablet for Verizon. Next in line for the company is the just-unveiled the Acer beTouch E210 in the fairly unorthodox for Android phones portrait QWERTY form factor with an optical trackpad. The phone is laden with Android 2.2, and packs a 2.6" display, which on top of that is of the capacitive touch variety.

The messaging device has an ST-Ericsson PNX6715 processor, clocked at 416MHz, which comes to show how little Android Froyo needs to keep him happy. It also sports 512MB RAM/256MB ROM, a 3MP camera, and the usual suspects - WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, a microSD card slot, microUSB port, and even throws in an FM receiver. The handset measures 4.5"x2.44"x0.43" (115x62.5x11.5mm) and it weighs merely 3.84oz (109g). There is a fairly generous 1300mAh battery in Acer's QWERTY-packing Android messenger.
 

The Acer beTouch E210 sports Europe/Asia 3G frequencies, and will be available in the UK on March 11 in black or silver for a yet-undisclosed price.
