Sick of huge touchscreens or sliding keyboards? Check out the Acer beTouch E130

Something about all the Android phones out today is that they all seem to have one of two form factors. Either a large touchscreen only device, or one with a sliding (or flipping) keyboard. Enter the Acer beTouch E130. It has a monoblock qwerty form factor that will have previous Blackberry and some Windows Mobile users feeling right at home.

Featuring a 2.6-inch QVGA touch screen, 256MB of RAM, 512MB of ROM, and a 416 MHz processor and runs Android 1.6 as well as an optical trackpad. Now just looking at those specs you would think it’s the worst Android phone ever. But without a huge screen you probably won’t be running many medi-acentric applications. And the form factor will probably appeal most to texters and emailers.

    I actually prefer the large touchscreen and slide out keypad of my dext, but i can very much see the market appeal of this device. Longer battery life should be a reality, and the popularity of blackberry despite the awful os shows the popularity of the form factor. I won’t be buying one, but i can see many others doing so.
