hey guys it's brandon minimun from pocket now calm and in this video we're going to unbox the acer be touchy 200 this is a windows mobile 6.5 professional device the very interesting form factor it has a slide down numeric keypad we really haven't seen this form factor too much in the windows mobile world it's also very inexpensive at three hundred and fifty dollars unlocked which is very much on the cheaper end of unlocked smartphones that you can buy out there so it's really targeted towards the budget user so let's take a look at the be touchy 200 okay so there's a guy in a girl on the front so you can see how the slider comes down here to reveal with the numeric keypad let's take a look around the box and look at the specifications all right and the specs are on the back and we'll zoom in here so it's running windows mobile 6.5 professional it's got the Qualcomm MSM and UMTS meaning you won't get 3g in the US only in Europe so it's 920 100 bands and then it's quad-band GSM so you'll get edge if you're in the u.s. of course 512 megabytes of RAM for storage 256 megabytes of RAM and then it's got a 3-inch 400 x 240 s so that would be wqvga touchscreen so not the highest resolution that you're going to find on a device but again this is a budget phone and it's only you know three hundred and fifty dollars that's what you can expect so let's see what we got all right so we'll take a look at the device in a moment let's see the accessories that come in the box I think we have the swivel outward box design that comes with all of the newer acer devices so we've got here manual and some software alright and a nice screen protector for the touchscreen good to have see what else we have down here we have a mini-usb instead of micro USB the battery is of size 11 hundred and forty forty million power so a little bit on the small side and let's see what we have in the other compartment here probably some headphones and a charging and syncing jack and that sort of thing alright so let's take a look at the be touch me 200 okay so here it is it will take off the screen protector here nice looking device and the really cool thing about this is that it has the slide down keyboard something you really don't see on a windows mobile device too often so it's very convenient to be able to use t9 to text people or to quickly dial the number without bringing up the on-screen dialer relatively thin device got a nice rubbery coating on the back which means that it won't be a fingerprint magnet it's got a stylus of course because it has a resistive touchscreen which is collapsible so pretty cool we're going to talk a lot more about hardware and see how the build quality is on this device it's nice to see a traditional d-pad here a lot of newer devices for windows mobile don't have the d-pad really cuts down on one-handed usability very small device let's compare it to other devices like the google nexus one which obviously doesn't have any sort of keypad or keyboard and the nexus one is going to be thinner we can look at it next to the HTC touch pro2 or the AT&T tilt two and again you really see the the benefit of having the smaller screen and makes it a much more compact form factor than one of these larger devices and next to the iphone screen is about three inches on the be touchy 200 so a lot more coming up on the be touch etude we're going to talk about software now the hardware holds up and whether this is a good form factor to have since we don't see it too often so we'll be back with a lot more on the beat touch e 200 that's it for now
