hey guys its brand a minimun from pocketnow.com and this is the hard work toward the acer d x 900 and again this is one of the very few devices in the world or ever made do you have two sim card slots so you can actually have two phone lines on this device at one time and in the next video we're going to talk all about how you actually manage to phone lines from one device what is it like when someone calls you on one line what happens if you want a conference what happens if you want to make a call from line one or line two we'll talk all about that but before that let's talk about hardware so let's talk a little bit about specifications this device is running windows mobile 6.1 professional it has two sim card slots but each sim card slot has different radio frequencies associated with it so the first sim card slot is the 3g slot so it is hsdpa in UMTS with the 850 nineteen hundred and twenty one hundred bands megahertz bands and this will actually work with 3g in the u.s. i'm using AT&T right now and in my area 850 850 megahertz is the band that is used for UMTS so i am getting hsdpa on this now that first sim card slot will also do quad-band gsm and edge with 850 900 1800 and 1900 megahertz now the second sim clock sim card slot does not do 3g it has just GSM tribe and so only nine hundred eighteen hundred and nineteen hundred megahertz on that the processor is 533 megahertz it's a samsung processor it's got 256 megabytes of flash ROM but it has microSD expansion as we'll see plus it has 128 megabytes of sdram we'll talk more about specifications on pocketnow.com we make the post but that should give you an idea of what we're talking about here this device also has an accelerometer so that in every screen there is screen rotation and we're going to talk more about that in the software review the design of the acer d x 900 is not very progressive and it's not very sleek it actually looks like a device that may have been released a few years ago it doesn't have the clean lines of you know the touch of diamond to or even the touch HD and also it feels quite hefty in hand it is not a thin device it's not a I wouldn't call it a sexy device you may disagree but let's let's take a tour around the device see what we have here on the front here we have the light sensor next to the front-facing video camera here's the earpiece and as you can see a little blink there there is a status indicator light to tell you if you have a new messenger if you're charging the battery or something like that going down here we have a call start and call end button and now you would think that you may have two sets of these instead of one since there are two phone lines but it's all done through the software and then we have a d-pad here a nice predominant d-pad up down left right and center going off to the other side we have a volume rocker here next to a record button and the jack for not this is in 3.5 millimeter this is 2.5 millimeter actually which is kind of annoying its non-standard not many people use that smaller adapter but I guess it's better than nothing going to the bottom we have a mini USB port that is used for syncing and charging on the other side of the device we have a camera button a dual action camera button so it has autofocus a microSD slot which is external and thus hot-swappable that's good here's a soft reset hole and to the right of that is the power on and off button flipping over to the back we have the autofocus camera which does indeed have a flash that's good and then we have two holes which make it look like this device has dual speakers but I doubt that's actually the case now the camera is three megapixels this is a kind of rubbery coating so it feels solid in hand again it feels thick in hand though if we take off the back battery cover we see the battery which is up sighs 1530 milliamp hours and that's pretty much it for the hardware tour of the acer d x 900 again the design isn't very progressive and not very sexy but beauty is in the eye of the beholder you may disagree on that front the really interesting thing about this phone is that dual SIM card functionality which we're going to talk a lot more about coming up in the next review where we're actually going to test it and show you how it works that's it for now
