Arman from manila, 19 Oct 2009this is my worst phone ever! i bought my acer dx900 at acce... moreArman, having a windows mobile phone needs to be understood. even htc has its quirks and the likes. the shutoff is set in the memory thingy where if the memory reaches a certain limit (e.g. 3MB where it is the default) it would shut down to release hogged memory which is the same case as other phones.
the only mistake that acer made was not to supply the package with 2 batteries instead of one. Unlike samsung where they provided 2 batteries for the i780.
given that this is a dual sim phone, they should have provided an extra battery and a separate charger like samsung did so that you always have an extra battery on hand to make it through the day.
I just bought a second battery and had the original one replaced at acer here in the philippines within warranty. as for the performance, it is good. as for the battery, it still is fair. using a different ROM. the 553 ROM still needs to be worked on but i dont think acer is looking at developing it. But being on call 24x7 and needing 2 sims at the same time, i cant let this go. the phone is feature rich and just needs to be patched. battery is the problem but i dont mind carrying a second batt instead of a second phone.

I don't agree about other people saying this phone is bad. But honestly, i feel the same way too before but once i got a hang of it, and updated the OS. It runs smoothly now and everything were better including the battery once i updated the firmware too. So i can say this dual sim pocket pc can make the competitors a run for their money. Its can be customize and optimize so you just need patience and lot of time to search for tips in the net. specially widgets, patch and updates. Its a boundless world out there in the web.

My main requirment is : GSM phone with double SIM working on Windows (apart from Eten glofiish DX900, since it is the same as Acer DX900).

the mobile has a software problem but was able to fix by replacing the os. I am now using wm6.5, running fine but with minor bugs. Help came from eten users forum. Solved the batt & freezing problem. Thanks to wm cooker at the forum.

Hi all,
I bought this mob. from Ryadh about 2 months ago for 2700 Ryals & ive received it a week ago.
The battery first didnt last for 18 hours & every time i put memory card the mob. freezes & need to remove battery coz it doesnt respond to reset button.
Then i heared about the firmware for battery & memory from Steve here in gsmarena.
They really improved the performance as now it didnt freeze since 4 days & battery lasts about day & half (240 minutes talking & always exploring it as its new, nearly 7 hours working on it per day).
then i found that some GPS programmes i downloaded are not working coz they need newer version of microsoft. net framwork & Wholy Quran needed microsoft embedded visual basic runtime c++. I downloaded them but didnt install yet.
Links to download all these are listed below but plz b4 proceeding go to start menu > programmes > utilities & do backup of the phone on memory card or in phone & copy it to laptop.
this link for official Acer patches (battery, memory card & operating system)
ftp://ftp.acer-euro.com/smartphone/dx900/patch/
link for C++ runtime: http://www.tweetchirp.com/Order_Support_F_Install_TCAEmulation.htm
or here
http://embedded-visual-basic-runtime.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C8174C14-A27D-4148-BF01-86C2E0953EAB&displaylang=en
(for microsoft. net framework 3.5)
But now im also facing problems & hope u can help me:
*Is there is no maps installed on this phone GPS?
*With every restart (boot) my net configuration is lost & when trying to edit it again it says there is connection with this conbfig. but it doesnt work & i keep deleting all net configs. & start again ?? can any 1 help in those issues?
I hope links above help & please post ur experience.
Sorry for so much talk :)

I bought this Acer last month in Jakarta, the battery only last less than 1 day. after one week, it started having problem with memory usage, very very slow when opening file,even for contact numbers. on the 2nd week, it's always freeze when internet connection is active, and to make it worst the reset button is not working when freezing, so you have to remove the battery to make it on again.. now on the 4th week, i cannot use anymore, because i cannot receive any call, didnt have response when i press the incoming call button, and my contact numbers list did not appear on the screen, only search bar appear without any detail..
