Acer quietly announces the Windows Phone running Allegro

27 October, 2011

In the quietest fashion, Acer announced the Windows Phone 7.5 running Allegro handset. The company's first device running Microsoft's mobile OS aims (as always) for a piece of the mid-range market.

In terms of specs, you get a 1GHz single-core Qualcomm CPU and 8GB of built-in storage. The screen is a 3.6" LCD unit with WVGA resolution. A 5MP camera with LED flash can be found on the back of the device. The usual connectivity suite is on board. The Allegro is powered by a 1300 mAh battery. Its measures stand at 116 x 59 x 13mm, and its weight is 126 grams.

The smartphone will hit the shelves in France mid-November in the above shown color schemes. In case you are interested, it will cost you €299.

WP7 has great potential: full ecosystem to work with (windows8 + winphone) deep pockets (nokia + microsoft) if they can consistently polish up winphone it wouldnt be surprising if it eats up huge market share to do that: more 3rd part...
