just received it yesterday and the phone is awesome. only problem currently is the phone screen ratio is 20:9 and most of the apps are made to fit 16:9 ratio. so I'm seeing ugly black space on the bottom half of my screen

    all acers are of cheaply made did you see the close up of these things. it looks like it was made by street kids in china.
    again they should stick to making cheap laptops.

          but it has better resolution and is on android.
          acer should stick to making cheap laptops.

            Seen lots of comment on dual-SIM, how is it useful in Europe and USA? Thought this is only useful in China? Comments please?

              looks real promising. the wide aspect ratio allows bigger screens to fit in the same sized pocket. a metal body is always preffered. the question is will they get the telephony part right; that is recpetion, & noise cancellation and or adequate volume.

                                Well 1024x480 WAS impressive back in 2009 when sharp used it

                                ...It is NOT "impressive" years later on a 20% larger screen...

                                PLEASE hold your superlatives to where they are appropriate....

                                        What a shame, when this was partly revealed late last year it was probably the best Android and could have justified a high price, but NOW with what SAMSUNG, LG, & SE have announced at MWC, the Iconia is a bit late to the party, it better be decently priced if Acer want a good piece of the market share pie.
