First Acer-branded smartphone a Glofiish DX900 rebadge?
Engadget —
... of a device obtained through its acquisition of E-Ten. The Glofiish DX900 was announced in mid-2008 with dual-SIM support, GPS, a 3 megapixel camera, and a 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen riding a Windows Mobile 6.1 OS -- that all stays the same. In other words, if the leak is accurate, then this particular device will see a new logo and that's about it. Still, the MWC invite specifically said "smartphones launch" so we're not corking the fat lady just yet. [Via Unwired View] Filed under: Cellphones First Acer-branded smartphone a ...

New Acer Smartphone Evokes Deja Vu
Wired: Gadget Lab —
... In March 2008, Acer said it will acquire Taiwanese handset maker E-Ten. E-Ten had launched the Glofiish in Europe and Asia but the phone never became widely popular with users.
The Glofiish comes with dual-SIM support, which means users can have two numbers on the same phone. It also has a 3-megapixel
camera, FM radio, GPS and a 2.8-inch touchscreen with a Windows Mobile OS.
Acer is likely to keep the specs same and make very minor changes, says Unwired View.

Acer new phone is a Glofiish DX900?
Phones Review —
... it’s just a re-badge of the E-Ten Glofiish DX900 the company that was acquired by Acer.
The Glofiish DX900 was originally announced way back in mid 08 and features a 2.8 inch VGA touchscreen, 3 megapixel camera, GPD, dual SIM support, and runs on the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system.
So basically if this is true and Acer shows their first handset at MWC 2009 all we are really getting is the same E-Ten Glofiish DX900 sporting an Acer logo and that’s it.
