As a phone to do the basics, the Acer BeTouch E210 is fine. Call quality is alright and the decent keyboard makes texting and emailing no hassle. The touchscreen and mediocre camera are our main bugbears of Acer’s BeTouch E210. While you can...

If you're after a handset with the benefits of a BlackBerry, but at a lower price with a choice of more apps, there's plenty going for the Acer beTouch E210. It's good for messaging because of its useful keyboard, but the small display holds...

The Acer beTouch e210 might just about do for anybody who's in the market for a smartphone without much in the way of multimedia or happy to do without the rather mediocre quality of the touchscreen. Anybody addicted to their smartphone or browsing...

The strong sides of this phone are the fact it comes with Froyo - the Android craze is raging around the world - and its physical QWERTY, which is really comfy to use. Sadly, its cons overpower the Acer beTouch E210's pros. The browsing experience...
