Acer Iconia Smart

   The high-end smartphone Acer has announced at Mobile World Congress was the Iconia Smart. Now I am not sure how will be received by the customers but it reminds me of the Dell Streak which was too big for a smartphone and too small for a tablet. I do not understand the design of Iconia Smart and why they made the screen so long and big. It`s looks like you are holding a remote control for a TV in your hands and not a smartphone.

-- DISPLAY: 4.8 inch LED edge-lit capacitive touch WVGA 480 x 1024 pixels screen, 16M colors.
-- CPU:  Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz processor.
-- MEMORY:  512 MB RAM.
-- STORAGE:  8GB for internal, 512 ROM, microSD card slot up to 32GB.
-- CAMERA:  Primary - 8MP camera for full HD video recording (up to 1080p, MPEG-4/H.264).
Secondary - 2MP video chat, video calling.
-- CONNECTIVITY:  3G HSPA+, HSUPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, NFC, DLNA, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, micro-USB port v 2.0, HDMI port, 3.5 mm headphone jack, A-GPS.
-- SENSORS:  Accelerometer, Proximity, Gyroscope (six-axis).
-- BATTERY:  Li-Po 1500 mAh
-- MULTIMEDIA:  Touch sensitive controls, Dolby Mobile sound.
-- OS:  Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Acer UI 4.2, Adobe Flash 10.1 support.
-- APPLICATIONS:  Google Apps, social networking.

   They say it`s 100% smartphone and 100% tablet. But for me it looks like 50% smartphone and 50% tablet - the same as Dell Streak. Sure is nice to watch movies at 21:9 format with high sound quality and probably the internet browsing is great. But I would not buy this phone, even if has the curved screen design.
