Acer F1,C1,L1 and E1 rolling out under different names?
Back at MWC 2009, Acer stated F1, C1, L1 and E1 were merely code names and that it was quite likely the corresponding handsets hit the shelves under different names. A blog called Clove has posted information that reveals the names and release dates of the four devices as well as parts of their specifications. They roll out on 6 October and all four will be running Windows Mobile 6.5. So, here are the names of the smartphones, at least according to Clove:
Clove has always been a reliable source of information, so we do not doubt its credibility. Still, remember this are loose details, so we cannot be entirely sure if the information is accurate or not, at least until Acer has made an official announcement. Anyway, it seems 6 October will prove to be a really interesting day, so stay tuned for updates.
