Next, the X960 ups the ante with HSUPA and 7.2Mbps maximum on the downlink, a revised 3D user interface, and a 3.2 megapixel cam -- it too should be populating Europe and Asia as we speak."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/ppct/auto/1242188958.usr14226.jpg" style="border: 0px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>If you remember my<a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/news/show/93653/bad-news-for-us-acer-fans.html" target="_blank"> last post on Acer's 8-model blitz</a>, neither of these models are likely to be seen in the US until next year. While these aren't exactly earth-shaking entries in the Windows Mobile sweepstakes, both are solid devices that should fit someone's budget and needs. I do wonder though if any US carrier would be willing to tolerate a dual-SIM device like the DX900. We'll (hopefully) have live pictures of the DX900 for you sometime this week - stay tuned.</p>
