Acer A1 Android Phone Available for Pre-order; to Arrive with Android 2.0 on Board There's a new Android phone in town, or at least getting ready to arrive, the Acer A1. The phone is available now for pre-order for about $569 from eXpansys. What's even more exciting is the fact that the new phone is supposed to come with Android 2.0 on board, an OS version yet to be launched by Google.

Here's what you can expect from the Acer A1 once it hits the streets:

-Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
-Tri-band HSPA (850/1900/2100 MHz)
-3.5 inch WVGA touchscreen display
-Wi-Fi
-GPS
-Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP
-3.5mm headset jack
-5 megapixel autofocus camera
-Qualcomm 8250 processor running at 768MHz
-512MB ROM, 256MB RAM
-MicroSD card support
-Talk time: up to 300 minutes
-Standby time: up to 400 hours
-115 x 62.5 x 12.5 mm
-135 grams

All we need now are some arrival dates for various markets, not only Europe and we're good to go. Oh, and Google should get ready to launch Android 2.0 before the Acer A1 comes out. It's the proper thing to do!
