During mid-2008 Acer announced plans to purchase E-Ten and make an entry into the smartphone market.  Well, fast forward about six-months and it seems that the first Acer branded smartphone will soon be announced. 

Sadly, it may not come as an exciting announcement because it looks like that first handset is going to be a re-branding of an already existing Glofiish handset.  That’s right, rumor has it that the first Acer smartphone will be nothing more than the Glofiish DX900.

Of course, all things considered, the DX900 is a pretty nice handset.  Aside from the fact that it is dual-sim capable it also includes 3.5G and 2G support.  Additionally, the DX900 also features a 3-megapixel camera, a 2.8-inch VGA quality touchscreen display, GPS, Wi-Fi and is running Windows Mobile 6.1.

As of now, this is still just in the rumor stage, however an official announcement from Acer is expected to come during Mobile World Congress 2009.
