Review: ACER X960 First Impressions

The device has a rubberized back which gives a good grip when held in hand and due to the slim design, its easy to hold. The sides of the phone have a nice metallic finish. You have a set of buttons 4 in front (call, GPS shortcut, Home shortcut, end call) along with the D-pad in the center and 4 on the left side (volume up/down control, reset hole, voice recorder) and 2 on the right (power, camera). The battery needs to be removed in order to insert your SIM card.
