We've been waiting to get our hands on one of Acer's Tempo smartphones for a little while now, following on from the company's acquisition of phone manufacturer E-Ten last year.
The Acer X960 is the first Tempo model to land in the What Laptop office, and while it lacks stand-out features, it remains a well-equipped handset.
The most noticeable thing about the X960 is its size – at 14mm in depth it's thicker than most of its rivals, and it'll leave a definite bulge in your pocket. That said, the X960 is a comfortable phone to hold and use, and sits nicely in the hand.
Style-wise, the X960 owes more than a little to previous E-Ten, with similar two-tone colouring, a contrasting stripe around the sides and top, and GPS imprinted in big letters on the top. Build quality will also be familiar to owners of E-Ten handsets, using the same soft-touch plastics on the rear.
