In this video we unbox the Acer beTouch E200 Windows Mobile 6.5 phone which has an interesting slide-down numeric keypad that we don’t see much in the world of smartphones. The device is running with a Qualcomm 528MHz CPU with 256MB of RAM. While the E200 is mostly a plain vanilla phone with few thrills, it’s rather inexpensive at just £215 ($350) over at Clove. The device is sold unlocked and will work with any GSM carrier, but it lacks the bands necessary to get 3G in the US.

Coming up soon we’ll take a closer look at the hardware on the beTouch E200 and tour the software.
