Adéu, Barcelona: MWC 2010 draws to a close
For the industry, the press, and phone geeks alike, the GSMA's Mobile World Congress in the lovely Catalonian capital of Barcelona is the biggest event of the year -- and apart from a few unplanned power outages at Engadget's home base, an average nightly rest hovering around three hours, and unseasonably cold weather, 2010's gathering didn't disappoint. Let's take a quick look back at some of the highlights: Windows Phone 7 Series coverage Windows Phone 7 Series: that's the name Live from Microsoft's Windows Phone press event at MWC 2010 Windows Phone 7 Series hands-on and impressions (updated with video) Editorial: Engadget on Windows Phone 7 Series Windows Phone 7 Series: everything you ever wanted to know Liveblogs Live from Samsung's 2010 MWC press event Live from Sony Ericsson's MWC 2010 press conference Live from Nokia's (and Intel's) MWC 2010 press event Live from Microsoft's Windows Phone press event at MWC 2010 Live from HTC's MWC 2010 press event Live from Eric Schmidt's keynote at MWC 2010 Hands-ons Aava Mobile's Intel Moorestown prototype hands-on Acer Liquid e, beTouch E110 / E400, and neoTouch P300 / P400 hands-on Alcatel OT-980 with Android hands-on, we feel frugal just looking at it Bug Labs' BUGbase 2.0 prototype hands-on Chumby prototype with Marvell innards spotted at MWC 2010 Garmin-Asus Nuvifone M10 and A50 hands-on General Mobile's Touch Stone: how can something so wrong be so right?

Acer Liquid e, beTouch E110 / E400, and neoTouch P300 / P400 hands-on
Acer took MWC rather seriously this year with no fewer than five phone intros to its name spanning the range from Android to Windows Mobile 6.5.3 , so we went ahead and put our hands on all of them today. Starting at the bottom of the range, the lowly beTouch E110 is obviously designed to compete head-to-head with the likes of the HTC Tattoo -- in fact, it apes the Tattoo's design pretty closely in some respects. Unlike Acer's higher-end Android phones, the E110 uses a custom skin that seems pretty well-suited for its QVGA resolution, and it's still managing 3.6Mbps HSDPA in your choice of 900 / 2100 and 850 / 1900 flavors for different areas of the world.
