One of Acer's mystery smartphones exposed, doesn't look so smart

Acer has a flamenco-themed party in store for Mobile World Congress attendees, pledging to finally unveil its oft-delayed line of smartphone debutantes amidst a flurry of stomping feet and clapping hands. Unfortunately for the proud parent it seems one randy model just couldn't keep quiet until then, caught in the wild by Mr. Blurrycam with its QWERTY showing. No details are known beyond its rather chunky look when the keyboard is positioned like this, but we'll surely have all the details for you in about two weeks -- after politely excusing ourselves from the dance floor, of course.

Judging by the shape of the keyboard, it somehow rolls under the device. It would be a piece of interesting design, if it worked that way.

It looks more like a dock then anything, but without a background it's hard to judge the distances and angles.

I think it actually looks like a refreshing design change.

Definitely looks like some sort of charging dock with a qwerty keyboard... different.
