Acer was among the first companies to join Windows Phone, but after releasing its W4 handset back in 2012, the company decided to abandon the platform, choosing instead to focus its mobile efforts exclusively on Android. But all that will soon change, as Acer prepares to return to Windows Phone in the coming weeks.

The W4 was released in the days of Windows Phone 7.5, but Acer decided to bail from the platform before the launch of the next OS version, Windows Phone 8. In June 2013, however, Acer showed a slide at a company event, which indicated that it was planning to launch a new handset in the first half of 2014, with the intention of providing “a unique experience across Win8 and WP8”.

Christmas has come early for those of us who use Skype for our international calls. Acer UK is running a worldwide* promotion on their Facebook page called the “Hello?” program which is giving away free one month “Unlimited World” subscriptions.
