Acer Liquid

The Liquid, like many other devices of its time faces an identity crisis – good hardware/could-be-better platform and the resulting mediocrity. Priced at Rs. 24,900, it must be said, the Liquid needs a few firmware upgrades to niggle out some of the unexpected quirks we ran into – something in stark divergence to the polished image Acer would obviously wish it projected. It’s a bit pricey to merit approval anyways. Acer’s Liquid created quite a stir upon arrival. Unfortunately, it’s living proof of the adage first opinions are not necessarily the last. Let that be the solitary spoiler. The handset is well packaged and the accessories while adequately encompassing have mediocre build quality. For example, despite our genteel handling, we managed to tear the foam pads while putting them on to the earphones – the foam just ripped from the seam – something we’ve not seen much of and is quite unexpected at this price point. The handset itself is quite well sculpted with a curving top and base breathing life into a basic design. The white / black colour scheme is spot on – the phone is pure white everywhere except for the top and bottom and the front that is given a translucent black finish that blends the bezel and screen into a single plane – the only interrupt here being the bold “acer” moniker above the function symbols marked on the surface and of course the earpiece that is located above the 3.5-inch, capacitive-touch display.

Product Survey: Mobiles & Smartphones

You'll have to make do with version 1.6 of Android, aka Donut, but Acer has added its own set of apps, some of which are more useful than others. With a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor running at 768 MHz, it also promises to be speedy. But what are its strengths and weaknesses? Can the Liquid, a smartphone with a very accessible price tag, stand up to its more high-end competition? Let's take a look. The look and feel of any phone count for a lot, and in the a world of increasingly similar smartphones, every now and again one comes along with a different style. That's the case with the Liquid, especially with the white version, although it also comes in black and red. It stands out from the crowd, so you'll either like it or loathe it. Either way, though, it's hard to have nothing to say about the design. Although the large 3.5'', 800 x 480 screen has enough brightness and contrast to win over mobile web addicts, or fans of online video, the thickness and large dimensions of the handset left us a little baffled. There are only a few millimetres of difference between the and the Liquid, but the latter seems much bigger. One more important, and disappointing, difference, is that the Liquid's display doesn't support multitouch, so to zoom, you need to use a separate touch-based zoom control that is a lot less accurate.

Acer Liquid

With no disrespect to HTC, Samsung, or Motorola, it's nice to see an Android phone from someone new. Not that the former three don't make great devices; it's just nice to see a fresh face in the crowd every once in a while, and in this instance, that face is Acer. Once again, our friends at eXpansys USA hooked us up and sent us the Acer Liquid, the company's first Android device. It's a solid offering and even comes with a number of extras that enhance the phone's multimedia capabilities. However, the Liquid doesn't surge with power and hit some speed bumps during our testing period, so we wouldn't recommend it for anyone who needs a high-performance device. It's more of a middle-of-the-road offering for consumers that'll help you stay organized and connected, while having a little fun along the way. The Acer Liquid is currently available in the U.K. and is heading to Canada's Rogers Wireless this spring. There are no plans to bring it to the U.S., but you can buy one unlocked for around $400. Design Like a number of other Android devices, the Acer Liquid is an all touch-screen device but has more of a fun, hip side to it.

Acer Liquid review: Android breed

The Android meter is ticking. Acer want a piece of the pie. We all add two and two together. Yesterday, Acer didn't know the first thing about phones (if you can say that for a household name in notebooks), today they're betting on two horses in the mobile OS race. After their neoTouch running on Windows Mobile 6.5, Acer decided to dip their toe into another kind of water - the free and open source world of Android. This time attention goes to the Liquid - the company's second Snapdragon powered device. We have to admit we weren't as impressed as we wished by the neoTouch and its almost naked Windows Mobile OS. It was less the price and more the really strong competition that drew our attention away from it. We're certain it's not how Acer planned it to be and their answer was immediate - the sexy Liquid powered by Android 1.6. Just like the neoTouch, a Snapdragon core is ticking inside the Liquid and does all it can to run the OS flawlessly despite the slightly lower clock rates. Both lists give us a sense of deja-vu. It was a similar case with the neoTouch, but this time the situation is a bit different.
