Acer Liquid - User Reviews

  • Android 1.6?! Yeah you can't do anything on that!

  • All I have to say is this is the WORST phone that has ever been made. My apps delete from the phone if their own accord and won't reinstall though I try on countless occasions. My apps that do remain, always has a fault and suddenly "stop responding" every 2 seconds. Note that I never had this problem when I had my Samsung Galaxy phone. I would never recommend this phone to anyone. It has brought me more stress in the past month of ownership than I have experience in all my life of existing.

  • I purchased two z630 online from Walmart, should have made return immediately,but needed phones. They take two minutes to start extremely annoying. For this reason can’t recommend Acer phones

  • I wont get another Acer. Sreen is dyeing in less than a year of use.The brightnes of the screen goes off by itself. The time and date gets changes with no reason. No good.Never again

  • I wouldn't have another Acer phone given. 2 hour battery life. Constantly freezes. Lousy camera .Never again!!

  • Acer company... please help me.my phone can not be charging... 17/07/2016.... help me.

  • no tv out mhl/avl connection

  • Acer has always been tied to Microsoft, and its engineers and designers cannot think in a different way.Acer UI in features is nice, but usability not so much. I wish they would just do a version of Androidwith widgets for the card decks and enhance the notifcation bar to match the Acer UI.

  • Where to buy the battery of this unit? Acer liquid metal here in Singapore and in Philippines. Tnx alot!

  • does this phone has Adobe Flash Player???

  • I just bought 1 Acer liquid 1.6 donut , The text is so sharp and vivid. Its worth the prize, quite fast and elegant. Though you should familiarize urself with the botton within a week time.

  • it's great ... realy great ... i bought it from the phones shop .. i'm so happy .. to get this fuckiiiing beautiful phoooone it's wonderful mobile phone ... ^_^

  • i think u should ask people about acer bec samsung is populer than acer but i think acer looks cool

  • I'm about to buy this phone (acer liquid )but I'm Confused between it and Samsung galaxy mini !! what do you recommend (acer liquid) or (galaxy mini)???

  • My men Mohammed you had 4 questions, here are 4 answers to your needs! 1 Batterylife is one of the biggest problems with touchscreen devices, you gotta be happy if it goes 1.5 days on full charge, mines worser. If you surf on internet, do it via wifi, 2g/3g costs a lots of battery. Or just buy an other battery with higher mAH. 2. You cant connect your bluetooth to an Iphone, because iphone connects only with an other iphone. But you can use the program BUMP (search on market)With other phones, it shouldnt be a problem. 3.Games and aplications you can download in the market and video call(your phone has no secondary camera on the front, so its not possible) 4- There are root programs that I may not write here. But you can search root on the market to find programs to root your phone. You can update your phone till android 2.3 Just search 2.3 rom for Acer Liquid on go0gle, you´ll come far. I wish you lots of luck. Gr. Mehmet from the Netherlands

  • Hello i want to know that i can play G-sensor games on this Acer Liquid S100 or not? games like car racing without touching only by tilting the mobile. Thanks

  • Great phone, now upgraded to CM7 (Gingerbread 2.3.4) thanks to unlocked bootloader and mod community.

  • My acer suddenly stopped producing sound. Any way to fix it or know the cost? Thinking of buying a new phone instead :|

  • U know its great phone it does not have any problem with the battery if u have 2.1 android software u must upgrade it to 2.2 android software so u can pass the battery problem so u must go get this phone man this is great phone ACER U ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

  • I had the same problem. I just bought launcher pro to solve it. If you decide to do the same, I advise you to get homeswitcher from the market, to manage the launchers. You may also try other launchers, but launcher pro and DWZ are pretty good.just give it a try and prove it yourself.

  • I have been running Android 2.2 on this phone for 2 weeks now, and its running pretty good. Pretty stable and the battery runs longer - 2 days - with moderate use (sms, 4 or 5 calls/day, 2 hours/day using WiFi). I just rooted it using Z4Root.apk, and with TerminalEmulater I was able to delete some useless (for me) programs from Acer. Besides the cheap plastic lateral buttons, it's a pretty good phone indeed.

  • how to upgrade it to 2.1

  • the new one runs with android 2.1 and that is what i got. to conserve on battery u must close running apps u dont use. download killapps so everynow and then u close apps u dont use

  • I love this phone...i dont know why many say that battery is a problem.i think that if you make some setings you will have a good batery...all the smartphones with android eats battery depending of reduced setings and task manager...so'if you want data sinc all the time,a big screen contrast,youtube and other media and internet apps,there is no smart phone with good battery life.the screen has a hi resolution even is 256K....someone has numbered the colors??only when customers says yes' the screen has 156k we quicly make a psihologic questions. Lol my phone has "only" 256k!finally' i want to thanks acer for this amazing phone:)

  • no !!! this mobile is android 1.6 but you can update it to android 2.1 ( eclair ) or 2.2 ( froyo ) or 2.3 ( genger beard )

  • it is the best mobile with android 2.1

  • 1.6 donut cant get updated to 2.1 does anyone know how to?

  • Mine has 2.2 but it doesn't switch between acer UI and android UI why????

  • Better to buy Samsung Galaxy S or Optimus 2X. The os is 1.6, and ram is also less.

  • the biggest problem ! it doesn,t support multitouch ! so ther's no game in it !

  • Acer s100 Liquid smartphonemade in China doesnot have arabic language in messaging or keypad? how to add arabic language in it???

  • I got this smartphone 1 year ago,, it's nice and has huge applications , but I found a problem with it's Mic, many calls I do it the other side not hearing me so I've to recall to talk.. Overall it was nice experience.

  • Have this phone since feb '10 and have been running a custom froyo rom for atleast 2 months now. It works GREAT!!! Gingerbread 2.3 has already been ported and almost everything is working fine. We'll definately have an AOSP 2.3 in a couple of weeks time. GREAT DEVICE!!!

  • liqued a that you see now .... lequed e is yhe ferrari edition.

  • liqued a that you se now .... lequed e is yhe ferrari edition.

  • it,s the most phone in acer have a good specsy yet !!!! don,t make a compare between it & any other brand. and remember !!! it just a smartphone !!!!

  • Hi.. What are the differences between Acer Liquid and Acer Liquid E?

  • i wouldn't have thought so

  • Ferrari E got upgrade to Froyo at Singapore Acer website... not sure suitable for Liquid A ?

  • Please tell me how to change the storage to sd card

  • It will not get the 2.2.. Cause of marketing reason! But you can get some custom or leak of froyo for the A1, at modaco for exemple.

  • Come on ! We are Acer supporters for Android...Acer dont forget to upgrade A1 to 2.2 Froyo.... We are waiting.......

  • It seems Liquid users dont deserve 2.2... only Liquid E :S

  • Somehow i doubt this phone will get 2.2... or at least soon :\

  • Froyo 2.2 official update available in Canada....Liquid Metal launched too..Coming to Asia soon.....

  • Can't wait to try out 2.2 ! Although i'm dam satisfied with 2.1 upgrade...live wallpaper is wonderful...to keep the day move on. 2.2 official countdown ??

  • I have this phone comes with froyo, its great. The only problem is the Acer UI is sluggish and Acer Setting occasionally hang. I use the Android UI its perfect and use Android Setting its rock solid. You can select between the 2 UI. Great phone, for the price.

  • anyone got any news on weather there's gonna be an official 2.2 froyo update for this phone,i know there's an unofficial one available..thanks

  • anyone got any news on weather there's gonna be an official 2.2 froyo update for this phone,i know there's an unofficial one available..thanks

  • i was very satisfied with this phone....much more when i update it into 2.0

  • ACER LIQUID -E for me was trash. Maybe I got a lemon but after the 8 hour charge.....it would re-charge. The first day the batterywas dying before nightfall & not from overuse. I had a new sim card...so couldn't be that. Even plugged in I couldn't it to power on. So off the FIDO.....their service guys couldn't get it to work either so now it's being shipped back by UPS..... not really interested in trying it again. For the short time I had use...I didn't enjoy it. Difficult to edit....tech support limited.

  • can i use the wap service on the acer liquide i know that it has a gprs but i m only intersted in the wap service so if someone have already tried it and it did work or if someone have an aswer plz can u send me on [email protected]

  • Emr... !! Just updated to 2.1 from Acer site..so fast go for 2.2 already..?? THat's great news if really available. Cheers.

  • Android 2.2 Foyo is NOW available for Acer Liquid (leaked). After being tested for a few hours, no bugs have been found so far. Official version will be released next month.

  • Hi, Jus saw from Acer singapore site. OS2.1 available :1.100.63.AAP.CAR1 Is this the one to upgrade from OS1.6 2.000.25.AAP.SGP ?

  • 2.1 comes with phones in N. America

  • the phone runs android 2.1 not 1.6 as stated here..it comes with 2.1 installed

  • can i remove programmes which are inbuilt?

  • @ Abhishek this phone doesn't have camera on the front..then it is not to make video calls.

  • Is it possible to make video calling from liquid S100?

  • The UK site actually has Android 2.1 available for download, the problem might be what Acer version you are using. I bought a UK version with Acer's GEN1 Android version on (not what they are showing on the UK site). Still not a problem, just download GEN1 official update: OS_Acer_1.100.39.EMEA.GEN1_A21E_A

  • it might be cause your sim card is the older sim cards i know it sounds stupid but i just got the x10 and everytime i put my old sim card in it says i have like 2% battery left but when i put the new sim card my carrier sent me it works fine hope that solves your problem

  • As a reply to my own post i finally got the 2.1update...well happy

  • Contacted acer uk about possible 2.1 update for the liquid in the uk,this was what they said.........At the moment there are no plans to update the OS on the liquid..... So there you go acer stuffs it to the british,thats the last time i'm ever buying one of there products. just gonna have to make do with 1.6...though i am saving up for a galaxy s

  • Android system is OS it is like Windows on your PC. You cannot switch it off. There are open apps on task management that help you kill unwanted processes.

  • hi there can anyone explain to me what does the android system do in acer liquid ? the android system is also using so much charge in my acer liquid , how can i switch the andriod system off? because i keep charging my phone like 4 times a a day and its never full charged , the battery indicator shows that the android system is using 70-97%of the battery cahrge .please help me out

  • There's no 2.1 update here in the uk...so I'm still on donut,anyone know if its coming to the uk and if so when.

  • Official 2.1 update from Acer is already available. It performs very well.

  • So excited and anxious....wondering when can Liquid A OS upgrade to 2.1 ???? Heard available in July 2010....

  • This is the best, android phone of it's kind. Now with that 2.1 upgrade I really love it! It has 480p video recording, RAM management is improved, I get like 50 to 60Mb free of RAM. More 3d game compatible, yeps I've said it, sandstorm working flawessly.

  • Eclair 2.1 is out. ­

  • ahhh just download an bluetooth file transfer app from the market, don't be a noob

  • Can we upgrade it to V2.0(eclair)?

  • I have recently purcshed a Acer liquid smart phone and tried sending media files from another bluetooth compatible phone but it doesn't seems to be working at all, pls be kindly advice on this regards ASAP. [email protected]

  • I have the Acer Liquit. Nice try of Acer. great phone however design is not so good. Switching of means changing ringer volume. Grabbing while on means volume change and camera on. Switching on/off not so handy. Ending a phone call can only be done on the touch screen which is off by that time. Using bluetooth earphone keeps phone on. You start dialing 911 from yot pocket. Get a phone with hardware buttons like an htc or the latest Acer.

  • acer liquid or htc legend?

  • Liquid is the best Android phone.Buy it.

  • Hello, Nice phone, very versatile. But it does not come without some problems: very low battery life: 1 day the most. And... DO NOT break the LCD display. It will set you back almost the cost of the phone new (270€ only for the screen). If someone found a cheaper one please advise. Best of luck.

  • how can i know which one is original set n non original..?

  • can upgrade to 2.1 sure hv chinese ~

  • Can Upgrade liquid 1.6 android to 2.1 eclair, if it can whats the point Acer to realese Liquid e with 2.1 eclair???

  • I've had the phone for about a day now. I fully charged it up before i used it, and most of the time when i have it turned on it says i need to connect the battery cable because the display settings is using 48% of it, or the Android system is using 50+%. So i plug in the cable, leave it for a couple of hours and it still says the same thing. If anyone can help me out or if anyone else is having the same problem i would really like to know.

  • does it support the chinese?

  • Good value for high specs phone. Been running the 2.1 leaked ROM for a couple of weeks now on my A1 and it's very stable. A few minor issues, but that can exist even in official released ROMs. Just hope to get Froyo 2.2 soon now.

  • does it supports multitouch using dolphin browser on android 1.6

  • Imho Liquid is a very good phone relating his price, I have it from December and I'm quite satisfied, acer hasn't a good interface like sense and it hasn't the construction quality of iPhone but with this device you can have a proper android experience, with a big display and a good CPU, waiting for 2.1 !

  • I am using Acer Liquid past one month. This phone is pretty cool. Its screen resolution, speed, 3G speed and accessability is really excellent. I have used Nokia N97, samsung Omnia HD and I phone also. this responsiveness to scre,

  • I've had mine for about 3 weeks now, running latest official 1.6 ROM (hopefully official 2.1 Eclair upgrade soon). A few thoughts: 256 MB ram is not an issue since I don't run too many memory hogging apps at the same time. Android is smart about swapping out physical RAM anyway when things get tight, it's only an issue probably when playing games or using apps that require the whole 256 or more chunk of memory. The top LED notifications is actually not as practical as LED lights on the screen face. Imagine setting the phone face up on the table in front of you, you have to place the phone 'up-side-down' orientation to see the top bar LEDs, then when you pick it up to use, you have to rotate it in your hand. Feels about the same as when I used a MyTouch 3G (HTC Magic) a few months ago. I thought I wouldn't like the white glossy plastic, but after a while it's grown on me. It has a 'futuristic' feel. My battery cover is a bit looser, and creaks after a few "hard prying" openings & closings. So just be gentle, not a good phone if you plan to swap SIM cards often. The side buttons takes a bit getting used to since they're flush and in awkward positions. But I'm used to them now. Also lack of a cursor trackball/button makes placing exact cursor in edit mode a bit harder. My battery use (no EDGE/3G data plan, GPS & Bluetooth off, only wi-fi use occasionally). Lasts about 4 days (turned off when I sleep too). Even after all these minor issues, it's still worth getting because you get so much for the relatively cheap price compared to anything on the market and in the immediate future.

  • Using for last 1 month. Initially was disappointed with absence of flash. But now i wonder why they didn't name it marvel

  • Never disappoint me.... I bought the phone for a month. Test and compare with iphone : 1) Youtube video quality Better(Android can watch in high quality which iphone and others not at this moment) 2) surfing speed comparable. 3) Application...so far happy with free application from many website. 4) Only lag, same as iphone, cannot bluetooth to device. [ SE X10 Android v1.6 can support BT to device ]

  • Hello to all of you. I am using Acer Liquid past one month. This phone is pretty cool. Its screen resolution, speed, 3G speed and accessability is really excellent. I have used Nokia N97, samsung Omnia HD and I phone also. this responsiveness to screen touch with acer liquid is far excellent. Although the battery doesnt last much just one day, but you dont expect much from such a feature rich phone. You have lots of application available to customize your phone. it becomes mini computer. Only thing which i though it would make it king is secondary camera for video call. however very few androids have secondary camera... so it makes all even. May be some companies comes with wireless camera which can be used with these androids phone to make video call... that would be awsome. I am really looking forward for such wireless camera.. :)

  • I read a lot about liquid before I lay my hand on the real thing. A week ago I finally got one. In Singapore Liquid e is not available yet. Btw I got the very last set that day. Looks like it's a HOT selling phone. I actually would like the white model for a change, all my past phones are dark coloured mostly. However, its the last set I had no choice. However, I have not regret a single bit. - The phone feel solid, even its plastic all over. - Finishing is gorgeous, just place beside an iphone you will know what i mean. - The best of all is the screen. Bright, clear, sharp & high contrast, even the smallest font/text is legible. - If you play the right format, video playback is superb, because of the excellence screen. Whatever inside "donut" is the same. Just that, snapdragon + 480X800pixels, is almost Nexus 1 hardware in a Acer shell, eliminate worry that liquid would obsolete in a year's time. Now I wish upgrade to Eclair is available soon.

  • very good liquid acer, is to fast thank I by

  • Its and excellent gadget i ever came across..... using from one week i feel im addicted.

  • I just ordered this phone off ebay after a lot of research. There is rumor that Acer will release an official 2.1 update in April. Search for 'acer liquid rom' and you'll see some people who have modified versions of 2.1 Eclair running on the Liquid A1 already. Eclair is like the windows 7 of Android, doesn't mean most apps will move to it soon, if anything most will still support Android 1.5 & 1.6 for some time. It is one of the best spec'd android phones for the relatively low price.

  • hey, could anyone comment over the camera of the phone?? Does it have an option of macro?

  • very bad...

  • I doubt that. There must be a reason for them to release Liquide (Eclair)

  • Hey can you or someone tell me is this Acer Liquid will get android 2.0. I am wondering because i am thinking in buying one, but if there is no upgrade it hard to choose it.

  • Dahm, just got this phone from Carphone Warehouse. Possibly the best touch screen phone around, even though it is my first touch screen but for business and pleasure around diamond! got this phone for £25pm for 24 months how cool is that ehhh?

  • Dahm, just got this phone from Carphone Warehouse. Possibly the best touch screen phone around, even though it is my first touch screen but for business and pleasure around diamond! got this phone for £25pm for 24 months how cool is that ehhh?

  • It says it comes with Youtube app but I don't have it.. and it doesn't exist on android market also.. Does it have RTSP streaming support..

  • Any news on 2.1 update? I want to buy this for my gf but only if Acer will release 2.1 soon enough.

  • You should be able to pry the battery lid from the top, above the camera. Just use your fingers to pry it open.

  • use your hands to open it :)

  • Hello can someone tell me how to open this Acer Liquid, I bought 2 hours ago but I am unenable to enjoy it because I can open the battery component. Help I am very excited to use it it is so beautiful

  • Hello From me. I have the acer liquid about 6 days. I like it very much. all my friends ask me about it.the screen is very sharp with a lot of brightnes. I have the stock 1.6 android on it. you have a lot of customization that you can make. i have everything i need in three screens. if you have an internet connection this phone makes everything really fast. as of the battery it lasts 1+ days and i play a lot these days!!!

  • Does anybody know if it has Digital compass ???

  • Sorry you have face a problem actually i am from Mumbai distributor point if you required then let me know i will arrange for you

  • Dear Guys ACER should stop doing business in India poor service product is launched and they are not able to supply in Bangalore model liquid, i think ACER itself should go out from India because no models are attracting & initial some qty they sell because of new launch and after that they keep quiet and wait for next model to launch, so my sincere wish to my customer is stop buying ACER & stop viewing Acer review in GSMARENA till date all models Average viewing customer is not even 5% so let's create history by making 0% viewing for all models and Acer will make it in Guniess Books of Records which is atleast great Acheivement for them

  • I have the Liquid and I love it. Although you should know that on the Asian version the battery lasts MUCH longer and it comes with 5 desktops instead of 3 compared to the EU/USA version. I do wish that it came with Eclair instead of Donut though. Now Acer announces Liquid E with Eclair which is basically the Liquid with Eclair, no other upgrades so it wants to makes us buy the new phone. I'm pretty sure all those who were hoping for a software upgrade on the Liquid and everyone who has a liquid is pretty much pisses at Acer right now.

  • Why couldn't the Liquid not handle more apps? Even if the processor reached its maximum, it could be opened to reach full 1 Ghz, right? Information available today is that Android 2.x upgrade is possible to come in March.

  • And where did u get that? =)

  • no friends this phone cannot be upgraded to 2.1 coz the company are not willing to provide as the hardware is not up to mark. and it cannot handle more apps.

  • all my computers are acer, and i'd probably go with them for a phone, but compared to this motorola rules.

  • It's being upgraded in march they say, unofficially of course. I'm hoping for an upgrade asap, want to buy this phone =D

  • Dear gsmarena, please correct spec: camera DOESN'T have flash!

  • can this phone be upgraded to android vs 2.0 or 2.1???????

  • A review. REVIEW. GSMARENA a review would be awesome pretty please with cherries on top. Acer are already top pc and laptop manufacturers, would be great to see a review on ths phone. PLEASE. Gsmarena reviews are precise and detailed. The only phone that stands out to me is Motorola Droid. And already ordered but ths phone looks great too.

  • Can we leave the 20th century already? Get an HD radio so you don't have to have a FM radio

  • I finally bought the Acer Liquid. It is a wonderful phone. Beautiful screen. On/off switch on the opposite side of the volume buttons, so switching the device off means in most cases changing the ringer volume as well. Shape of the phone make it hard to press the camera button. Battery live is a drama. Less than 24 hours even without making calls. However this does not mean that it is a bad phone, software is great and browsing the internet is super. It is fast compared to the htc g1. On screen keyboard works fine. And fortunately they did not change the Android interface.

  • first class phone and yet there's even no radio. stupid!!

  • =))))))) at least you tryed :)))))))))))))))))))))))))

  • When can we expect a review from GSMArena about this phone? I'm very interested in Liquid, but would like to know a bit more about the device, i.e. battery life and texting =) Thanks.

  • you need a doctor man!

  • its not like fairy liquid, it doesnt make my hands nice and soft. Im dissapointed i threw it in with the plates and nothing happened. although the phone was plugged in at the time and all my lights went off! there were not even any bubbles....

  • Acer liquid is a good phone. It's fast and offers good talk quality. Battery is ok for a full day. It's value for money. 8.5 out of 10.

  • Get the Nexus one way better choice! Better version of OS, faster 1ghz cpu, more ram, thinner slicker fast.. 2 words The best!.... I personally use it.. I have played with all the android phones from g1, mytouch, droid, galaxy, hero.. Nexus one is the best Android phone so far!

  • I am now the proud owner of this phone. I love it. The startup is quick, and you are then led to the main screen. It is the basic Android screen, with the only difference being the acer settings icon. The phone is Very fast and the applications run instantly. The battery life is short, but not quite as bad as the reviews I have read. The battery seems to be ok for 24 hours of normal phone usage, with low internet usage. The internet seems to work fine on 3G, but in the UK this can be expensive. Come on operators, give us more allowance so we can browse the web on the move without breaking the bank. Back to the phone. When you use the internet on WiFi, the phone really comes to life. I can browse the web on this faster than on my Eeepc. Not suprising really as the processor in the Liquid is FASTER. That coupled with the fact that you don't have windows dragging it down and you have a replacement for your netbook. The onscreen keyboard is a little fiddly, and takes some getting used to. It tends to be a little easier in landscape mode. The switch between Portrait and landscape is not instant, but darn close. The camera is 5MP, and Acer have spent out on some decent optics. It takes great photos. The problem is there is no flash. the casing of the phone feels a bit cheap and plasticy, but looks very nice. It is a bit thicker than other phones on the market, but I like that. Feels more substantial. I love this phone. I cannot compare it to others as I have no experiance of using them, but I would think you would have to go a fair way to beat this.

  • plz chk the samsnug ph

  • What a beauty, it is eye catching. But is it really draining the battery in a day? I currently use the Android G1 and I m looking for another Android. Recommendations please....

  • Love this device, great screen , one of the best and powerful sound through headphones (better than iphone). lacks FM radio, flash light and physical directional buttons/ball (although i don't miss them a lot), worth buying with such price tag.

  • main tip to update to android 2.01 or 2.1 and buy much better battery i 'm sure there is one with much better power then main battery

  • Whats the point of stuffing up a device with all that high-tech jewelry inside when the extremely limited battery life permits you to enjoy it fully!?!? Especially when the device is a "phone" oriented gadget! I mean at least Acer does not pump up the price like nokia or samsung or se but still there is a lot to be done in the powering the devices with energy department! Could someone enlighten me what is the battery life optimization that acer are claiming they did on the liquid?? I mean with the short battery life it is now if there wasnt a optimization it would'v lasted like half a day ??!

  • vga yes. 30 fps no (22 average).

  • THe Acer Liquid video-recording resolution it's incorrect, this Android device records videos in VGA/30fps. Please GSMArena correct this error.

  • bought last friday love UI feels a bit plasticky but light and easy to use but BATTERY DOES NOT LAST A DAY and thats making 5 phone calls lasting approx 5-6 mins each and browsing for a total of 15 mins and thirteen texts. From full charge at 09:00 to switching itself off by 23:20 just over 14 hours and its not like i did a lot. It sort of reminds me of my old N95 but worse.

  • From its user manual the SAR is: (CE) Head 0.725 (W/Kg 10g) Body 1.14 (W/Kg 10g)

  • Can someone please comment on the battery life of this fantastic looking handset as it has captured my heart and I really want to buy it! Will it survive a full day of heavy use???

  • Acer A1 Liquid VideoReview

  • I checked that website again and they change the it now it shows 900/1900/2100 WCDMA,HSPA so their statment is a lie is no 850 band for HSPA

  • Have been told the the Liquid's SAR value is pretty high - 1.52 W/kg. Can anyone confirm this?

  • Because you're roaming data on a different carrier. Its a tradeoff between always updated free (in your own country) map application and a paid one where you usually have to pay for new maps

  • GPS from Tom-tom , Ndrive, etc...its Real GPS . its better then google

  • Indeed google maps is excellent but why should we be charged since other gps apps are free?I used nokia maps last month for an hour here in Greece and i was really scared when i saw my bill!

  • -You can play pretty much all movies on Android. -Google Maps Nav is free and is better than pretty much any other GPS software because of its Google search integration

  • When's this A1 arriving in S'pore?

  • Finally this beauty is out but for another time android isn't ready.No skype,no dvix-xvid,not many gsp apps available(no garmin?)and not apps for languages :-(

  • for exemple Tatoo with Android or General Mobile DSTL 1 have an FM radio, and new HTC�s concepts - Legend and Bravo - super.

  • for exemple Tatoo with Android or General Mobile DSTL 1 have an FM radio, and new HTC�s concepts - Legend and Bravo - super.

  • damn only 475 $ over plemix !

  • I think the phone has been released. You can check expansys.

  • The main camera records in VGA not QVGA as it said in this page at 22 fps (average). Francisco

  • No flash (you can see the pics of the phone) No FM (I don't know any android phone with it) Francisco

  • Well i ownd 5 laptops over the past years and didnt have to deal with acer customer care once ;) just let the retailer deal with it ;)

  • The REASON why people don't put AM radio on phones is because it requires a SPECIFIC Antenna coil to receive AM. Which means it adds alot of bulk to the phone.

  • is there any cellphone out there that has a am radio station? its always fm station are only available in all brands. i like to have a am radio station. i like to hear more on news. guys all brands of cellphone pls invent this, to be unique to others. this is one thing to add your marketing strategies

  • Can anyone confirm if it has FM radio or not? Various sites say yes and a hand full of sites say no. Where do we stand about this? The same happens with flash led for de 5Mp camera. I already questioned Expansys in Portugal and they only no whats in ther site. Cumps

  • Clove.co.uk confirmed to me via email (and it is posted on their website) that the Acer A1 liquid will support 3G frequencies of 850/1900/2100 The 850 is very important for people on some carriers (eg Telstra NextG in Australia)

  • If those specs are correct I foresee the battery life being horrible!

  • sir is it possible to have skype device ? regards

  • this can be pre-ordered by Expansys (http://www.expansys.be/d.aspx?i=188154) for �355

  • my experience with acer services is nitemare. hopefully for this new handphone division, they set up a different customer service centre for it. if same with thier pc/notebook cs centre, then pray hard your phone dont hv problem....as for this moment, i dont see a reason to take the risk. so i shall leave this new player a bay. let see how they are doing for the next 2-3 yrs....presently, my choice will still HTC or nokia.

  • yes acer service is very bad!!! aj..india

  • where can i get this phone in south africa....

  • Any news for this beauty?

  • Thank you smilefish.I just can't wait to take this phone but my only problem is the support.I live in Greece and the local support for Acer products (notebooks and desktops) is really bad.

  • in Europe is announced in Spain for the end of November (28th, if i'm not wrong). For the rest, don't know any news this time :)

  • Hi does anyone know when it will be available?Will it support dvix or not?

  • A few things about this phone; the most important is the fact that it does NOT have flash (unfortunately). Even more unfortunate is the lack of a secondary front camera (for video calls) and the fact that it's main back camera records QVGA (as far as we know). However, the SnapDragon running at 768 MHz isn't necessarily a bad thing. The fact that Acer didn't over-customize this phone's OS is reason enough to underclock the obviously capable processor. Not only does that extend battery life, but at the time of its release, this phone will STILL be one of the fastest phones available. And although it will be running Android 1.6 at its release, Acer has confirmed that it will be upgradeable to 2.0 next year. The most exciting thing about this phone (for me) is the fact that it will be the first Android phone capable of running on AT&T's 3G network. Take that, iCan't!

  • I think the cpu is under-clocked because the android OS won't need 1000Mhz to run smoothly and hence the excess in speed would be wasting of battery life..

  • make it a dual sim please

  • this is not a phone it is a monkey holding a spoon!!!

  • The CPU is probably under clocked to save battery life.

  • The CPU must probably be under clocked to save battery life. (Like on original iPhone)

  • Acer probably under clocked the CPU to save battery, like with the original iPhone.

  • As a proud owner of HTC hero, I can see that there are still many problem inherit from Android handsets. 512 ROM is not enough once the phone is loaded with apps. 256 RAM without any virtual memory mean the phone will be slow down once its start multi-tasking. Only 5 hrs talk time because of the same old 1350 mAh battery. I thought Acer would've at least learn something from Hero flaw.

  • Actually i'v seen that Acer Liquid has 1Ghz processor too so at the moment i'm not pretty sure if this phone has 1Ghz Snapdragon processor, 768 MHz Snapdragon processor or also i've readen is that it has and ARM processor instead of Snapdragon.

  • Why only qvga video recording- That is very old school.

  • 5MP cam with LED flash... are you guys sure about LED flash, coz i have seen a video on youtube and i didn't find any flash.

  • GSMArena needs to update the specs for this phone... It has a 1 GHz process not a 768 MHz.

  • best phone.

  • It'll work with AT&T 3G either way, but the reliability of the 3G signal will be quite different depending on the status of that 850MHz band. I'm guessing it is a 900/1900/2100 phone, to be honest... As that is what all of the other Acer phone are listed as. I get 3G fine in *most* areas on my i8910 here on AT&T. Most areas, but not all, and one of those 3G deadspots seems to be my apartment (where my Nokia E71 and 5800 got perfect 3G signal). So, it's a bit of a toss up. When I'm at home I can use WiFi easily, and when I'm out I usually get 3G, but it isn't a definite thing. I too would love to see any Android phone drop with 850/1900/2100 compatibility.

  • so this DOESN'T have the 1GHz Snapdragon?

  • so this DOESN'T have the 1GHz Snapdragon?

  • The 3G compatibility is a bit conflicting here and around the web. I would really love to see this thing running on 850/1900/2100 (North American World Spec), but other sites such as Phone Arena are saying it is Euro World Spec of 900/1900/2100. The US needs an Android phone we can use on AT&T, and I'm sure some of our southern and northern brothers would love to get on some 3G Android action as well. Make it happen, Acer.

  • Has the actual HSDPA frequencies been announced, or is the listing here and elsewhere pure speculation? I've seen 850/1900/2100 here and 900/1900/2100 on other sites...which one it is makes all the difference as to whether it'll work on ATT or not. Has anyone seen any evidence either way?

  • 16M cloros are for next generation maybe from exeprience manufacturer like samsung or nokia or motorola

  • Video Yes, QVGA Is it real? There is the end of year 2009...

  • 256k and 16M colors are comparable..65K is a failure.. i hope its camera is a good shooter

  • yes, very very nice phone, it has 256k colors on screen...keep it up..better if acer will make 16million colors screen for the best color.

  • will this reach in asia,philppines,and how much

  • No radio ...!!! Brilliant...!!!

  • hmm, it does look like the X6, but that's with every fulltouch phone.it also has some similarities with the omnia...

  • Does anyone know if it supports Dvix/Xvid?

  • nice phone but y a 768mhz processor wen snapdragon can operate at 1.3ghz and soon 1.5ghz dual core if im not mistaken.

  • OMF! I want. I need.

  • Not bad... but it looks an awful lot like the Nokia X6... with android and better specs!

  • 256k colors? Sure that's an improvement for Android, but why not 16M?

  • battery z not good...cuz it z made by LITHIN IRON......

  • Who uses secondary camera anyway? and android phones expencif? lol! compare what they can do against any other phone and android wins

  • Great mobile! I don't think it's the same with Nokia X6.I believe it will have a good price not like nokia that offers mini N97 600�.Only acer,samsung and htc can offer good mobiles.Nokia and se are bad and expensive.These two create only a good phone each year(xperia2 and n97) but the price is really low.Nokia should know that delaying mobiles like E72 will probably will loose customers.Liquid is for sure my next phone.

  • whatis acer doing ? this phone is a copy of nokia x6 !!! acer has no designer in his company ????! lol

  • you could hardly tell the difference between 256k and 16m colors...

  • does this phone has bluetooth limitation??

  • the phone looks great and come on the processor is to damn nice

  • The phone looks great and the processor is awesom

  • It is 256k colours?? That's stupid....

  • yeah! its excellent android phone.

  • second , mystry phone

  • Another Phone based on Android! I don't know why the Android phones have no secondary camera in addition that they are expensive
