Acer Liquid mt - User Reviews

  • Hi, There service centre number is 020 325 44448 for Pune. Acers India Toll Free number is 1800 103 2237. Try contacting them. They fixed my screen last year in warranty period. Hope this helps.

  • i can tell you how to custom rom this device without installing a new rom. [email protected]

  • i got the acer s120 liquid mt last2 yrs d display ws broken some one pls help me how can i get it from? there is no sourc of it

  • I got this phone a few days ago and I hate it cant do anything on it cant even update stuff battery is crap never will I get a s120 again CRAP PHONE.

  • Can anyone help me??? How to custom Rom this gadget.. Always in low storage mood..

  • Hello, I bought my acer liquid metal 2 years ago. Actually, there are only a few games which it does not support. (Mostly from GLU developers) Even after 2 yrs, it supports most of the apps in the Play Store. Recently I have had some trouble with the Capacitive buttons on my phone. Can someone tell me where I can get my phone repaired? I cant find a acer service center for phones. They deal only with Laptops and tablets now. Can someone point me in the right direction. I live in Pune. Thanks

  • This phone is so stupid it won't let me update facebook and other apps, the app store only gives me a few select games that fit my phone and that all suck. The phone comes with like 40 pre loaded apps that can't be deleted so that takes up all you're space. You can only get one game and if you want a different game you have to get rid of the game you have to get the new game. So I'm never getting this phone again.

  • TO Clear your memory, go to Settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> All. Here go to any application. Say "Browser". Click on that and then click on "Clear Data". Similarly you can go in other Apps and delete data which you no longer use. This will free up lot of your phone space. Also in this option it will allow you to move your App to Memory Card. Once it is moved to memory card lot of your space is cleared on phone memory. Hope this helps.

  • Plz can u help me,am using acer liquid metal phone my problem is dat always get dis feedback memory full when ever some send me message.i delete all my txt but stil.

  • Acer mobile iss awe'Some Realy

  • Hi, i have this phone, i bought it for 100 eur. nice phone, good camera, good sound in headphones, good speed, but the display isn-t good at all.if it is dirty it won-t work, if it is wet, it won-t work and push it self just by touching your face, even if the phone is close to you and the screen is shut down. the biggest problem is the fact that the phone is shutting down by it self, it restarts, but the worst is that this happens even during a call. the battery is good, 4 days with wi-fi and stuff.i don-t suggest to buy this phone.

  • nice phone .........i like this phone.feature4s r osam.

  • where repair disply

  • software

  • hellow man u got all display in kazmi trading company

  • my display is damage so any one tell me where i got display

  • which ROM do you use sir?

  • hello my friend why this phone cant up to date android 2.3 ginger bread?thanks. i am irani

  • Thanks Raj!! You were correct, I couldn't find the back panel. Though I love this phone except its camera. Yeah due to no market share we cannot expect service and spare parts in India. Thats sad. Shail

  • Yes it has FM radio

  • this phone have fm radio!

  • Hi Shail, I believe there is no way to get any spare for Liquid metal. You will not get any spare in India. Acer mobiles does not have any market share in India, it is just a use and throw thing. Think well, Acer could not provide service for their own product within 18 months after a product launch. So it is waste of time to search for some other external spare suppliers. From this we could see that how much Acer is good enough. In my life Acer is the only worst company I have ever seen in terms of after sales service. Learnt a lesson after wasting hard earned money. I my life I will never buy an Acer product.

  • Hi Raj, If you have done some research on the spare parts, Could you please tell me where to look for? I have lost the back panel but Acer service center is not able to provide(Though they were good in resolving other issues due to physical damage). I am based out of bangalore. Thanks, Shail

  • Acer were fine for me, but I'm based in Australia, my phone service provider Telstra were less willing to replace my phone though :/

  • WTF you talking about........I have it two years and its wonderful......I have and samsung galaxy 2....galaxy is not bether..... acer is the king.......

  • The box it came in is more useful and worth the money than the handset it self! A waste of time and money.

  • Take atmost care before going for Acer products they are way behind in providing service. After buying an Acer product you are on your own risk. The company is not very keen in even supplying spares. My experience with Acer S120 was really really bad in terms of service. Atlast learnt a lesson after a big hole in my pocket from an Acer product. I would suggest, look at all the options before going for Acer products. They are only interested in selling a product and not in providing some kind of service after sale. Here in India it is very much worst indeed. From my experience I found that they do not know even basic business ethics but at some cost.

  • I bought this mobile 18 months back. It was simply great after OS upgrade. All of a sudden on one day the phone devoleped a problem in its display, then I took it to nearest Acer service center. After a week I got a call from them and I was really shocked to hear the response from them. They asked me thow the phone in trash since they have stopped the support for Acer phones. Its just only six months after my Warranty period. so just think of Acer's responsibility in providing after sales service. Think well before going for Acer products because there are so many better options available. My personal advice is never ever go for Acer product.

  • i really liked the model its fantstic i am egar to by this phone ........

  • yes dude why not

  • ce tare e i-am pus android 10.1 si merge bine si am procesor de 5 GHz i7

  • My longest is about the same with an app that turns off my bluetooth, wi-fi, gps etc. when I don't need them. Takes the hassle out of doing it myself. I absolutely love this phone.

  • My battery lasts 8 days with normal use as a phone, Without ever turning it offensive. Maximum the battery has lasted was 11 days. With internet and bluetooth continuously on lasts a day oor two

  • I am not able to listen the voice properly from caller so any body plz plz tell me how to solve this problem???

  • yes it does, i have used it before and it worked magic, the only prob is that u have to turn the fone around from time to tym so that person can see your face through the back camera. you can hear and talk and both can hear each other's voice, this phone works wonders just like a proper laptop!

  • i have it but can some one tell me that my display is broken how to replace it

  • Try putting earphone in 3.5mm jack. If it works and if u cud listen than there is no problem. Remove it and try again. Then it shud work.

  • Does this device support skype?

  • Does this device support skype??

  • I hope this phone keep updating the official OS they given :( Sadly it will never gonna update the OS. Last thing from Acer I'll buy, No more Acer.

  • I am not able to listen the voice from caller. but turn on the loud speaker, it manage to hear it. anybody has solution?

  • I am not able to listen the voice from caller. but turn on the loud speaker, it manage to hear it. anybody has solution?

  • I bought this phone 11 months ago and it has had all different problems. First was the memory because the phone has 125mb when you first get it. second problem was the battery because it was running out in 10 hours sleep mode. i was charging the phone properly.last problem is not receiving calls or texts when it had full bars. Not happy with the phone and it cant even do basic tasks well.

  • All those morons and idiots who say that this mobile is not good go to hell........I have compared it with Nokia's and Samsung's phones which is about the same rate....... but they don't stand a chance with this phone.........have been using this phone for almost a year and it is perfect.........not even single problem.........

  • No! Buy Mine!

  • It has one of the best quality hardware out there,the cpu which multiple times is being referred to as ''slow'' is the same in g2/desire z,which means is MORE than fast enough by today standards. 3.6'' display ALSO several times referred to as ''small'' while its 0.1'' bigger than iphone 4(no one complained about that being small),and 0.1'' smaller than desire.

  • friends who need better sound quality in headphones then install xmedia player from market its awesome which can make a very good sound quality of songs also use air tight headphones with bass effect.

  • this mobile is really garbage , in just 6 months the led , speaker and gps broke down . now the led is broken by its own .i strongly recommended not to buy this mobile .

  • Buy mine!

  • Where can i buy this please help!!

  • Awesomely crap phone. Useless internal memory. Screen is aweful when there is only slight moisture on phone. camera takes very avergae photos. Acer should stick to making laptops, with which they aren't even good at..

  • anyone find that this fone gets super hot when using it for a short anount of time?

  • i does have radio but it is fm only (i used to have one)

  • So I guess that's what makes the phone epic right??

  • Change some settings. like change screen out time, which ideally should be 30 secs. Initially battery will drain out because we do not realise but we use phone a lot for R&D. But 10 hrs is short time. Mine works for almost 1.5 to 2 days after using for calls / msgs / chat and browsing.

  • This phone is epic! I get TRUELY unlimited data from ATT for only $10 a month! :)

  • This phone is epic! I get TRUELY unlimited data from ATT for only $10 a month! :)

  • i bought it 4days back...battery is getting drained very quickly...its hardly lasting for 10hrs..is it problem with my piece?

  • I bought this phone a week ago. I think this was a last piece available in Pune market. As I checked in lot of stores but they are out of stock as they say production is stopped for this phone. I had checked reviews of this phone on GSM ARENA and after good scrutiny bought this phone. First hand experience. 1. This Phone is very neatly designed. It fits your palm properly. You can operate it with one hand without worrying about phone falling of your hand. I tried Samsung S2 which my friends have, but dont know why but i was not comfortable with such a big screen. 2. Battery Life is good. Around 2 days with normal browsing, calls, messages. 3. Processor is good and quick. Though it is 800 MHZ one should not forget it is 2nd generation processor which is fast (Not lightening fast Though). 4. Android 2.2 Froyo is good. I tried updating it with 2.3 Gingerberd but could not do it. Dont know why? 5. Display - With 16 Million colours and 259 ppi, display of the phone is very clear. Watched few movies and experience was amazing. 6. What you get in box - One Cell Phone, One Battery, One 2 GB Micro SD Card, One SD Card Adapter, One wire which can be used for charging and connecting to PC, One neat/decent Mobile cover, One ear phone set, phone manuals, warranty card. 7. Price for this phone is Rs.11,500/- in Pune. 8. Display on the top of the phone is very useful. In this one week i have realised that i do not have to take out the phone from its cover to check whether there is a miss call or unread message. This phone have display to show whether you have a miss call or unread message. Very handy i would say. 9. Phone is heavy though. With all the Metal in it this phone becomes heavy. But with metal all around you get the rich look, unlike some samsung/nokia phone which have plastic covers. 10. Camera quality is OK. Do not expect much from it. 11. Browsing speed is ok. 12. Earphone quality is OK. Not that good. Buy a nice earphone if you are a music lover. 13. Internal Memory should be more. 512 MB though mentioned, actual memory to use is quite less. :-( Overall for 11.5K this is a very nice phone with amazing clarity and the required features.

Led notifications..... screen.... touch is very good and fast.... performance is very good for a 800Mhz processor... cons's: Camera- It doesn't look like a 5mp... Internal memory is too low....

  • how do you root acer liquid metal?

  • Flash a custom ROM...

  • Either downgrade or get a custom ROM

  • I've had this phone since October 7 last year and it's pretty awesome have had it rooted since December and it runs like a dream on T&L Metal with Chainfire3D installed.

  • first root your phone, then partation your memory card and install link2sd. all your applications then can be moved to sd card. you can google how to root and partation memory card. i think this might help you!!!

  • Had this phone for a month now and its AWESOME!! I rooted it and although it didnt free up a whole lot of space, it helped a bit nonetheless. Worked fine after root, no delay whatsoever. Good price for this nifty phone!

  • no possibility. i have that acer with Android 2.3.6 and we can only download a launcher of our choice. i do it continuosly when im bored of seeing the same homescreen, but at the end i find always the acer UI most usefull. i hope that helped you :)

  • Acer Froyo, there are two types of interfaces i.e., acer and android, as on when required i will change my interfaces, now my question is, my smart phones is upgraded to 2.3.6 now there is no such option is available in phone, by default it is showing acer interface now i want to change it as android interface, can any one suggest me.

  • is it a good one ?

  • go on acer device support's page and look for acer liquid mt. You will find the latest OS version that is 2.3.6. Download it!

  • yeah. you can. just go to Acer official website and go to support page, and find your product (Liquid metal)..and download the firmware..i hope this will help:)

  • yes of course.me for example, i have it upgraded to android 2.3.5 Try: settings>about phone>system update. there should it say you that a newer version of your firmware is available. if not, thats thing of your country probably , and you can only wait for the notification appearing.good luck :)

  • Yesterday i bought acer liquid mt mobile phone and the software version is 2.2(Froyo), can it be upgradable to 2.3.5 Gingerbread?

  • all android phones (top android phones like galaxy S or similar not) have really poor internal memory. i have this acer and thats the only thing i hate of it, but that problem have all android phones. even samsung nexus S , that it saids it has 16 GB internal storage it has "only" 1 (1 GB is quite an amount of space for apps).i dont know why all android manufacturers make their phones with such poor memory, and why android apps, most of them, dont let install them into the SD card,or only can move there part of it.thats mistake of the manufacturers of course, but of the android software and its app-developers too.if they find the way to install apps directly on the SD card, no more problems with the internal storage.With symbian for example all apps can be installed directly on the SD card...and android is suposed to be better than symbian ,so... (i had a symbian before the acer)

  • TkYr - No, don't work in tech support or for Acer (thanks for the career advice), just trying to help you out. Is your card SD or SDHC as i have not seen any specs list it is SDHC compatable although i have seen SD up to 32GB on some reviews. I only used the 2GB SD card that came with the phone and had no problems. Hope you find the solution to your problem as the phone is good to use.

  • Windy, i can clearly see you work for a tech support over the phone. Are you able to see why? Clearly I am able to insert a memory card into the hunk of crap. You have said your self not all apps can be moved to the sd card. I have exhasuted all avenues and come to the conclusion this phone is a waste of money. If you work for Acer, good on you, you can now pass this onto them. Thanks.

  • Check card is in correctly first of course, Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > "Select App" (not all apps move to SD card)> Move to SD card. Turn off phone, turn on phone and memory should come flooding back.

  • Crap phone, should of bought another for the same amount i paid. it can't move apps to the memory card. i have an 16gb card in the phone, i download 4 apps and i am out of memory. the phone keeps checking for updates to the OS. I am well sure telstra will not waste their time with updates on this. on all 3rd party apps, it will hang and then reset the app. makes the need to re-open the app again. On paper the phone had better specs than the HTC wildfire S.. the HTC shits all over this. I should of bought it instead.

  • Great phone. Great value for money.

  • Not sure on glass, i've had mine since Jan 2011 and not a mark on it but i keep it in the slip case that comes in the box. Not a mark through normal use but if you have it loose in your pocket with keys etc???

  • no........

  • Thank u, so much. Please tell 1 more thing, is the screen protected by gorrila glass or does it get scratched easily? In a review, i have seen that it gets scratched easily, but in the specifications it shows that it has gorrila glass.

  • It originally came with Android 2.2, but there has since been official updates to 2.3. The latest version is 2.3.6. You can check your Android version by going into; Settings>About Phone. If there is no update option in that menu, then you can get the latest version from the acer websites (just do a Google search for "acer liquid metal 4.000.13" (without the quotes)).

  • Not possible

  • Has anyone been able or knows how to activate 'voice dial' my partner can't seem to get the voice dial to work. HELP cheers

  • Can any1 plzz say tht weather it has android 2.2 or 2.3 os????? Can we upgrade the os version???

  • It is really a good phone, near the apple iPhone 4 with one quarter its price

  • this one good quality handset but some app are so fare ded.

  • Originally 2.2 but update available through Acer website to 2.3 (2.3.6 in UK). Guess later batches might have 2.3 already in but really not sure? Settings > About phone > Android version to find which version you have.

  • I have bought this phone, but how to check the android version in the phone?

  • it has android v2.2 or v 2.3?? Can we update the os version?? Please rep fast.

  • Regarding the sound quality, I use my Ipod Nano headphones on it and it sounds better than the ipod.

  • To Anonyrat, complaining about bad sound? why not buy the best headphones and do away with cheap ones. Then you'll get the sound you want.

  • It first came out with 2.2, but yes, it does indeed have a radio.

  • The phone is perfekt. It's fast and beautiful. I'm happy to have it!

  • Yes you can choose 2G, 3G or automatic.

  • I suggest you change the specs, it has radio and Android 2.3.6 and not 2.2

  • edge-gprs means 2g internet.

  • Negs: Bad camera, poor sound quality headset or internal speakers, too shiny, terrible Dolby surround. very less storage space, not optimised android 2.3. No Videocall camera. Pozs: Good battery life, fast mobile internet, good wifi

  • 2 g is basic and is behind 3g so it will work on 2g but faster on 3g

  • He's asking the question. I think he knows that 2G is slower than 3G...... Phone looks real nice. Love the design.

  • you can use 2g but it's really slow, anyway it works

  • i want to buy this phone howz it?????? is it worthy...

  • yes, u can use 2G just like 3G, it is slower and you can't watch you tube videos

  • Can we use 2G for downloading or internet browsing?? Or only 3G network has to be used? I wana buy this mobile but in my city there is no 3G network. So m asking wether 2G is useable for using the internet or not.

  • Can we use 2G for internet browsing or downloading?? Or only 3G network has to be used?? Please rep.

  • This spec is wrong! The Liquid mt does have radio, and a very good one too. Works well in a crowded spectrum situation.

  • if your metals heating up, Opera mini browser is the answer :)

  • i simply love this phone but the only thing i woild like to know how it shows indication of call waiting when the other person is already on call? please reply

  • The Dolby Mobile is awesome when used with certain headphones. The ones the come as standared with the phone are ok, but not the best. I found the ones that came with my htc desire are perfect and I had to play around and adjust the equilizer settings to get the ultimate sound experience. When you get the right headphones then the sound from the phone is superb, but remember that the equilizer is also your friend.

  • It has radio. You should change that on spec list ;)

  • This phone has the option to allow you to share mp4s via facebook straight from the media player, but I can't see an option for file transfer of songs via bluetooth, so I downloaded 'bluetooth file transfer' from the marketplace. Also another thing to add, is that on the default browser, you can choose weather you want mobile or desktop view for web pages.

  • Is anyone having trouble using the gesture controls for changing the music tracks ? It says shake the phone but it seems abit hit and miss. cant quite get it right.

  • I recomend you to install the app "lgCamera" from Market in order to improve photo/video quality, since stock camera app make noisy and blurry images. I'ts a must if you have planned to use the camera. Check this out:

  • Awesome phone needed to root and spoof the model name to run Gameloft games like 9mm, Backstab and Modern Combat 2 they all run with no lag whatsoever.

  • I got this phone two days agao and i simply love it. The touch and the overall features are really nice. The only thing i woild like to know how it shows indication of call waiting when the other person is already on call? please reply

  • I wonder if this model will be getting the android 4.0 update? If it will im so buying this. A phone with a good price and power.

  • pls i my screen is broaken (acer s100) how can i get the screen pls

  • 2.3.6 update now available.

  • With subject to animesh_10 : Even my phone is shutting down by itself and could not be turned on unless the resetting the battery . Even though the phone gets off the led light keeps blinking . animesh_10 the only solution i have found is to put in charge during night times so that i don't miss my alarm or calls !

  • that is true.. i bought one two weeks ago and put the incorrect SIM unlock code in 10 times.. it is now a brick no option to enter codes anymore tried every possible way of putting on a custom rom - all failed every single thing i have read for the last two weeks from google searches just don't work also there is no file manager as standard which is a silly i jumped into trying to root/rom it to fast when all i needed to do was a system update via the : about phone menu

  • you can free up lots of space if you use titanium backup (paid version) to remove unwanted system app (acer stuff, etc.) AND integrate updates into rom. The updates of maps, gmail, market, flash etc are eating up huge amounts of the user app storage. Flash takes up ~17mB alone. Not sure if any other apps can do this successfully, but I can confirm that the full version of titanium backup works great.

  • The phone is shutting down by itself sometimes. Did a factory reset still the same thing...Cannot turn on without resetting the battery. No applications installation after factory reset Current OS : Android 2.2.2 Can anyone say whats going on ?

  • For those complaining about the memory partitioning, root your phone and install Link2sd. Now you can install all the apps you want to your sd card. Enjoy your $128 phone, it's a little ripper!

  • Great phone for AU$128. I just wish it had more space to store apps. Even with root access, you still cannot free up much space - but you cannot expect too much at this price point. For those who want to know how to root/flash/unlock this phone, Google "acer liquid metal whirlpool" to find the thread on the Australian whirlpool forums.

  • Needs memory partition updated. 2.3.5 takes up another 17mb of user space over 2.2 what with Flash 11 etc leaving even less for apps. Deleting some apps and reinstalling the latest version fresh without all the updates has helped a little (Google+ came down about 10MB) but could do with a bit more space on next ROM update as i guess 2.3 is likely to be the last big OS update.

  • Hi,I was just wondering what those three files you said were. Can't find them anywhere. If you could tell me, it would be greatly appresiated.

  • is this phone locked with telstra or a different carrier?

  • Hi Mick i too got this Phone JB Hi-Fi down in Melbourne i have the 3 files you need to unlock the phone its very simple and easy you just put them on my memory card then activate download mode the phone does the rest

  • 2.3.5 update now available on Acer web site. It's a bit of a culture shock!

  • Rumour that Telstra is bricking for all its latest batch during unlocked process unless you pay $50 to $100 for unlocked code, JB run out of stock for last batch and the unlocking process is quite risky if you are inexperience

  • Can u tell me pls how to unlock phone because I got it from jb and I couldn't unlock it so pls, it'll be appreciable , thanks

  • Bought this phone a few weeks ago. I love it. The battery life is not the best. But all round its a great phone

  • This phone is ideal for people who loves to waste their money

  • $128 at JBhifi in Australia locked to telstra but reasonably easy to unlock for free by updating the rom to 2.3.4 with acer download tool . easily the best value for money phone available as of september 2011 .

  • Really good, love it!!!

  • Will gameloft's Hd games work? eg modern combat 2, splinter cell, hawx, etc? Coz I'm getting the phone

  • Im planning to buy this phone... howz the phone?

  • liquid mt has built in fm radio. you need to plug in a wired headset for it to be functionnal

  • Hi MArk. I am in Africa, Kenya and I haven;t experienced the heating. May be your device has power supply issue

  • as compered to deffy liquid mt is v.nyc

  • Hy, Android 2.3.4 leaks on UK. No Bug, work good

  • is it.. thats great bro..

  • Hi PRIDE, any info about when we can expect an upgrade to 2.3 from Acer. How much did you pay for your Acer Liquid MT.I heard that the memory free for download is quiet low on this device. Whats your opinion. Thanks PRIDE

  • Ok, so I'k getting used to the keyboard now. Another thing to note, is that the touchscreen is what I consider true multitouch. By that I mean that the screen recognises more than two touch points at once. The htc desire for example would register no more than two fingers at any one time on the screen. This will allow for more than two, which is ideal for games.

  • Great little android phone. Although it's only an 800 mhz processor, it is fast enough to run games like Need For Speed Drift without any issues. The dolby mobile sounds awesome once you set the equilizer. Obviously ths supports flash player, and it works without problems. Horrible inacurate keyboard for big fingers though.

  • Not officially. Over at modaco.com they have released an unofficial one from Acer (still a few glitches) but runs pretty smoothly. Everything functions as you would expect to function.

  • thx for information bro.. one more question pls.. this liquid metal got album art when playing the song??

  • @Redz: Box including 8gb memory card. most 3d and high game are smooth. Loud speaker sound is normal about volume and quantity.

  • hello.. this liquid mt what price in malaysia??? and this phones 'games' 3d??? Buy this phone only 512mb memory stick??? What price 8 or 16 gigabytes memory stick? How about the loud speaker sound?? i love to listening music and play games.umm..

  • Is there android 2.3 update out yet for this model. I mean the official update by Acer. Because the Liquid Mini has it already or does the same update work for this one too?

  • Does anyone know where the message save into, which folder? some message rejected due to full but i hv just fews sms only. where to clear it or can the message save it to memory card?

  • May I know what UI is better ? Acer or andriod for this metal.

  • Did you load the battery to the exat full. The batterylife also depends what mode you are using like 2G or 3G. The brighness of the display is important also. If it is in high brightness it will shurely drain battery. Also if there is even one app running in background it will drain battery. Be shure to always close every app you use. I mean realy close and not just put out of sight.

  • I loved this fon the first few months.I'm in africa and the fon heats so bad especially wen charging. It goes off itself after overheating. You can not use it more than 1 year, maybe if you are in Africa. You have to carry your USB cord everywhere you go. I loved it but I have to put it down

  • Does anyone face the loud speaker problem. it seem the sound so soft when you use the loud speaker to answer or call. but i don't have the problem when listening or playing song.

  • does it support divx/xvid videos in default player?

  • Any body have experience about the battery? I just buy this phone, only few hours my phone alreadfy died.

  • The specifications say there is no radio. There wasn't. Just patched my phone today and now there is a Full spec FM radio with RDS, recording and Gracenote audio identification. Even the overall performance, fonts and camera seems to have improved. Superb phone: 10/10!

  • i got this phone for a few days and i must say this is a nice smart phone, it's supported flash animation in web browser, the preinstall apps are running fast and smooth, i like the notification led light at top of the phone, FM radio may not come when you purchase it, but you'll have it after upgraded the ROM (AAP.GEN2)!

  • If any one could share their experience on this phone?

  • is this phone as normal as android phone ? can download game or what or not ?

  • Is the glass on this phone something like gorilla glass? I mean is it easily scrached or is it resistant?

  • of course u can bro!

  • I am thinking of buying this phone but I have heared that the camera is bad(about 3mp non autofocus level). So do the updates make the camera better?

  • i have the this phone and in the user docs it says that there is a IR port

  • nope, flash 10.1 depends on arv7 + processors..

  • But Flash 10.1 is only for 1ghz i heard?

  • It has RADIO now, go update your firmware via Acer's support site! I'm from Asia (Malaysia), just finished updated to the latest firmware(gen2) and it has got RADIO with it plus overall is much much more smoother and zippier than before. Good luck guys!

  • Is it possible to get an fm radio app since this one doesn't have an inbuilt fm radio? FM radio app with RDS if we are precise. So is it possible if the phone doesn't originaly have an inbuilt one?

  • It doesn't on the standard firmware....however if you install one of the numerous custom firmwares it is enabled :)

  • did acer liquid metal support chinese language?? love this phone so much

  • did this phone gt chinese language or nt??thx for answer=)

  • Dammit!!! It doesnt even have a FM...

  • Where can I buy this phone here in Doha, Qatar.

  • It is a good phone.

  • Dunno where you can find it with contract but you can find it at a price of 285.5 euros at pixmania-pro.

  • Does anybody know were this phone can be purchased on contract, tried Carphone Warehouse as well as a number of other but can't seem to find it?

  • Yes, the updates are free. You can go for it, it's a very good and powerful android phone.

  • I am thinking of bying this phone so I ask this because I hvae never used android. Is it free to update this into Android version 2.3?

  • Nice Phone

  • Got d Metal today, very very nice indeed! Dont mean to offend others but it's just my own personal review, it is better than my previous Milestone and X10i in term of sound quality and also overall performances. Acer this time really did well. With such price, such specs, such quality and overall, it is a very worth phone. New UI = New experiences. Love the recent apps shortcuts and also the side-way sliding menu. cant feel any lag at all altho it is just 800mhz. only down side is the internal memory, only left around 103-105mb for user's apps installation. and also, camera is poor compare to Milestone and X10i(the best camera in android range) but well, good for emergency use anyhow :) hopefully my short review able to help as guide/references for those who're interested with Liquid Metal :)

  • it supports flash player 10.1 as it's on froyo 2.2 out of the box. Read specifications and do some researches on google before asking idiot questions!

  • Is it possible to download flash lite 4 or flash 10.1 to this. I am thinking of bying this so it would be nice to know.

  • that is a great phone and value.......wonderful phone

  • support 4 fingers at the same time!

  • I have one and can confirm it is multi-touch

  • Why not multi-touch?

  • the carefour is cheating the customer by showing the model in the add but when u reach their shop they r showing the e101 model ..bleddy cheaters..they r blaming that the picture will be as add only but not true...

  • according to acer singapore, this phone will be launched at the end of the week in SG (:

  • I saw an offer here in KSA at Carrefour , Acer laptop and acer smartphone (as shown in figure,it is acer liq. metal for sure) only in 2389 SR. Can anyone please confirm is it the same phone as they showed in offer leaflet ...because the model is not mentioned in that...?

  • The best thing about acer phones is that it allows user to choose between their customised UI or RAW Android out of the box, without flashing the phone. I like this policy, be free to choose what I want to use.

  • The Liquid Metal is now in stock in nearly ALL European Expansys sites. I just ordered mine from

  • has anyone found a 3G 850/1900/2100 version for sale? Or know the model number for that version?

  • it depends on what country you buy from

  • There is no arabic language on this phone.

  • The sound is better than the 1st acer liquid.

  • Is Acer Liquid Metal support Arabic Language?

  • How is the speaker on the Liquid metal? On the original liquid it was pretty garbage.

  • Why no radio. Then it would be perfect.

  • correct link:

  • Excellent review (but not so good camera/video): www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/acer-liquid-met­al-rev-en.shtml

  • I have baught it in sfr shop here in france. I've paid it only 1 euro with contract :-) It't available now on expansys.com depending where you are. The price is $420 sim free without contract.

  • It is not scratch resitant. At that price, don't expect a high-end phone. But it's a very good phone and worth its price. I have it since 1 month now and I'm very happy with it. I recommend it!

  • the only place i have found it at (so far) is expansys online.

  • in sweden this phone will cost 320 euro , is very good news .

  • I Know it have platic screen , BUT do the have scratch-resistens surface? Please help med!?

  • Where are the Acer smart phones available? I am in love with all of them and especially this one here (Liquid Metal) and need to know where i can get it and how do i get it??? Thanks!!!

  • Thanks for the link! Its very good lucking phone. especially in silver color i think. Too bad it was not a real live image on the phone. ;)

  • Hi, you can see the front face by clicking the link below: Hope that will help you :)

  • I Cant find any live real pitchures on the Silver version on the front! Only on the back. I will see the hole silver version! Please help me?

  • I have this phone since 2 weeks and it really rocks. it's the best choice in terms of quality/Price I recommend it for every one who don't pay more to have the same thing.

  • I have found one on ebay! 350 Euros, the seller say locked to SFR France but Acer phones are unlocked and will work with your UK sim card. This is the link: Enjoy!

  • Hi Dave.. yes, unfortunately sold out quickly and no more in stock. I'll inform you when it will be available again. And yes, there is no differences at all between the phones sold in France and UK..they have the same specs. just the default language, it comes French in france and english in UK..but you can change it in the settings :-)

  • Tired waiting for this phone. Acer cheat customer, they said Liquid E will get froyo in November, but until now, there is nothing. And they said Liquid Metal will available at November, but there is nothing too. I think they are overwhelmed to develop Froyo for their devices, so everything is delayed for Froyo.

  • your correct about that but the AMOLED still has broblems (eg, if inconatact iwth moisture/water, ther screen will be damnaged and also is more subject to screen burn and waring out) But still,. the colours on a AMOLED ar way better than a typical LCD

  • Aye looks to have sold out pretty quick and the comments were mostly very positive. Just need to find out when it will be released in the UK....news has dried up and no new info...Acer UK have even pulled it off their product listings and pulled the news feed that said it would be available in November...leaving everyone in the dark. I would buy it from France....if it has the right 3G frequencies I require: 850, 1900 and 2100MHz, but it is proving difficult to find that out.

  • It was available on SFR online store. But it it is unavailable now. check this link: You'll find also comments of users whom baught it.

  • what shops is it available in France? I have had a look but any I have found don't have it in stock yet.

  • The AMOLED screen is better and brighter than any LCD screen including the Retina( which is an enhanced lcd) I'm sure that you have no galaxy S and never seen it closer..you're just a kid who has an acer phone after saving money 2 years to buy a phone.

  • Why the statut is still coming soon? It is available here in France. 1 Euros with contract and 349� with prepaid sim cards.

  • Here's a review: and a comparison: it's not in english though, it's in italian

  • was impossible*

  • Even the official press release on 17th November on Acer.co.uk said it will be available in November.....still no info regarding a release date....why do companies post lies? They must of known a November release wasn't impossible.....guess it's all about building hype....I think they should get fined for false advertising!

  • status coming soon. exp. release 2010, november wtf , is 1 december and still nothing .

  • Looks like it will be delayed until January:

  • wow what a phone dude.... radio isn't a problem ..... who need damn FM radio when you've YouTube access and 32GB memory

  • ya, i have S.AMOLED Galaxy S and Liquid on TFT the LCD on acer is brighter than samsung while AMOLED is yellowish background light

  • Does the phone support FM radio?

  • Dude what are you talking about? That's the main downside of LCD, that when you want black there is still light so you get like grey-black. Amoled can give real black. I don't have a preference for amoled/lcd, but what you are saying is wrong..

  • I need a new android phone that will work with 3G in both the UK and the USA...if these spec's are true then that will be the case. I currently use 2100 on the three network here in the UK. However I will be re-locating to the USA next year and wish to use their AT&T network which uses 850 and 1900. I am worried that Acer might simply release the UK version with only 900, 1900 and 2100.....anyone know if this will be the case?

  • dude AMOLED is newer but is not better , i think so . i dont like when pixels make own light , cause when is black color there is NO LIGHT .

  • your saying tft is better than amoled and you call him a noob?!

  • i have a liquid E..is there any way i can update the os/ increase the processor speed??

  • What body type?Metal?

  • Hey NOOB! Amoled is miles ahead of TFT, unless that is you want to go back 6 years in technology. All mobile phone screens are useless in direct sun, so the test in the video is bogus. Amoled is clearer, brighter and crisper than TFT too.

  • hey NOOB why u preffer AMOLED screen ??? TFT is best . look video

  • I was video calling in Croatia in 2006, then on my Sony Ericsson... We stopped using it because it's not practical in most everyday situations, not because of technology. Apple is amazing at selling old crap to Apple freaks. I have to give it to them tough, iPhone 4 is technologically now up there with other much more advanced brands. About this Acer, i like it. I would prefer an AMOLED screen and maybe as big as 4 inches, but other than that i can see it as my next replacement phone when my contract expires.

  • bagay ka aling troody

  • About 400Euro

  • more like because the fad of video calling has long lost its popularity but then apple decides to "make video calling a reality" long after that

  • No 'proximity sensor for auto turn off'? no suggestion that this is not true!

  • Why no front facing camera. Apple got it spot on including one. Just as brand width speeds increase and video calling becomes a possibility every company drops the front facing. Strange?

  • NAM release??? its much faster than Liquid E new chip-set is more efficient lower battery use, cooler running...I have a liquid e that has been overclocked to 960 and honestly 768 to 960...not much difference..... REAL advantage here will be a 1500mh battery and a more efficient chip-set My Liquid E has 2.2 running on it now YOU can change from Acer UI to stock Vanilla or even run the Acer UI with ADW on top...it rocks Google: LCR-F or LCR-E

  • Agree! :D

  • Finally it's out, been waiting this for century..

  • yes it's only a bit "faster" in terms of hertz : 800mhz against 768 mhz BUT ... BUT that's the next generation of qualcomm snapdragon and that's why ... it really is going to be faster !!! for example , the same processor is used for the HTC desire Z ( it's kind of the best querty keyboard androphone these days ... ) and no one said it was a slow device , on the contrary it really is a snappy one ! So don't concider too lightly this phone because of it's frequency ! it has what is mostly needed and quite a good design ! If i do remember acer used to sell the liquid E at a really low price at the time ! Perhaps it's gonna be the same for this device too ! If that's the case it may become a strong opponent for other smartphone companies ! the main missing information is of course the UI quality .... we'll see !!

  • OHH yeaa, exactly the same... ( beautiful times ) huuh

  • Reminds me of my good old N70 !!!

  • right now im very happy with my liquid e, but liquid metal totally my next phone...

  • I just got the Acer liquid E and I had a Motorola Quench/clix xt and this just blows it away . I was actually happy with the mopto but when I found out that there would be no upgrade to 2.1 from 1.5 in Canada but in the USA they are giving it the upgrade and not 2.1 but 2.2 Froyo. So that was it I took out the sim chip and put it on the shelf until My Acer showed up by UPS 2 days later. This thing is lightning fast and is getting the 2.2 upgrade in October so see ya later Motorola....Hello Acer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Mhz speed isn't equal the performance of the Phone. The new 800mhz 7230 is far faster than the old 1ghz Snapdragon. Yet idiots still moan about ghz. My 2.67ghz i7 920 (Passmark score 5565) can easily destroy a Pentium 4 at 3.8ghz (Passmark score 637). Same goes for MP, 5 good megapixels with a decent lens is FAR better than a crap 8MP camera. Look at high end compacts, they are all reducing from 14/12mp to 10mp these days, because MP is mostly a gimmick for idiots. The Liquid Metal uses the same CPU as the Desire Z for reference.

  • acer mobile ver nice looking,

  • will be perfect if processor will be 1G , camera 8 MP and 4.0 inch screen .

  • Liquid Metal? Why don't they call it the Acer Mercury instead? Lol

  • looks nice!

  • acer don't want to be the last

  • Another Liquid new line up, cheerssss.....

  • Can't wait to see what this brings, it's about time we had some stylish Androids..
