Acer Stream - User Reviews

  • From how many storeys did you throw it down from?

  • I will never buy another acer product ,they charged me over $200 hundred for repair after only 14 months use

  • The stream didn't hit the market right, as a result i got mine for $250 AUD, its been a great phone had it for ages, you can run your work and private emails, all the expansions you need and take lots of calls during the day and still come out with enough charge to see you well into another day. The phones tough and takes punishment, yet still looks professional and stylish. Its been a great phone, time to make way for the Acer Cloud Mobile, but the Clouds battery capacity hasn't improved much over the Stream so i guess we'll have to see how it goes in the real world, Acer's don't necessarily impress on the spec sheet but they are great to live with.

  • Greatest phone ever, best features and I recommend this to everyone:)

  • OMG only £119 on expansys what a deal!

  • Bought the Stream like a month ago. Id spared some cash for a brand new phone and wanted an android phone with good spec/value. At first I set my eyes on samsung ace the price was around 350Eur/501Usd. Then I saw the stream on promotion in the same shop with a price tag of 250Eur/358Usd. (There are still some at Fnac I think, hurry if u want the last ones) You can imagine I choose the Stream lol. No led no prob for me, rest of spec > SS Ace by far. Also the box was full of goodies 2gSD+headphone+Screen protec+HP cover+charger So no need to buy extras. Still on 2.1 and got no prob so far. Will change later to 2.2 later when Ill finish gettin used to my phone perfectly. Yea happy with it

  • The specification of the phone is okay, but it's unaailable in my country. can someone pls help me out. i'm from nigeria. thanks.

  • your realy good ......

  • Do a hard reset and it will surely works great. Or update it with the official beta Froyo 2.2 rom that have been leaked on internet. It works great, no lags at all! just google Acer stream froyo and you'll be happy and will change your mind about this nice device!

  • this phone SUCKS.. phone RESTARTS most of the time.. and hangs up when u use VIDEO RECORDING. most of the time it says NOT REACHABLE even tho the network shows full.......

  • Euuh? Infra red in 2011? All the new phones doesn't have infra red! it has blutooth, usb , wifi b,g,n, HDMI...etc

  • i hate this phone there's no infra red!!! LOLS!!

  • Awesome phone. Not too big, fast processor, very nice amoled screen and build quality. Recommended for every one!

  • Notin to say vout dis tin........ nice,,,,,,,..

  • i really like this phone. better tahn all other brands. i sujesst to every onne buy tihs only.

  • Got this phone last week in Dubai for about USD 620. Day one I regretted why I didnt buy HTC desire, but after using it for a few days, I really dont have complaints about it. I would recommend it!

  • is this a Samsung Galaxy S variant or clone?

  • this is the worst phone i have ever used in my whole life,complete waste of money, poor battery backup and very bad performance i was pretty much happier with htc desire

  • acer is the best so i like it and guess what they bought it for me it,s so cool oh and they have facebook,yahoo,hotmail,gmail games which is virtual and they have google and internet and they bought me 17 phones oh were so rich who want,s a pear of phnes just come to america just kiding but i have 17 phnes their so cool i,ll send you one just send me at this gsmarina .oh gotta go my father bought mea new house and a new phone again that makes u m m 18 bye guys remember write it on gsmarina

  • features are great but the price should have been low, look at Nokia N8 all the features with less price so they should produce the same but with a lesser price to make some good market..

  • somebody has got this model?

  • i have acer laptop : and i am big fan of acer : and i hope one day acer will be in the top like htc and samsung : acer look to samsung wave !!!!! samsung is working so hard and the price is too low : acer phones price so highest : acer please do anything in the price

  • acer phones is so good : because in 2008 acer bought eten company ! as eten usre : i can say ! nice phones i used eten window mobiles : i can say it is like htc : i can not say better then htc because i not yet used any htc : and for acer !!!! please acer if you want be in the top in mobile world !!!! please note the acer phones price is so high :

  • Well, I personally do not get touched by any mobile as HTC HD2 is the best. guys wait until WIN7 hits the market. better phones are coming up. until then, HD2 rules of course thanks for the ROM developers who made us love our mobiles.

  • Acer phones seem like a good deal but when it comes down to performance they are right down snail pace. Customer support in the past has been dreadful. Just try and look up customer support and you'll see, doesn't exist. Trust me, avoid at all cost.

  • Acer phones are very weak, the menu always freezes, not worth the money, and Acer notebooks are as poor, up to a year, then breaks.

  • if you are using Nokia 5310 your camera will surely suck... Im an owner of the Desire, and the phone doesnt look great at all, I bought it because its a damn good piece of smartphone. I could have gotten Xperia X10 or htc hd2... Acer stream doesnt look bad at all...

  • Thsi handset is really good, I check and used and Feel its very dufferent and user friendly. Multiple preloaded appliation available for use. And about specification, its not more imp, but the imp is what ever we have in phone should be work properly. Thats all.

  • Why should I choose this over HTC desire? Please someone just give me one reason... Desire is even cheaper and has HTC Sence, better screen...

  • dont judge the phone by its specifications or what...you can judge it.unless you own one......????

  • Don't care about the flash... I never use phone as a camera since it just sucks! Design is what I dont like... looks like a slim brick...

  • You should buy a laptop with skype at this point.

  • Small menus are looking disgusting

  • no flash

  • Yet another too big android without T9 keyboard.

  • gsmarena , review as soon as possible please!

  • i think gsmarena forgot to type the flash on the primary camera description. you gotta have flash for this phone.

  • Go for HTC desire if need flash.

  • please look at Iphone? I think the phone is great, but ACER is doinng something else better, you now ....... Samsung galaxy s is the same, no flash , no led . Of course i make pictures usual way , with photo camera, but to not put a led, something. I think one fact is the batterys now, are not capable to suport all this energy starvation of the new devices. one idea .....

  • hey buddy....they didn't put flash to keep it slim as they can...

  • A phone is perfect when it meets your requirements. In your and my case, a phone can't ever be perfect because we always want more ^^. However, this phone is "top-of-the-line", again a brands flagship. So it should be as "perfect" as possible for at least a quarter :>

  • same as samsung galaxy s. why no flash? nobody now's. i think they forget to put.

  • there will never be a perfect phone. the specs you listed will be outdated in a matter of time.

  • agreed

  • If that is the case, you make the phone I'll but it! HAHAHAHAHAA

  • it has tv?

  • In review of a smart phone alway had some bad points on it. Why phone designer cant make a smart phone without disad. In my opinion on the future, a perfect smart phone need: 1. Screen: capacitive multitouch, 24 bit colours, AMOLED technology and with WGVA or more (3.5in minimum). 2. Camera: minimum 8MP, autofocus, smile-face detect, geo-tagging, Xenon flash for capture and LED for night video, 720p>24fps is standard needed. 3. Sound system: duo-3.5mm lineout and stereo speakers. 4. Memory and CHIP: 16GB built-in minimum, support microSD with host swap, 4GB ROM ready change new Android version, 1GHz CPU and 512MB RAM or more, power GPU now availble any model. 5. Energy: 20days in wait mode and can talk 10hour for a full charged, play audio up to 24h, video 12h request. 6. Design: slim design with hard case, no stylus, never become dirty. 7. Other: WiFi, HSDPA/HSUPA, BlueTooth, 2MP in front camera, auto -rotate UI, flash lite, scrarth-resistant surface, light weight, notification LED, USB3.0, HDMI port. My dream is it.

  • I've my hands on this phone. It is fast. Feels good. Light. Better than N97 performance.

  • A FLASH is a must HAVE Acer get you shitogether and put a flash on it

  • awesome phone by acer i love to purchase this cell in india

  • OS Android OS, v2.1 (Eclair), upgradable

  • Why is there no flash in this mobile ?

  • Flash??

  • how magnificent

  • MP3/WAV/WMA/eAAC+ player add also OGG since it's played natively on android OS.

  • i want 2 know f ds mobile s easy to txt, w/ my thumb finger

  • hdmi out...

  • I want This Phone As long as it doesnt lag as its shown in the Video I want its animations to be smooth ,Shouldnt be difficult with 1Ghz and 512MB Ram What do you think?

  • to check if it good or bad kindlu purchase it

  • I agree, very good phone and I really like it but the keys are a bit misplaced.

  • I want This Phone As long as it doesnt lag as its shown in the Video I want its animations to be smooth ,Shouldnt be difficult with 1Ghz and 512MB Ram What do you think?

  • But todays cellphones are computers with small screen, :)

  • NO Snapdragon more if android phones want to perform better in multimedia.

  • I like it, the only down is probably the bottom design area where the keys are. But it's good.

  • The phone doesn't look great for me but the specs are more convincing. But what I like the most is the Customization done by Acer. The UI looks great in the screen shots. I would buy it if the price tag is less than the Galaxy S.

  • just like windows and apple should stick to computer eh? its called expansion.

  • hello acer. hello batista. A phone with personality of it's own. I like this phone. If the price is lower then other, will be a good sell phone.

  • Acer should just stick to computers....

  • this phone looks like the ghetto version of the LG cookie XD

  • okay it IS rather ugly, but HEY! Are those dedicated music key? On a Droid? FINALLY. Something Sony Ericsson should have brought us, but well done Acer. Thats one more handset added to my Galaxy Spica Replacement shortlist.

  • ALL IN ONE PHONE!! another monster phone just like the Samsung Galaxy S!! for me sony ericcson, samsung, htc and acer are the best right now.. keep up the good work guys

  • WHY DOSE NO ANDROID PHONE HAVE TV OUT never has it i need tv out to pay for some thing that expensive

  • god damn that's a hell of a phone.

  • Absolutely a great phone, but can anyone give me a reason why I should wait for this phone, when I can also get myself a Samsung Galaxy S? (Price or brandbashing not needed to be mentioned.)

  • acer always sucks.

  • If it was called the Acer Steam I'd buy it.

  • They do some updates after release of the original liquid. And there are 2.1 ROMS that can be flashed over the 1.6. If engineering resources are limited, Acer should just release the source code so modders can use them to improve with.

  • Good specs but i hope for a better battery and good suport. I don't know why, but acer create good phones and they don't suport them at all.

  • first. awesome phone
