Acer is the world’s second largest computer manufacturer after HP, but its smartphone department clearly wasn’t the company’s focus. Now that everybody is giving it a try, Acer decided it is high time to nail it.
It was obviously not going to happen with the half-baked effort to out a budget Android handset that was the Acer beTouch 110, and not even with the Acer Stream, which offered specs and design, as well the intriguing Breeze UI, but was overpriced, and had some camera quality issues.
Good things come to those who try hard, so when the Acer Liquid Metal was leaked back in September, it looked quite promising, and all we wished then was for the price to be right. Well, we can check this one out of the way, as we’ve seen it for less than $400 unlocked in the US, and EUR 320 in Europe.
Very decent price for an Android 2.2 handset with second generation Snapdragon chipset – the same one that is in the T-Mobile G2 and its HTC Desire Z version – as well as 512MB RAM/ROM, and some perks like Dolby Mobile, LED notification icons and dual mikes for noise-cancellation.
