Acer’s new Liquid e smartphone is Liquid A1’s updated version
Acer presented its new smartphone along with other models at the previous Mobile World Congress, which is an updated version of the Acer Liquid A1 handset, the Acer Liquid e. The major improvement would be on its operating system, as the Acer Liquid e sports the newer Android 2.1 OS from the 1.6 version that the Acer Liquid A1 has. Other than that, no other big differences between the two Acer smartphones since the company wants to keep the more important features form the Acer Liquid A1.
So, the Acer Liquid e features a 3.5 inch WVGA HD touch screen display and runs a Qualcomm 8259 CPU operating at 768 MHz. The Android 2.1 operating system’s browser has support for HTML5 applications, geo-location and video-tagging. There’s a microSD card slot for expanding the storage capability of the phone in case you need extra space for storing media files.
Photo enthusiasts would be happy to know that the Acer Liquid e’s integrated camera is a 5 megapixel one, and comes with an Autofocus capability. The smartphone is also integrated with various apps such as web applets, games, and professional applications as well via the Android Smart Handhelds suite. The Acer Liquid e weighs about 135 grams and can run for up to 5 hours of talk time.
No other details were supplied like availability and pricing for the mentioned smartphone.
I am a existing Omnia (910) user on Verizon who was extremely disappointed with Windows Mobile 6.1 and Samsung’s shell. Wound up buying SPB Mobile Shell to get a usable interface and had to abandon Exchange e mail caused by protection restrictions. Fundamentally anytime you tried to location or obtain a call, you had to enter your PIN and I was missing calls as a outcome. As a final point made the decision to abandon smartphones for your time being (economic factors) and wait for an excellent Android device. The Galaxy S (Facinate) need to fit the bill. Disappointed to hear on the GPS concerns. Let me add that Verizon’s 3G assistance was great all through and I at some point stopped using WiFi mainly because V3G was a lot fast enough for me.Interestingly, I’m using the Omnia being a wireless unit all around the residence for checking electronic mail, Twitter, Facebook and simple browsing. But not as a phone!
