Acer Liquid A1 gets previewed
| November 4, 2009 | Posted by Alyssa Duval under Electronics, Gadgets, Tech News, Twitter |
The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 may have been making the Android headlines this week, but it’s not the first smartphone running Google’s open-source OS to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. That honor goes to the Acer Liquid A1 – though the company have apparently underclocked the CPU to 768MHz – set to be the first Snapdragon Android phone to reach consumers’ hands. Arne from the::unwired has been playing with the Liquid and has put together a “preview” review.
We’re still not entirely convinced by the Acer’s physical design, and we wish they’d done more to the smartphone’s UI too. Arne gives them credit for bundling the excellent RoadSync Exchange client - which goes some way to making up for their choice of Android 1.6 rather than 2.0, which has native Exchange support – along with some of their own apps for streaming media, improved local media control and social networking.
In the end, the Liquid A1 scores highly for its performance and its stability, though it lacks some features many consumers might reckon are becoming essential: an LED flash, for instance, and an integrated Twitter client. It’s expected to hit shelves across Europe within the next few weeks

Thanks for publishing about this. There’s a lot of solid tech information on the internet. You’ve got a lot of that info here on your web site. I’m impressed – I try to keep a couple blogs fairly ongoing, but it’s a struggle sometimes. You’ve done a big job with this one. How do you do it?
Nice blog, I was doing a little net browsing and stumbled onto your website, I used to be wondering if you knew your blog is rendering unusually within the K-mellon internet browser. I will see most of it however the graphics are somehow out of wallop. Probably not a big issue since hardly nobody utilizes it anymore however I am old school and still run it.
Nice website, I was doing a little net snooping and stumbled onto your website, I was wondering if you knew your blog is displaying strangely in the K-mellon browser. I will see everything however the pictures are one way or another out of wallop. In all probability not a big deal since basically no one uses it anymore but I am old school and still use it.
