Who doesn't turn their ears up when there's talk about a new gadget? Acer releasing an Android smartphone is quite this year's news, since the company is more known for their laptops and other devices instead of phones. Imagine our excited reaction when w...

I was quite surprised when I learned that PC manufacturer Acer, which is best known for its netbooks, also makes smart phones, and it was a pleasant surprise as the Acer Liquid handset takes a minimalist approach while showcasing the best of the Androi...

We don't much care for the black and white colour scheme of Acer's latest smartphone, but unlike the company's last few handsets, the Liquid is at least competent. Its previous phones were clunky Windows Mobile efforts, and the sleek touchscreen Liquid...

Acer first got into the smartphone market last year, after it acquired handset maker E-ten, with a dull range of Windows Mobile devices that failed to excite us. The Liquid is a complete re-boot: it looks entirely unlike the previous models, and it run...

Measured by the yardstick of usability, Acer's first foray into mobile phones late last year was not a success. Acer hobbled its first phones with the enduringly inept Windows Mobile operating system, now in its six-and-a-half incarnation, and even some fast and sexy 1GHz Snapdragon silicon couldn't save the Acer neoTouch S200 from its user-hostile stylus interface.So news of Acer re-embracing Linux for its follow-up smartphone - albeit by simply jumping on the Google Android bandwagon - had...

Acer did a good job of the Liquid. A novice in phones, the company deservedly stands next to makers with obviously better track record like HTC and Samsung. The Liquid surely isn't the heavily customized device HTC would usually offer, but the hot loo...

Turning on the Acer Liquid and you'll see that its ts 3.5-inch, 800×480 screen is absolutely gorgeous and superbly responsive to prods. If a PC-maker can stroll right into the smartphone market and come out with one of these, what on earth is App...
Before powering up the Acer Liquid, you might be disappointed by the handset itself. It feels too wide in the hand, with a bulky bezel that attracts way too many fingerprints for our liking, leaving us longing for the awesome Teflon coating of the HTC Her...

Acer's venture into mobile phone territory has so far been limited to handsets based on Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system. Certain models, such as the tasty S200 and F900 , were pretty impressive, but there have been misses, too, including the v...

Over the last 12 months Acer has been spitting out smartphones like there is no tomorrow. Some of them, like the Tempo F900, have been quite good while others, like the beTouch E101, have been, ahem, less impressive. Yet none have really scored as a hi...
