Acer Liquid Metal Announced For The UK
Acer just announced their latest Android smartphone. Called the Acer Liquid Metal, it comes in a shapely slate form factor that the company claims will facilitate an improved grip.
The handset runs Android 2.2 Froyo, with all of the latest OS version’s roster of features and Google’s suite of applications. If you don’t like your Android UI bare, you’re in luck, as it’s got the manufacturer’s Breeze interface running on top, along with SocialJogger, a homebrewed social aggregator with a dedicated widget on the home screen. According to Acer, the new UI is designed for easier management of applications.
Details of the Acer Liquid Metal include a 3.6-inch capacitive touchscreen, a 5.0 megapixel camera module (with 720p video recording), aGPS, 3G with support for 14.4Mbps HSDPA, WiFi, DLNA/UPnP streaming support, Dolby Surround technology and microSD card expansion. Acer says it supports tethering via USB, so you can share that 14.4Mbps with your computer.
Looking particularly sleek, the body comes with a soft-touch finish, chrome trims and a steel battery cover. An 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7230 processor sits inside, commanding the action.
UK gets first dibs on the Acer Liquid Metal, with the brown version dropping in stores starting mid-November. A silver version will come in early December, with both priced at £299.
