Acer Liquid Metal Android 2.2 Smartphone Gets Official

Acer has gone ahead and announced its Liquid Metal Android 2.2 smartphone following an earlier leak that we had reported. The phone will carry 3.6-inch display, be wrapped in metal, and have curved top and bottom edges. It will run Google's Froyo of Android and will utilize a Qualcomm 800 MHz processor, similar to that found on the HTC Desire Z and the T-Mobile G2 for the U.S. market. Additionally, the Liquid Metal will also have a WiFi b/g/n radio, support for 14 Mbps HSDPA networks, and a 5-megapixel camera with flash and 720p HD video recording. DLNA is also supported and Acer has also included Dolby support, like on the Nokia N8. Tethering is also supported out of the box.

There will be two color variations for the phone. The brown version will ship in November in the UK while a silver version will be coming in December. Both iterations will be priced at £299 and will feature the company's Breeze user interface.

Acer Liquid Metal Supports 14.4Mbps HSPA, New Snapdragon Chipset

Acer is rocking the smartphone space with its Liquid Metal, which supports 14.4Mbps HSPA 3G for super fast data where it’s available. Additionally, the new Acer Liquid Metal features the latest Snapdragon MSM7230 chipset that sits in the T-Mobile G2 and HTC Desire Z. As we’ve seen in tests, the 800MHz processor might not look as good on paper as the 1GHz CPUs we find in other smartphones, but it is equally capable.

The Liquid Metal runs Android 2.2, but will be coming skinned with Acer’s Breeze interface. Breeze adds some social networking and weather widgets amongst other things to give a little distinct taste to vanilla Android if you’re looking for a bit more than just the bare-bones OS. But the build quality of the phone is different, too
