    Phone is probably good, lacks some features like flash for the camera but still a good handset, not so sure about giffgaff and goodybags, depends on your usage pattern, o2 sim only suits me better than any other tariff for my £20 per month.

    Main disadvantages

    • Camera lacks flash or lens cover, has outdated features. Has LED flash, camera has Geo-tagging, face and smile detection and image stabilization
    • No smart dialing, no voice dialing, no videocalling. Has voice dialing
    • No web Flash support. Yes it does, as does all Android 2.2.
    • Acer UI 3.0 offers only minor changes to the original interface. It uses Acer 4.0 UI. A very radical change to the Android UI but not in a good way according to some.
    • Somewhat limited 3rd party software availability. Such as?
    • No DivX or XviD video support or a third-party application to play that.XviD/MP4/H.264/H.263 player
    • Poor MP4 playback performance - any videos over QVGA res are barely watchable. Surprising as it has 720p.
    • No proper file manager out of the box. Download Astro or equivalent for free
    • No TV-out port. Correct.
    • No FM radio. Correct


    DUTR, You are not quoting the right phone (again). You seem to think this is an Acer Liquid. It's not, it's an Acer Liquid Metal. Look at the link I provided, for the spec.
