I am now the proud owner of this phone. I love it. The startup is quick, and you are then led to the main screen. It is the basic Android screen, with the only difference being the acer settings icon.
The phone is Very fast and the applications run instantly. The battery life is short, but not quite as bad as the reviews I have read. The battery seems to be ok for 24 hours of normal phone usage, with low internet usage.
The internet seems to work fine on 3G, but in the UK this can be expensive. Come on operators, give us more allowance so we can browse the web on the move without breaking the bank.
Back to the phone. When you use the internet on WiFi, the phone really comes to life. I can browse the web on this faster than on my Eeepc. Not suprising really as the processor in the Liquid is FASTER. That coupled with the fact that you don't have windows dragging it down and you have a replacement for your netbook.
The onscreen keyboard is a little fiddly, and takes some getting used to. It tends to be a little easier in landscape mode. The switch between Portrait and landscape is not instant, but darn close.
The camera is 5MP, and Acer have spent out on some decent optics. It takes great photos. The problem is there is no flash.
the casing of the phone feels a bit cheap and plasticy, but looks very nice. It is a bit thicker than other phones on the market, but I like that. Feels more substantial.
I love this phone. I cannot compare it to others as I have no experiance of using them, but I would think you would have to go a fair way to beat this.

What a beauty, it is eye catching. But is it really draining the battery in a day? I currently use the Android G1 and I m looking for another Android. Recommendations please....
Love this device, great screen , one of the best and powerful sound through headphones (better than iphone). lacks FM radio, flash light and physical directional buttons/ball (although i don't miss them a lot), worth buying with such price tag.
main tip to update to android 2.01 or 2.1 and buy much better battery i 'm sure there is one with much better power then main battery
Whats the point of stuffing up a device with all that high-tech jewelry inside when the extremely limited battery life permits you to enjoy it fully!?!? Especially when the device is a "phone" oriented gadget! I mean at least Acer does not pump up the price like nokia or samsung or se but still there is a lot to be done in the powering the devices with energy department! Could someone enlighten me what is the battery life optimization that acer are claiming they did on the liquid?? I mean with the short battery life it is now if there wasnt a optimization it would'v lasted like half a day ??!

Iordan, 15 Dec 2009 Can someone please comment on the battery life of this fantastic looking handset as it has ... morebought last friday love UI feels a bit plasticky but light and easy to use but BATTERY DOES NOT LAST A DAY and thats making 5 phone calls lasting approx 5-6 mins each and browsing for a total of 15 mins and thirteen texts. From full charge at 09:00 to switching itself off by 23:20 just over 14 hours and its not like i did a lot. It sort of reminds me of my old N95 but worse.
Eric, 14 Dec 2009Have been told the the Liquid's SAR value is pretty high - 1.52 W/kg. Can anyone confirm this?From its user manual the SAR is:
(CE) Head 0.725 (W/Kg 10g) Body 1.14 (W/Kg 10g)
Can someone please comment on the battery life of this fantastic looking handset as it has captured my heart and I really want to buy it!
Will it survive a full day of heavy use???
