Acer A1

The Acer Liquid A1 currently launches with Android 1.6 but if you’re craving Android 2.0 fear not – it will start shipping in 2010 with 2.0 in tact. That would LIKELY mean that carriers will also push OTA updates to bring your A1 up to date but that can’t be promised. Sometimes these tricky characters [...]

If you didn’t already know, the Acer Liquid A1 is already available in the good old UK and it really is a nice looking phone. Resting on a 1GHz snapdragon processor how can you complain? Easily, if you don’t live in the UK I suppose. But Americans will be relieved to know that the device [...]

The very first Acer Android Phone is shipping today in the United Kingdom courtesy of Clove. Check out that little area that says “Please Note” and as they suggest, note that the first stock has arrived and is shipping Tuesday and then note that TODAY is Tuesday! That’s right… the Acer A1 ships today: Here [...]

Acer is known mostly as a computer maker but this year they produced 10 mobile phones. Nine of those ten phones ran Windows Mobile and the latter – the Acer A1 – is an Android Phone expected to launch this week. With the company’s cost conscious approach to mobile phone manufacturing it is a REALLY [...]

For the UK’s Acer fans, the wait is almost over! According to UK retailer Clove, the Acer Liquid A1 will launch in the UK later this month. The Acer Liquid A1 will be sporting a Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor, which will be underclocked to 768MHz. It also features a 3.5 inch WVGAcapacitive touchscreen, 512 MB [...]

The Acer Liquid A1 has really been making the rounds lately! The naming thing still isn’t worked out but I’m thinking that “Acer Liquid” is the equivalent of HTC Sense, MOTO BLUR, etc… while “Acer A1” is still the name of the actual phone. Similar confusion occurred at the HTC Hero launch despite HTC making [...]

The number of custom Android builds/UIs is bound to grow and one upcoming entrant will be Acer with their “Liquid” build of Android. Whereas HTC Sense is a pretty drastic makeover and Motorola BLUR mainly touches on social aspects, Acer took a middle of the road approach with Liquid. They make non-invasive improvements to Android [...]

It is indeed a small world (enjoy: that song makes me want to kill myself) but its still big enough to screw us out of one-on-one time with the first Acer Android Phone, dubbed the A1 on the Acer Liquid line of phones. Lucky for us the folks at CNET UK got their hands on [...]

At an event in London, Acer just announced the first ever 1GHz Snapdragon-based Android Phone – the Acer Liquid A1. The name is a bit confusing as the company referred to the phone as the A1 on stage but published a press release announcing the launch of their complete line of Android Phones called Acer [...]

There are a lot of manufacturers migrating to Android, mostly at the expense of proprietary garbage and Windows Mobile. The latest added to this list is Acer who – according to DigiTimes – has shifted focus from WinMo to Android and half of their 2010 devices will feature Android OS. This according to their industry [...]

Look what has just popped up for pre-order at Expansys, the folks who perpetually leak lots of lovely devices month in and month out… it’s the Acer A1 Android Phone! This thing has seen MORE than its fair share of leaks and rumors over the past year, so to see this latest development is encouraging [...]

In an article discussing competition between Acer And Asustek, DigiTimes sheds some light on the launch date of the first Acer Android Phone which is rumored to be called the A1, saying it will launch in November. DigiTimes has a hit-or-miss record with rumore but the November timing provided by their source would certainly fall [...]

Apparently Acer has issued a press release declaring their membership in the Open Handset Alliance. We already knew Acer was working on Android devices but formally joining the OHA suggests a higher level of commitment and dedication to the Open Source platform. In the Press Release they reiterate expectations to launch an Android Phone in [...]

As with many up-and-coming Android Phone rumors, Acer’s Aspirations (see what I did there?) have always been apparent, but details were virtually non-existent. Then, at MWC2009 in February, we got wind of a sweet rumor that claimed Acer would have 2 Android Phones in 2009. A month later, we heard one might be called the [...]

We’ve talked a lot here at Phandroid about mobile convergence and one trend that persists is computer hardware manufacturers yearning to jump into the mobile phone game. It seems Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP and Lenovo all want a piece of the Android Phone action. Acer doesn’t intend to play follow the leader. Following up on [...]

Last month at Mobile World Congress, Acer introduced their first 4 mobile phones since purchasing phone maker E-Ten Information Systems. To the disappointment of Android Phone fans everywhere, every single one of those phones ran on Windows Mobile. But there is light at the end of the tunnel – according to an artilce on BusinessMirror, [...]
