Looks very small. I hope this is a betouch or something.

[Guest Shreedhan]

Looks like a beTouch E120.

[Guest Auxx]

Oh my! Let it be current Acer Liquid design + physical keyboard + 512 MB RAM + normal multi-touch touchscreen + better GPU! I would definitely buy this without thinking!

[Guest Auxx]

Oh my! I've just found photos! Google is extremely fast indexing new content (: Look! http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/android/103871/

[Guest lgcmn]

And it looks like this? :P

i think it's just a picture, nothing more..

AFAIK Metal will have Stream software. I think every Acer user (Liquid, E, Stream, Metal) will get Froyo - the hardware is almost the same.

[Guest vache]

Metal have Qualcomm MSM 7230, really different than our Qualcomm Snapdragon 8250.

This phone have really nice specs and have a sweet design.

Hope the specs are the good one.

[Guest tc4101]

wow that is a nice phone.... but i really wanna see the front of the phone... i hope they do physical menu buttons... possible indented like the iphone to prevent accidental touches.... 3 buttons is fine and a trackball..... no need for search button....

Hope the specs are the good one.

Is that the same processor in the T-Mobile G2 releasing this month in the US?

If so, it is supposed to be lower power and handle graphics a lot better. Exciting.

[Guest xian1243]

I'll buy this the DAY it comes out :) Loving that design, same take as the Samsung Captivate from AT&T over in the US, aluminum body, flash, I'm liking it! A discrete GPU upgrade, and that CPU is capable of doing 800MHz->1GHz :P

Way to go Acer, I actually may buy another one of your products.

P.S. Same SoC as in the G2, Scorpion CPU (what we currently have in our A1), capable of 1GHz, Adreno205 (we currently have Adreno200) which can do Flash and SVG HW accel, has built in OpenGLES 2.0, BT 3.0, and of course, HSDPA, all integrated into the SoC.

[Guest lgcmn]

i was going to buy tomorrow Liquid E or Stream (haven't decided yet)..

and now, when i saw the photos and specs, i will wait for this release..it's really awesome (especially the brown one)..

can't wait for the official announcement :P

[Guest -Zaka-]

This one has flash!! I missing it in my Liquid :P

[Guest neo76100]

I can't see it anymore on Acer download center

[Guest mmick]

I bought a my brand new Liquid for 240€, shipment included so I wouldn´t wait for this release as it will cost a lot more, for sure. For current crops of Android, Liquid is more than enough for me.

When Android v3.0 arrives then I will want to replace my Liquid for a full 1Ghz (or more) SoC + 512Mb RAM (or more), hopefully with a Super LCD / Super AMOLED RGB onboard :P
