Guest jdouce Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Hi Peps, I've been using my Acer Liquid for the last year very happily. After all it only cost me £100 on eBay XD But that was a year ago, and now I wonder if your ZTE Blade grass is greener. Has any one with experience with both phones? It shouldn't cost me much to swap, if anything at all, as the Liquid still is worth 100ish on eBay. I understand the blade is OLED, and has 512MB ram, where as the Liquid has the faster CPU. Any input welcome. Thanks
Guest Azurren Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Newer Blades aren't OLED (Unless you are very, very lucky) What are your reasons to "downgrade" to the SF anyway? I was under the impresstion that the liquid was just "better" full stop ;)
Guest jdouce Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) No reason really. A year is a long time for one phone for me, and I see all the action on the Blade forum. Is it really such a down grade? Anyone who has ever held a liquid knows how’s flimsy the build quality is, verging on nasty. From what I can tell only the CPU is a downgrade, but only by 150MHz. NB BTW I have the first original liquid Edited February 2, 2011 by jdouce
Guest The-One Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 It isnt just 150mhz, its much more than that because the Liquid has a first generation Snapdragon capped at 768Mhz instead of the normal 1Ghz.

Think about what you just said. Read it through really thoroughly. If the blade is approx 600, and the Acer Liquid is approx 750... 750 - 600 = ... 150. ;)

So, its much more than that. A Snapdragon beats the hell out the blade CPU anytime, anywere. I also believe it uses the same CPU that the N1 used and ofc the crappy Adreno 200 that we also have in the Blade. Edited February 2, 2011 by The-One
Guest steviem Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 The Liquid is very flimsy though. My housemate cracked the lcd of it because it doesn't have much torsional strength...

NB BTW I have the first original liquid Negatives: The SanFran is solidly built and doesn't creak, but it still feels a bit cheap, with the grey version having a slight rubberised coating that I don't enjoy. The camera is utterly worthless... even worse than you'd expect from 3.2 megapixel without flash. The screen has a very lovely high resolution, but you'll get a TFT screen now and mine is rather blue-tinted. Voice call speaker is a bit too quiet. Media sound has a hiss and a click when it finishes. Angry Birds has severe slowdown on certain levels.

If your liquid is broken, then get an SF...otherwise no reason to change.... Also liquid can play flash, SF can't. The SF CPU is not supported by Adobe...
