Anyone thinking of 'upgrading' to Acer Liquid E?

[Guest Phil001]

£132.90 today only

would it be considered an upgrade?

[Guest k0zmic]

Probably. Full specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/acer_liquid_e-3156.php

Just looked up some reviews and they're quite mixed regarding the seller.

i would not recommend

afaik old 65nm cpu and same slow GPU as the blade (adreno200)

[Guest k0zmic]

It is ARM v7 though = more games and certain apps can run on it.

[Guest hecatae]

full kernel sources available from acer, huge rom community in the liquid.modaco.com forum, working cm7 and miui roms

[Guest Mushroom_Lord]

Not worth the money imo. I'd get one if I didn't already have the blade, however...

[Guest Phil001]

yep, i cant afford it at the moment, but just wondered what the opinions on it were

[Guest iNoobz2Droid]

thats what i meant, maybe a good deal when you got no android phone, but not worth the money to upgrade from blade imho

[Guest k0zmic]

I passed on it as well, if there's a problem with the seller which a few people claim to have had it just doesn't seem worth the hassle.

I will continue to wait for my contract to run down and then get a GS2 probably.

Please tell me you didn't but the blade on contract :)

[Guest k0zmic]

Please tell me you didn't but the blade on contract :rolleyes:

:)

Hell no, I bought it on Pay as you go because my Hero's touchscreen died and I needed something as a kind of stopgap till my contract runs down. I was considering moving to GiffGaff for my next phone but having seen the 3G problems I'm not too sure.

Specs say 1ghz snapdragon..?

[Guest Dario93]

Wrong specs :rolleyes: Well,almost every liquid can reach with OC kernels 998 MHz,but they are 768 by default. However,with latest CM7 builds,speed is awesome at 768 MHz :)

dont seem a huge upgrade from the blade, as much a fan I am of acer, I will be holding off for a while, hoping to do some more dev-work for the blade, this dog hasnt had its day yet!

But the Liquid Mini is a different phone from the Liquid E. Anyway, if you already have the Blade/OSF don't bother.

specs say - Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon chipset

which is first gen snapdragon in 65nm

[Guest k0zmic]

It's still a good processor IMO.
