Acer Stream Coming To eXpansys In The UK On August 2nd; Packing Android 2.1, 1GHz Processor, 3.7” AMOLED, HDMI And More For £400

Posted by David Ruddock in Liquid Stream

The Acer Stream is coming to the UK, and it’s coming soon. Acer’s newest and most powerful Android device to date will initially be available exclusively through eXpansys.com in the UK starting on August 2nd. £400 will get you the device, unlocked. This is your only purchase option, as no carrier subsidies have yet been announced. I will say it’s pretty robust on the spec-sheet. The Stream features:

A 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor
3.7” WVGA AMOLED Display
512MB ROM / 512MB RAM
2GB Internal (Flash) Memory
MicroSD Card Slot
WiFi (presumably B/G/N), Bluetooth, and GPS
Mini HDMI-out
3.5mm Headphone Jack
720P (24FPS) Video Recording
5MP Camera
Android 2.1 with Acer Touch 3D UI 4.0

And here is the Stream, in all its glory:

The first thing I notice about the Stream is its lack of a trackball, d-pad, or optical trackpad.

Acer beTouch E130 – The Least Exciting Android Phone To Date - Hits FCC

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in Acer, News

Acer’s new beTouch E130 has passed the FCC. Check this thing out – it looks like they just slapped together some hardware they had left over in the 2005 parts bin, and the specs aren’t much better:

QWERTY keypad
2.6” 320 x 240 screen
416 Mhz CPU
256 MB RAM
512 MB Memory
3.2 MP Camera
WiFi (likely topping out at 802.11g)
Android 1.6

I have no idea what Acer is shooting for with this phone. We’ve seen budget Android phones before - such as Sprint’s Intercept and Verizon’s WX445 – and this thing looks be crap even compared to those.

Will Acer’s Stream Make A Splash?

Posted by Andrew Huff in Acer, Devices By Manufacturer, Liquid Stream, News

While the name leaves a little to be desired, the Acer Stream was recently approved by the FCC and will soon be on its way into the hands of consumers.

With specs that closely resemble the likes of the Nexus One and the Droid Incredible, the Acer Stream (a.k.a Liquid Stream) boasts some pretty decent hardware and even better, comes with Android 2.1, although hopefully we’ll see Android 2.2 shortly after the release.

While pricing and a specific release date has yet to be announced, some specs are known and one person already has managed to release a video with a hands-on look at Acer’s new phone.
