Acer Liquid Metal Available in the UK in Mid-November for £299

Computer maker Acer has just announced officially a new smartphone running under Google's Android operating system, the already rumored Acer Liquid Metal. The new device comes to the market with an appealing design, complemented by high-end features, while expected to land on shelves in the UK in mid-November.

The smartphone packs a fast processor, which enables it to provide improved performance levels, as well as great connectivity options to all of its users.

According to its maker, the new device is set to land on shelves in the UK in two color flavors, silver and brown, and should sport a SRRP of £299. Only the brown flavor would be released in November, with the silver model expected to land in December.

“Designed for all those who live a modern, dynamic, and fully integrated lifestyle, this is the perfect tool to meet the growing need to be connected anytime and anywhere. Thanks to extremely quick web surfing and an incomparable use of multimedia contents, these dreams become reality,” the company states.

The specifications list of the new mobile phone includes a Qualcomm 7230 800 MHz processor, complemented by a 3.6-inch touchscreen display, and Google's Android 2.2 Froyo operating system to power the hardware.

Other specs of the new device include HSDPA 14.4Mbps connectivity options, along with Wi-Fi n, Bluetooth, GPS receiver, or a 5MP photo snapper on the back with LED flash, image stabilizer, auto focus, and HD 720p video recording capabilities (30fps).

Liquid Metal also includes an intuitive interface, as well as software developed by Acer:

- Breeze, the new Acer user interface was developed to manage applications even more easily. Information is visible even when the screen is locked; view the application history and quickly start up your most used applications; customize your homescreen as you like it and re-arrange the way you access your favorite applications according to your own specific needs
- Acer SocialJogger Application aggregates your Facebook and Twitter feeds, allowing you to surf through the updates with the trackwheel, receive updates directly through the dedicated widget on the homescreen, and comment or share directly from the user-friendly interface.

The new mobile phone sports DLNA/UPnP technology, offering users the possibility to share multimedia content from their handset with PC, TV or game console.

Some other specs of the new device include Dolby Surround technology, with EQ profiles and Dynamic Bass Boost, as well as a curvy design that should offer the perfect grip.

The same as other Acer Liquid devices, the new Android smartphone includes LED signals to notify users on missed calls, incoming messages, or the need to change the battery.

“The materials selected, like the stainless steel of the battery cover, are solid and resistant and the chrome trims give a sense of high quality for extreme tactile and visual pleasure,” the company stated.
