Acer Liquid mt hands-on
The Acer Liquid mt, everybody! Oh come on, don't be such snobs, so what
if it only has an 800MHz CPU, a humble 3.6-inch screen and standard 800 x
480 resolution? It's a pocketable and delightfully rotund little
device, and Acer's added a couple of tweaks that we actually found quite
useful. The biggest is a part of Acer's skin atop Android 2.2, which is
set to be upgraded to Gingerbread "soon," a boilerplate promise with
any device not running Google's latest. The Liquid mt offers multiple
lock screens, allowing you to do things like control media and check
your messaging inbox without having to unlock the phone and enter an
app. It's a pretty sweet implementation, as is the simulated
page-turning unlocking animation. The handset's rear features a 5
megapixel autofocus camera and the stainless backplate that gives it its
name (mt standing for "metal"), but its top is most intriguing -- it
has multiple status lights integrated under the metallic surface, which
light up to give you alerts for things like low battery status or unread
messages. Check out more of this handset in the gallery below.
