The Acer Liquid brings with it some impressive hardware specs as well as the Android operating system, freeing you from Windows Mobile, which Acer has been pushing thus far, in their quest for smartphone glory. Our hands-on with the Liquid certainly went down well when it was announced in October and we’ve been putting the phone through its paces once again and we’re impressed by what is on offer here.

The handset has a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, with an impressive 800 x 480 resolution. We can see why it is called the liquid as when the screen is turned off, it’s like peering into an inky pool. Power it up and the display really impresses: it is sharp, bright and the seamless finish across the front of the device is one we like.

Below the screen are the customary four controls you expect with Android – home, search, back and menu – and here they are presented as backlit touch controls, part of the display. If you like to get funky with your phone in the dark, it takes some stabbing around before you find the right key, as they are only illuminated when you touch them.

Best Offer: *Free* with half-price line rental from Carphone Warehouse on T-mobile network.
