One thought on “Acer Liquid Express for T-Mobile UK and Orange UK”
I got an Acer Liquid Express on the £10.21 deal from T-Mobile. First impressions are:
1] Abysmal battery life. I have to charge it up twice a day!
2] Google maps only seems to work accurately when I connect via Wi-Fi on my home network. Otherwise it’s only accurate to 600 metres at best [set to 3G only]. If I set the phone to select 2G /3G automatically the Maps accuracy drops to 900 metres. Even my old Samsung Tocco Lite could manage 600 matres accuracy on 2G only.
Other than that it’s a pretty spiffy phone. The deal and price point is good for me. My favourite apps are Google Sky Map and SkEye which are both amazingly accurate and informative for identifying the stars, planets and constellations in the night sky. Just point it up into the sk and it’ll tell you what you’re looking at.
The battery life and GPS / Maps issue are real showstoppers though.
