Acer Liquid E Ferrari Special Edition revs up Android 2.1

Sure, the Acer Liquid E Ferrari Special Edition features the same underclocked 768MHz Snapdragon and Android 2.1 as the original Liquid E that launched in February, but, well, this one comes with a flashy Ferrari F1 Red paint job and matching Elite Bluetooth earpiece. Can't say no to that, can you? You know the rest of the drill: 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen, five megapixel camera with autofocus, geotagging, and adjustable ISO, included 8GB microSD card, and the Acer Sync app that syncs changes across your phone and PC. No word on price or availability, but it certainly looked pretty on the Computex show floor -- we'll let you know if we find out more.

[Thanks, Shreedhan]

Don't manufacturers usually only make a special edition of a product when people actually bought in the first place?
Acer Liquid kinda fell by the wayside by the flurry of much better Moto and HTC Android devices, for good reason too.
Not sure putting a Ferrari sticker is going to cut it for me..

Acer SERIOUSLY need to change their designs. That looks EXACTLY the same as my Acer N50 WM2003SE PPC from 2005.

I wanna go fast!

[bravokiloromeo Posted Jun 1st 2010 4:12PM]

@Snarf101
Yeah, you think they'd at LEAST get 1GHz going and 2.2!

[SolidSnake Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:21PM]

But the red paint adds at least 200 mhz!!

[Firehazel Posted Jun 1st 2010 9:33PM]

@SolidSnake I wonder how much it will cost... That phone is sexy.

[ruby Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:23PM]

I don't want a ferrari logo on my electronics ! Unless I drove one to work but that's not exactly the case here.

[Almo Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:26PM]

Ferrari mobile, Lambo laptop and a Peugeot in the garage, hahaha!

[aeonys Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:50PM]

@Almo
Peugeot are very good cars! Look at all the great people who drive peugeot! Like uh... Ah! Colombo!

[bravokiloromeo Posted Jun 1st 2010 4:13PM]

@Almo
So the question is...what is your desktop?

[Almo Posted Jun 1st 2010 4:27PM]

@bravokiloromeo

Well, it doesn't get more ostentatious than an Alienware desktop, does it?

[forHim247 Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:27PM]

Slap a snapdragon in it and Froyo and this phone might actually be as cool as it looks.

[pastorbob Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:30PM]

@forHim247 but it does have a snapdragon....

[SolidSnake Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:30PM]

@forHim247
It already has a snapdragon (albeit an underclocked one).
Read the article.

[Xman Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:41PM]

@forHim247
I'm wondering why Acer always underclock it's mobile CPUs??

[forHim247 Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:45PM]

@pastorbob Wow, I deserve excessive down-ranking for that one. Have at it guys!

[monkeyman87 Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:30PM]

I bet even Michael Schumacher would not buy one...

[DrScope Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:34PM]

I guess E stand for Eww Ugly...
Why the ACER logo on the back??

[Zpeed7 Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:35PM]

Ahhh, this will go handily with my F430 and Acer Ferrari Notebook... :-)

[Tg Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:36PM]

underclocked ferrariii!!! FAILLL

[chosenone1 Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:42PM]

@Tg LOoooooooL it can go to about 200+ mph but they underclock it to run at the speed limit 55mph. Fail indeed

[Ineptune Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:36PM]

What is with all of these computer manufacturers and 'exotic' cars?!

Ugly.

[iName Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:42PM]

i dont get the ferrari gear. i think its stupid and most of the time it looks ugly.

[Kris91 Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:44PM]

Imagine how much of a douche you will look like if you get one of these and have no Ferrari.

[Almo Posted Jun 1st 2010 4:29PM]

@Kris91

I wear Caterpillar shoes but don't own a Bulldozer. Am I a douche?

[SYGIGH Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:51PM]

wow it match my red pumas, and actually I have the ferrari puma version.

sseeee yyyeeee@@@hhhhh

vvvvrrrrooooommmmmm

lol

[Don Corleone Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:51PM]

Ferraris are great but this is gay unless you actually drive a Ferrari.

[evolutionofnonsens Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:56PM]

Who buys these things?

[jeff0529 Posted Jun 1st 2010 4:04PM]

@evolutionofnonsens

Posers

[versp Posted Jun 1st 2010 3:58PM]

Nah, I think I'll buy a Vertu instead.

[Evster88 Posted Jun 1st 2010 4:03PM]

Please make a Windows 7 Phone Ferrari edition. I would SO buy it!

[Waltah Posted Jun 1st 2010 4:18PM]

That sure is one red phone.

[DeviantmacG Posted Jun 1st 2010 4:32PM]

The guys who owns a ferrari will NEVER EVER own that kind of phone!

[clovis Posted Jun 1st 2010 4:46PM]

Oh dear. This is what you get when good taste fights new money and loses.

[magallanes Posted Jun 1st 2010 5:11PM]

Remove the logo, add a crest and call it the AZNABLE phone.

[HikaKao Posted Jun 1st 2010 5:57PM]

Pretty nice back, horrible front. At least from this angle.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 1st 2010 6:29PM]

I have a Liquid since last x-mas and still waiting for an official update from Android 1.6 to 2.x.
Now that 2.2 is out I'm not sure I'd be happy enough with an updated 2.1 :(
Why cant brands keep up with a reasonable lag?

[rav97 Posted Jun 1st 2010 6:45PM]

Nothing says Ferrari like an underclocked 768MHz Snapdragon. Hey Acer, my Nexus 1 leaves your Ferrari in the dust!

[rawbros Posted Jun 2nd 2010 4:03PM]

tacky

[kpenning Posted Jun 6th 2010 5:23PM]

WooHoo!! phhusson has released Froyo 2.2 on the Acer Liquid::: http://briefmobile.com/android-2-2-froyo-on-acer-liquid
