Acer Liquid Mini intros four new flavors, each tastes like Gingerbread
Subtle variation is the name of the game with Acer's redesigned Liquid Mini smartphone. Traditionally styled with blue, pink, silver, black and green enclosures, the company is re-introducing the handset with colors named lagoon, cherry, pearl and steel. It's not just the outside that's getting a makeover, either. Inside, users will be treated to Android 2.3 alongside version 4.2 of Acer's customized interface which features widgets on the home screen and a repositioned status bar that's said to no longer interfere with your typing. Finally, the Taiwan company is including a freshly minted SocialJogger 2.0, which combines Flickr, Facebook, Twitter and Plurk -- we hear the last one is popular in the manufacturer's home country. The specs Acer provided suggest its RAM was reduced to 256MB, but other components remain the same -- including a 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor, 5 megapixel camera and DLNA capability. Pricing hasn't been established, though you'll (hopefully) find it for next to nothing on contract. Find a full press release after the break, including this doozy: "Liquidmini the best in fresh, fun and alluring design!"
Yeah, the updated Nokia E90 is real
In case we needed any proof that the revised E90 with flush keys was the real deal, this ought to do it: Cellpassion spotted the so-called E90 v2 strutting its stuff at MWC last week, and yeah, apart from the revised keypad, there's not a heck of a lot to write home about. Nokia apparently says that the revised unit will be in retail channels in the next few weeks, though we suppose that comes as little consolation to existing owners with jacked-up screens where the keys have hit.
