Acer Liquid wines and dines with the FCC

acer-a1-fcc

There’s absolutely no guarantee it will find a home with AT&T (or even Bell, Rogers or TELUS, for that matter), but Acer’s Liquid aka A1 has been spotted in an FCC filing complete with 850MHz and 1900MHz bands of HSDPA. Much has been made in the past about the device thanks in part to its Snapdragon processor — unfortunately underclocked to 768MHz — and in recent months rumors that would see it carried by AT&T have been on the uptick. Not speaking directly to the matter, one Acer exec went so far as to say that AT&T and T-Mobile would be foolish to not pursue a strong relationship with the Taiwanese company. As for whether or not such a thing would ever materialize is up for debate, but perhaps this is the first of many regulatory precursors needed for a full-scale smartphone invasion.

    @Vik, I’d holt out a little longer, looks like some good phones are coming this way soon. sprint has great plans, but I always like gsm for the ability to swap phones I use. androids keeps looking more interesting, I just wish manufacturers would start putting large memory like the iPhone, if apple can put a 16gb or 32gb in a phone, why aren’t others? that would make things interesting.

      Agreed swapping out MicroSD cards is a pain in the ass. Especially when companies have been putting them under the battery, or under a battery cover that is a pain to remove.
