Video Rating: 4 / 5

Acer announced this good looking Android 1.6 toting handset complete with a 768MHz Snapdragon processor and although it’s a pre-production model, which is why we couldn’t show you much, we did manage to get a bit of hands on time with it.

    @starguard Too bad it got Vaporwared all to hell. And Android is now the #1 selling smartphone OS. :) Not quite!

    I hope they port it to Android it would make a sweet skin on Froyo. :D

    GOOD PHONE BUT THE OS IS WHAT MAKES IT BETTER . IT WOULD MOST LIKELY BE DOWNLOADABLE ONCE THIS PHONE IS OUT FOR A WHILE, SO IM GOING TO STICK WITH MY HTC EVO

    Not at all, in fact I love the “TRON” look and feel of this phone.
    Simply kicks ass.

    @nixisan Hey, it can still be fancy while it’s useful. Why don’t you try develope something yourself?
    It’s not gonna be continued, so this is your chance, if you have the knowledge, that is.
    No offence…

    I’m so fuckin’ want that phone, but what did the Emblaze do?

    Here’s what it says;

    “Emblaze, the company behind it, has announced that it’s dropping any further investment toward the manufacturing of the device and will instead focus on licensing the ELSE Intuition platform and technology”
    WTF!! Screw that!! Licensing my ass!
    Can someone please beat the crap outta those people?

    I guess we never gonna see this device for ourself, unless…
    I would have buyed this, no doubt about that…

    The thing is you have to scroll all the way back to the beginning to exit from a certain menu and go to the previous menu. HUGE minus point. People need to get over all this fancy UI stuff.

    @Xentradi97 there’s gonna be a way to switch it to left hand, but there are permanent buttons on the right, for right handers that won’t move. They wont make one exclusively for left handers.
