Acer Liquid gets the Eclair 2.1 update, no word of Froyo yet

12 July, 2010

When Acer introduced the Liquid e in February with its only update being the new version of the OS we almost lost any hope that the original Liquid will ever be updated. Fortunately, the large PC manufacturer showed that it didn't forget the customers who were willing to risk it with their first attempt at Android smartphone.

Over the last couple of days Acer Liquid owners in Italy, France and Germany (but not UK yet) have been blessed with a system update that turns their Donuts into Eclairs. It would have been an even sweeter deal if there was some frozen yoghurt involved but let's not get greedy.

The question now remains if the Liquid and the Liquid e will be treated to some Android 2.2 love?

The system update is available as a download in the support sections of the regional Acer websites.
