So Rogers is bring to market both the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and the Acer "Liquid E" Android phones. I see that there are already separate threads for these two phones, but wanted to post a comparison in one place.
Here's the important info (we don't have pricing yet that I've seen).
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (Avail Q2)
(GSM Arena)
Size: 119.0 x 63.0 x 13.0 mm (4.7 x 2.5 x 0.5 inches)
Weight: 135.0 g (4.8 oz)
Memory: Phone memory 1GB, 384 MB RAM + SanDisk microSD™ up to 16GB, (8GB included)
Camera: 8.1 MP with auto focus, flash, video, and image stabilizer.
Processor: Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon 1 GHz processor
ANDROID VERSION: 1.6 at launch. (SE says the X10's UI is capable of "evolving" to 2.0 over time, whatever that means, but they won't say when or if this will happen for sure on Rogers. They've also said that 2.1 is "beyond" them at the moment).
Acer Liquid E
(GSM Arena)
Size: 115 x 64 1275 mm
Weight: 135 g
Memory: Internal: 256MB RAM, 512MB ROM + microSD up to 32GB (comes with?)
Camera: 5 MP, autofocus, video, (flash unknown)
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8250 768 MHz processor
ANDROID VERSION: 2.1
So, decisions, decisions... They both have the same processor, but the X10's is running faster. The X10 also has a whopping _1GB_ of intrnal memory (that's a lot for an Android phone!) and an 8 MP camera. Howevr, it's Android 1.6, and we don't know when it will be updated.
The Acer on the other has a slightly slower processor, half the internal memory, and only 5 MP camera (plus we don't know yet if it has a flash that i could see), but it comes with Android 2.1.
Given the problems we've had getting updates to our Rogers Android phones, what would be the deciding factor for
you? Faster processor, better camera, and more internal memory... or Android 2.1?
(This is assuming, of course, that neither can br rooted, or that you don't want to root).
