Does anyone jump for Acer phones?

I just picked up a nifty little Acer Liquid Z220 from a 7/11 for $85 and it's surprisingly decent for that price. It runs almost as smoothly as my nexus 4. In terms of bloatware, it seems like Acer just threw some random stuff on there like a barcode scanner and a couple Gameloft games. In terms of Acer branded stuff, there's something called "Acer Portal" which tbh, I cba to sign up for but it doesn't look too terribly promising. There's also a launcher called "Quick Mode". Its kind of simple which is good but it lacks any kind of settings as far as I can tell which is obviously very counterintuitive for a launcher. All-in-all, for $80 its not a bad buy. Acer has been long-known for making lower-end products at reduced costs but IMO seems to have been improving on the quality side of things over the past few years.
