    Acer Liquid Metal

    I bought one of these this week, had it delivered on Tuesday.

    First imporessions are for the money very good. Decent quality. I like Gingerbread, certainly a very quick phone. Much faster than my Wildfire Lovely clear bright screen too.

    Very easy to setup and get going. Unlocked aswell, so I'm thinking for rhe money I've gotten a good deal, £129 at expansys.

    Anyway was in the middle of a call with a friend today on it this evening, and for some unklnown reason I can't hear him. I assume it's his iPhone 4, so I hang up and ask him to call back, he does when he has signal only I can't hear him at all. So I then turned on the speaker phone and it then becomes apparant that I can make calls this way.

    I drop my Sim card back in the Wildfire and call him up, and annoyingly as I was hoping it was just netowrk issues and his iPhone I can hear him as clear as bell with it.

    Just to makesure it wasn't a fluke I called another friend on the Wildfire, work flawlessly.

    So I think the new phone, which isn't even 2 days old yet is faulty ! Anyone disagree with me on this ? I really don't want to send it back but have e-mailed asking for a refund as once bitten twice shy.

    Sounds like the speaker responsible for ear-noise transportation (c) Me is boogered. I had this happen on an SE normal phone, send it back.

    Ditto - also on an SE as it happens.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.
