Pros

Great styling, slim shape and good camera...
Well built, great Dolby Mobile sound, brilliant Nemoplayer, fast streaming, reasonable price.
Acer’s best smarphone yet. Neat U flourishes make vanilla Android sing
Easy to use, unconventional interface, Box full of accessories

Cons

Curiously difficult Android overlayLook and Feel...
Interface takes time to get used to, no camera flash, poor battery life.
Feels like an HTC Desire wannabe. Touchscreen could be more responsive
Mediocre camera quality, Lacks flash, Interface could be more fluid

The Acer Stream is a very good Android option. The list of high end Android smartphones is growing fast and now has about 6-7 phones which can easily compete with the iPhone 4. However, I would recommend the Samsung Galaxy S or the Motorola...

With 15 to choose from right now, Acer is taking a scattergun approach to its Android phone line-up. The Acer Stream is one of the better-equipped, although there’s little here to recommend this me-too handset over competitors from HTC or...

The Stream is Acer’s best phone to date. It has a gorgeous screen, is very easy to use, boasts great sound and video quality and is generally a great all-round device. We can’t help but lament the lack of a flash on the camera, but otherwise...

Acer has pitched its Stream smartphone as a multimedia powerhouse, but it fails to live up to expectations. The Acer Stream is far from a bad smartphone, but given its price it doesn't do enough to be considered a valid alternative to more proven...

Interestingly, the device comes with a micro-HDMI output port, allowing it to be connected to a larger HDTV to display its multimedia content. This is a rare inclusion in a smartphone and, apart from the Nokia N8, which is due to arrive this month,...
