The Almighty FCC has recently approved Acer’s first Android operating smartphone, the Liquid A1. The phone supports 850/1900 MHz HSDPA, which is of course compatible with AT&T’s 3G network. The Acer Liquid A1 comes jam packed with a 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a 5-megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, a 3.5mm jack and a social networking access. Sadly, the handset’s 1Ghz Snapdragon CPU has been underclocked to 768 MHz. Stay tuned for more updates.

The Acer Liquid A1 is now available in the UK market. The company’s first Android smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor with a 3.5-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, Quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Triband (900/1900/2100) HSDPA, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and a 5-megapixel camera. FYI, Acer has decided to underclock it to 768MHz in order to prolong the 1,350mAh battery life span. The Acer Liquid A1 is currently in stock at retailers Expansys and Clove, priced at £339.99 ($556) and £328.99 ($538), respectively.
