Canada’s largest wireless carrier has confirmed that they’ll be the first mobile operator in North America to be getting the new Acer Liquid, and the first in Canada to bring an Android 2.1 smartphone (if we disregard the Telus Motorola Milestone that will be getting Android 2.1, soon).

Here’s some disappointment coming your way. Acer’s plans to hop on to the e-reader bandwagon have been kept in the freezer, at least for now. The reason being said is that Acer would like to learn how feasible its business model would be than go for a product at the moment. It seems like the world’s second largest PC maker thinks that the e-reader market would take a while to evolve and prove itself.
Significant is the fact that the new decision comes much after the PC maker had tested prototypes of what could have been

Acer took MWC rather seriously this year with no fewer than five phone intros to its name spanning the range from Android to Windows Mobile 6.5.3, so we went ahead and put our hands on all of them today. Starting at the bottom of the range, the lowly beTouch E110 is obviously designed to compete head-to-head with the likes of the HTC Tattoo -- in fact, it apes the Tattoo's design pretty closely in some respects. Unlike Acer's higher-end Android phones, the E110 uses a custom skin that seems pretty well-suited for its QVGA resolution, and it's still managing 3.6Mbps
