    No radio (from what I can gather) is a killer for me. The price is about €40 cheaper than seems otherwise available on the Irish market.

    Noticed the Acer liquid e3 plus is on the Acer site for £188 and only difference is it has 2gb memory and 16gb storage.

    Extra gig of ram and extra storage might be worth the extra?

    The Acer E700 seems to be a much better spec for not much more on amazon

    Sounds familiar! I have its predecessor, the E2, and it has to be a frontrunner for worst phone ever. It occasionally doesn't wake up, and when I sent it for repair the repair centre kept it for 6 weeks, then sent it back with a broken camera. They didn't even fully fix the issue. Never again Acer, never again...

    I have an E2 duo, and found it to be highly dependable, must be the luck of the draw.

    I also had an e2, rocker button was stuck in after about a month use, sent back to acer, kept phone for ages and sent it back with problem not fixed properly, I'll be avoiding acer aswell for now.

    I'm not into brand loyalty etc, but the quality of Acer's products can be brutal. That's all I'll say.

    Thought I saw a fairly good android phone on gearbest with slightly better specs for the same price.

    The E3 wasn't out last year so can only assume you had an E2

    I purchased an E2 Duo which did require a return to Acer but they cover courier pickup. As it turned out the fault was uneconomical to repair so I was refunded. Despite that I had no hesitation in picking up a new one which has worked faultlessly and IMHO is a good phone for the money. The dual SIM feature is one I find very useful.

    It appears that the iBood version is the lesser if three avaiable versions if the phone and to be honest the 1Gb memory is the biggest weakness.
