im not too sure about the acer android fones, coz theyre not as popular, and their community is much smaller compared to the htc, motorola and samsung comunities..

problem with acer android fones might be the updates and the modding community (but as i said, im not too sure bout that)

but if u want a android fone that is at least 3.5" and at that price.. it would be the motorola milestone.. if u want a newer fone, it would be the milestone xt720 (but its a little more expensive, and not that much of a diff compared to the milestone).. some other fones that fit ur budget, but not the screen size u want is the Legend and the wildfire(both 3.2")

btw, ur budget of 1k+ reaches how far? if it can reach bout 1.8 to 1.9k then u can get the htc desire and samsung galaxy S(8gb ap set about rm1860)..
