    [deleted post]And so what if it is single core? This not meaning that it is slow! Less CPU=less powerful battery. This phone don't need such a big battery, less CPU=more usage, you can use the phone more time then a Dual Core one. I hope you understand what I mean, and sorry for my english.

If nokia want to continue no.1 they should develop and release it too soon before its too late. Also they should develop an appstore of their own.

              Megalord, 09 Jan 2011Finally something sensible from people who like N8. But you... moreYou are right, and I will talk a general point about this megapixel war. True megapixels are not quality scale, but consumers go for higher numbers without using knowledge and sense and to make that sale, new technology is made with increased numbers and lower numbers usually don't get that same treatment. Only for that reason 8mp will be better than 5mp. not because of megapixels but manufacturing lineup.

              Personally I would gladly take a 3mp with the N8's sensor. Or that technology Arc is using now.

                  I wouldn't paste this url again if I wouldn't read some comments down there questioning (or bad-mouthing) the processor. In this recent video added to that page, Sony rep. tells the different between processor used in X10 and X12 (Arc) alongside couple of other differences like how ARC's HDMI is step up from other used HDMI slots. and so on.

                          [deleted post]Well, in my opinion, Apple sucks as much as Samsung, Sony Erricson, HTC, Nokia, Motorola, LG and the rest of the sub 10,000 USD phone makers.

                          Since most of everyone uses cheap and sucky phones (me included), why is there a need to cross borders and lay waste on the other side? Just because people who do so get further from hell as dictated from the brand they are worshipping?

                            deep space bar, 09 Jan 2011um DLSR is pure camera and huge inter changable lens with ... moreFinally something sensible from people who like N8. But you fail to get what i am driving at.

                            I was practically telling these people that 12MP doesn't make the phone cam any better then one 8MP camera. Its not the Megapixels that count. Its the whole package.

                            Its similar to telling me that you got 10 dollars, therefore you are richer than someone with 9 dollars. But you can be having 10 singaporean dollars while that guy has got 9 US Dollars. Is it even comparable? So i suggest everyone to stop the Megapixel crap. N8 users love to brag about the 12MP. Please put a stop to that.

                            To Nokia worshippers, please leave the SE/Android threads will you? Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo didn't command you guys to spam SE/Android so that you won't end up in hell did he?

                                  Well, Arc have just 1ghz processor but it works so fast and smooth so I don`t care about ghz war some care about.
                                  Arc haven`t suppa-duppa amoled+#%&* screen, but it performs pretty close and even on the GSMArena comparative shots we may see it`s Bravia Engine make photo sharpier then Galaxy and iPhone4.
                                  Arc haven`t 12 or 16mpxl camera but it futures Exmor-R sensor which is good to have and will make the difference in low-light conditions where all phones suffer badly.
                                  Arc run latest Android version and we even saw some prototypes running updates 2.3.1 and 2.4 already months before release.
                                  SE stripped Timescape and made it optional to have faster updates of the OS.
                                  SE adds smart folder creation and multitouch option for mixing widget at one screen that makes 5 home screen unnecessary.
                                  SE adds full HDMI transfer to other device with no lag at all and DNLA both working pretty good according to testers.
                                  SE Arc rumored price will be smaller then the other high-end phones around 530euro.

                                  So after all that all I need to say is that Sony Ericsson Arc`s stunning design is his best strength not because it don`t have any other but because it`s pretty close to best in any other area and stand far ahead from the crowd of boring rounded iPhone copies.
