          hey guys dont buy this awesome phone. First let the sony ericsson promise that they will give timely android updates , otherwise you will too get hanged up while others were having android HONECOMB. The flagship model xperia x10 hasn't got even Froyo while others are shifting to Gingerbread .! Just like xperia x10 you will also then regret !

                Its an attractive looking phone. Finally SE has scrapped Mediascape, which was terrible. But still it has an outdated LCD screen, which is behind all the competition. Other brands have a form of Amoled or Lg new screen. No video/secondary camera, earpeice on the side(really dum). Sorry SE, a little better than the X10, but still a mile behind the competition.

                Just another shiny, pretty phone from SE to attract users with no tech knowledge.

                Will SE say lifetime support again, like they said with the X10, and then stop all updates after 8 months ?

                In the end, SE will go broke as its obviously all about sales and no support or new technology.

                                        [deleted post]gsmarena said in preview:it’s the real life performance that matter here and the XPERIA Arc feels as smooth as butter. Even at these early stages of its development the handset didn’t treat us to any irritating lags or nasty holdups, which is really promising to say the least
