SE Xperia Arc over motorola atrix -
A great 8mpx camera with Sony's award winning Exmor R sensor, led flash, autofocus, smile detection, face detection, image stabilization, video stabilization as compared to poor 5mpx camera of atrix without anything.
Great 4.2 inch LED backlit Reality display with Sony's great Mobile Bravia Engine as compared to poor old gen simple LCD display of atrix.
SE's great customization(timescape /mediapane) as compared to one of the worst motorola customization(motoblur).
Android 2.3 preloaded as compared to old 2.2 in atrix.
Almost double battery life(460hr) as compared to atrix's poor 250 hr standby time.
Extremely slim at 8.7 mm as compared to atrix.
Unique & the sexiest ever design in touchscreen phones as compared to ugly iphone copycat design of atrix.
Body made from premium materials as compared to poor quality body materials of atrix.
Arc will be very soon connected with Sony's Qriocity media on demand service as compared to nothing on atrix.
SE has always been great in sound quality but motorola sucks. Therefore much better sound quality in Arc as compared to atrix.
Motorola atrix has dual core processor but I don't care about it unless I get at least good battery life. Atrix has much better internal memory but it doesn't matter anymore in Arc bcoz we can save apps & games directly to memory card in android 2.3
1080p video playback is possible in atrix but it doesn't create any diff. until we have a screen with comparable resolution.
Atrix has 1GB RAM but it doesn't matter bcoz Arc is giving a ultimately smooth experience with 512 MB RAM(as reported by everyone who has previewed Arc)

                    It looks fantastic, BUT why did they screw up design placing 3.5 mm out on a side of the phone!? That's so un-natural and un-useful position :(

                      Many people are very happy with the new phones of SE, just watch the comments sections and see how many commenter's are in SE news.

                      It's time for Sony to rise and shine again, it's time for them to come back strong like they always were, it's time for them to lead the world technology like they did decades ago.

                      It's time for you to shine baby! Because no one can match your beauty.

                      Sony = make.believe

                        I don't blame you, as this is the best design on planet earth! The X10 was the best looking design and now the arc replaced it. I guess when it comes to beauty no one can beat se, I keep listening to this music and it makes me feel better and shows me that the future is brighter for se. It really feels good when many people give up on something but you keep supporting it, just to discover than you made the right choice!!

                            Yes the sound quality of SE is very clear and pure, even better than nokia! Maybe nokia's speakers are louder, but Sony is way more clear and pure.

                            Also, this phone can run multi tasking very well, it doesn't lag and crushes like nokia, so you can count on that. Welcome to the SE world, a world that has a different taste and gives you a different meaning of technology!

                                    XPERIA Arc is a so nice and ravishing mobile phone, really i like it. I'm interested in Nokia (Specially Nokia Symbian) mobile phones but but i saw XPERIA ARC i like it. I like its features and Specially its designed. Because i use only Nokia Phones so I have a question, i want ask that how is its camera result and also tell its sound. Last thing can i run multitask applications like Nokia.

                                      Shinigami, 10 Jan 2011Its sooo 2010... Glad SE finally caught up to other snapdr... moretegra 2 cant keep up with competition
                                      tegra 2 is 1.5 x faster than snapdragon 8255 but it is hungry of battery power
                                      the next generation dual core snapdragon that will be released in q2 is 3x faster and 5x more energy efficient
                                      SAMSUNG and SE and HTC know this and refuse to use tegra 2 in their phones but LG and MOTO not!
