Increidble phone, so thin, and everyone loved it when I showed them. Loved the flip open action on the flap, only thing is over time, some would no longer click or the flap became loose.

              To all who say that ericsson is crap or didn't like their cellphones, i would like to say, how much did sony produced cellphones and how much did ericsson back in the days and ofc how much did they separately sell theIr famous cellphones: Ericssons (T10,T18,R380 T36,T65 and famous T68) and Sonys (CMD Z1,CND Z5,CMD J5,CMD J70 & CMD Z7) . I should remaind you all that ericsson produced first of those two cellphone with color display and designe who later on evolve in nowdays unique designe. So pleas stop degradeing Ericsson in this joint venture because you don't have a clue who is responsible till now for succes with designe. In those days sonys cellphones were expensive only for their branding, like today they are in televison and game industry.

                      What is it gonna do design-wise? Cause the design of the phones is awesome, hope it will stay that way.

                          its will be hard for Sony to survive cause Ericsson is pioneer in signal transmeters and also they are developer of Bluetooth technology and many other.

                            Well done Sony, Ericsson never want to keep up with the Crappies and LG's, that's why Sony want to buy off, Ericsson want also buy by Sony, they admit.

                                AnonD-27918, 27 Oct 2011So will that mean it will be just Sony hereafter? That means that sony with its huge power can produce a mobile with a quad core CPU like the new PSP
                                I hope We see a huge improve from Sony
                                Long Live Sony

                                      this is disappointing! i love the liquid logo of the sony ericsson, and i lovew sony ericsson itself. i hate it. worst day of my tech life. nothing more to say.

                                        RockyJ, 27 Oct 2011This could be a bigger problem for the Sony Ericsson fans b... moreThey are already overpriced. Arc/Arc S costs near about a dual core phone.
