Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc ROCKS !!!

I must admit that after more than a decade of being loyal to Nokia and a few years with HTC, using "almost" all top of the range smartphones, I can say without hesitation that the the Sony Ericsson arc is undoubtedly "The Best" in the market at the time I write this. For how long will this be true is to be seen. I am secretly hoping that the Sony Ericsson Duo will steal the show once it is launched. SE has lured me into their camp with this winner phone.

Beauty, Style, Elegance, Performance, Reliability all forged into a smartphone so amazing that you have to salute the designers.

Sure it does not have a front facing camera, but this doesn't bother me as I don't do VC much. As for the single core cpu, it does a pretty good job, I've never had a problem with it slowing down or freezing. Of course I manage my APPs and processes with App2SD and ATK so its always blazing fast.

Now one thing which does bother me a little is the inability to access the microSD without removing the battery, but well, this is a small compromise for such a superb phone.

Sure there are some other phones put there which could be better in specs and performance but show me one that is so beautifully crafted ?

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc ROCKS !!!

                shaz, 17 Aug 2011hi people i love my arc but recently i am having problems w... moreHi,
                Is it because your phone is slow as a whole and so is not responding to touch or do you think that it is a problem with the ability to sense the touch?

                I had the same problem but that was because my phone was slow as a whole. When I try to open something, it will not respond immediately, but after some 10 seconds, it would open up the app I was trying to open. If you think you have the same issue, here is what I did:

                1. I turned off auto sync. I turn it on only when I sleep and when I wake up I turn it off, let it do all the syncing while I am asleep.
                2. I uninstalled Mozilla(having it simply installed on my phone itself made my phone very slow even if it is not running-don't know why).
                3. I had 6558 sms messages in my phone. I downloaded SMS Backup and Restore for free from the market. Backed up all the messages to an excel file and deleted all the messages.
                4. Some apps can be moved to memory card. Move all such apps to memory card and keep phone memory free as much as possible.

                Now the phone is fast as before.

                      [deleted post]Hi,

                      It is not Gorilla Glass. And regarding the Compass, it is inbuilt in the phone. You can experience it when you use Google maps. There is a pointer on the map that symbolises you on the map and it points to the direction the mobile is facing. If you turn the phone, the pointer also turns on the map. This is done by the help of the digital compass inbuilt in the phone. Also, you can use various compass apps downloadable for free from the market.

                                    i have been using ARC from a month, and its actually great fun, superb phone. But i need to know where is DIGITAL COMPASS i couldn't find any in it but its shown in the specifications. Another query is regarding its screen, is it gorilla glass or what???

You mean, battery life, no... I can make my Arc last for cca 7 hours with heavy/constant usage, which is a no-wonder since there's that big screen and all ._. And with screen and data off it can last for a bit more than a month (yes, a month), but that's probably due to having a custom kernel with some tweaked things.

                                      You can always download a calculator from the market, you know... you don't have to use that one.
