AnonD-5216, 28 Jun 2011No secondary/video camera, Outdated LCD screen (Bravia en... morewhich phone do you use?
how frequently do you use video calling?
how does a gorilla glass display clarity? SE has virtually eliminated any gap between the LCD and the protective glass, this makes viewing the screen better as there is no reflection
also the screen is LED backlit, not just a LCD.
Bravia engine does work, go to a shop, pick up a demo arc and compare imaes with and without using the Bravia engine.
SG S2 has a 1650 mah battery, still has battery isssues. i can make the battery in my arc last a couple of days comfortably (of course if you abuse your phone no battery will be good enough)
would you actually beat up a phone because it has bluetooth 2 and not 3? how much of a loss is that?

    Anonymous, 21 Jun 2011this is my first phone that attracts people attention when ... moreThe Exmor-R sensor in it is use to take pics in low like conditions much better than night mode.its sensor is used in sony DSLR and digital cam and is 2x more sensative than Cmos sensor which takes in more light,good for night shots.It will switch to marco mode when u take close up pics automatically.

      you know ryan sony are far more succesful than samsung. just because samsung have released a dual core smartphone before sony doesnt mean there better. heard of the xperia duo coming out? sony ericssons first dual core coming out soon. that will smash the sgs2 since sony are a lot better. the playstation vita is a quad core so sony ericsson are just waiting for the right time to release there dual core

        m12nur, 22 Jun 2011Hey, guyz m little..confused 4buyin..n8 or xperia arc..wich... moreArc's ram speed is 512MB and N8 is 256MB,ram speed will affect app performance which I think 256MB is too slow for 16GB internal memory and using Symbian OS,Android 2.3 OS most app r free.Arc is very strong in media performance.It can take pics in low light conditions,Bravia engine enchance the picture quality make the colors more vivid and clear.HD video is also at 720p.There is also noise reduction,so the other party could still hear u when u r at noisy places.Is a small hole at the back of the handphone.This is 1 of the best SE phones in the market,the feedback as u can see here r mostly good.

                not having a secondary camera isn't necessarily a hinderance to the device. My N900 has one, but i hardly use it, so it might as well not. As well as the 'bravia engine' being only words, I challenge you to prove that. A phone is a phone, and this one is pretty packed with features.. if you don't like it, don't buy it.. you have options.

                  so,why we need them.go for ios or android.sony java os
                  called A200 is great.every smart phone with smart os has multitask,but A200 os gives u true multitask on java os(which is a alien feature to other).my c510 can run up-to 8 apps without lag and with mod u can do more and more.now this is what sony does.

                          chris , 27 Jun 2011hey db ryan , what does the samsung galaxys have for an os ... moreAnother reason why Sony and SonyEricsson are going broke.

                          Sony is making iphone/ipod docks......as Sony FAILED at making mobile phones !!!
                          Model : RDPXF100IP has a rechargeable battery......
                          Model : XDRDS12Ip has a clock and digital radio....

                          Again Sony proves/shows how desperate it is !!!

                            I knew both SE and Samsung are good brands. You don’t want to teach different between Samsung and SE, because most of people here are intelligent than you.

                            I don’t want to waste my time to reply stupid comments. Because I’m coming to this forum to get/ put knowledge.
