    I have N8 and ARC now. ARC es very good performance, but battery falls too fast.

    Android launch various applications which constantly exhausted the battery.

    It is not normal to charge twice a day ....

It's the 20 top best phone according to Techradar which is useless because Arc, Desire, Galaxy S cannot stand against the Optimus 2X, HTC Sensation, Galaxy S2 and Moto Atrix. Give us a link of best sell with Arc or any SE phone as number 1. Even in Canada.

                            Anonymous, 23 Apr 2011There are s0 many annoying Samsung Iphone and LG user tryin... moreTrue... and if You have used other brands as I have (being loyal user since 2003 but had other brands previously and sometimes by a secondary phone from another company sometimes just to know how they are doing...) you would appreciate SE quality even more! Great phones!
                            I don't need the Arc, my old K810i is still very fine but the arc is driving me nuts! I know I don't need it, I know I shouldn't buy a phone so expensive but... I WANT IT!
                            Thinking of buying it anyway but still trying to be practical and resist the temptation.

                                I have been using this fone for 3 weeks now and I love it!!! Battery life is surprisingly good. Of course you cannot expect a smartfone to last a day if you keep the default settings on. But my arc lasts more than a day with heavy internet usage. If I keep internet/gps off then the battery last 1 and half to 2 days wich is superb! I would recommend people to keep GPS WiFi 3G EDGE turned off when not in use and see the battery do wonders. keep widgets for each service. also download task killer apps that wud kill any background app u r no longer using. If you follow these steps, any smartfone will last more than a day. I have switched many smartfones and Arc seems to be giving the best battery life of all. Credit goes to Gingerbread power management I suppose.
                                Looks are gr8 but Im a bit skeptical about the muscle of this mobile. the plastic looks cheap and the battery cover finishing is not good as your fingerprints become prominent there.
                                Great display, superb music, superb camera... this fone put a whole in my pocket but it was really worth it. Auto Brightness feature is also enabled in retail version. Plus my set came with a free HDMI cable. Hats off SE... u have created a marvel!

                                      Is there a software program on the android market that could play avi and divx videos for the sonyerricsson arc?
                                      And if there is a program
                                      could it play 720p videos or what?

                                      Thanks in advance
