              AnonD-367, 07 Apr 2011why sony ericsion why u not put front camera in this phone ... moreApple Inc. as the "True Inventor" of video call camera, use wifi for their face time communication. Therefore 3g is not essential for video calling - or should I say video call is not essential for 3g life?

                AnonD-417, 07 Apr 2011hey to any knowledgeable person out there, here's some few ... moreReplying only to one of your questions you can't honestly say one OS is better than another at power management because to say that you would need to have to phones, with the exact same hardware and only different OS installed and that I know of there isn't such a thing.

                  hey to any knowledgeable person out there, here's some few question I had in my mind that needs your help.

                  *what is ROM and RAM and how it affect the phone ?

                  *there's some comparison about LCD screen and SUPER AMOLED, what is the difference of the both types of screens? is it just the colour and display ? or has it got to do with the sensitivity of the touch as well? what about the burn-in I heard of?

                  *I understand that downloaded apps can be saved in memory card and does not affect the internal memory, but there is some apps that requires the phone's internal memory. so does lagness of the phone affected in this factor? is there possibilities, for example showing sign of lagness with the free internal memory is low ?

                  regarding the battery life,
                  *does LCD or SUPER AMOLED screen affects the battery?

                  *why does android operating system are said to have low battery management ? which operating systems are at best of battery management

                  * what does the CPU functions as? I heard a lot about dual core and single core, what's the difference of dual core and single core? Is it for gaming purposes only or does it improves the smoothness of the phone performance and other aspects as well?


                  I really hope I would receive clear and detailed replies from anyone out there who knows about it, I'm really interested into getting a good phone for myself but I'm not that wealthy to make the wrong choice. it's one chance and I consider all my factors in it.

                  I hope this few questions posted could be a discussion as well for further understanding to the other GSM arena viewers. thanks for taking time reading this post from a confused phone user =)

                        First day experience Arc in my LIFE -
                        Busy customizing Arc as my previous X10...
                        Found a lot of similarity & upgrading of both software & firmware!!!
                        SE does failed everyone on X10, but Arc is the BEST successor ever!!!

                              AnonD-367, 07 Apr 2011Yes u r right that GSMarena is not fully trusted they also ... moreExactly...
                              From a smartphone point of view battery life in N8 is great.
                              Android is already infamous for it's battery life, WP7 is no better than android. Another major smartphone platform left is symbian which is actually much more efficient and provides great battery life.

                                xperia arc's size with Nokia E7 specifications and with external card slot would satisfy my need.

                                      [deleted post]If it was made entirely from Aluminiun then it would be to heavy and you would moan about that. If you drop a plastic phone, the case will either absorb the impact or crack. Repalcing will be cheap, since its plastic. Metal on the other hand dents with any decent impact and is more expensive to replace, repair. Decide now please!!
