    Now I have used this handset for more than 6 months, I have something to share:
    Pros:
    > The handset looks very pretty
    > Bravia Engine and xLoud are really awesome features
    > Camera is too good, gives awesome quality crisp n clear pics
    > And all other pros people already know

    Cons:
    > Handset is very slow
    > Handset heats up like anything for below reasons:
    * Use 3G data for some time
    * Playing games like famous Temple Run even for 10-15 mins
    * Especially found this after upgrading to ICS
    > Internal Memory given for handset not adequate at all:
    * 1 GB internal but only 320 MB usable
    * Also only 512 MB of RAM
    * Play some game or open apps like Facebook, browse etc.
    * When we go back to Home screen, icons take too long to load
    * Never felt I am using a 1.4 GHz procesor handset
    * I guess this low memory is culprit for heating and slow handset. Usable internal memory and RAM for this handset should have been at least 1GB to cope up with 1.4GHz processor needs.

    Now I think I should have gone for Samsung Galaxy S2

      For all those are who are confused to upgrade or not to ICS. Go ahead!! update ur fone its awsome. But u have a clean installation not upgrade. My phone got very laggy and slow when I upgraded to ICS but than I repair the phone from Sony PC companion. After that all problems are gone for good :)

                    HELLO freinds i saw that many of Xperia arc s and neo users are facing the battery draining and lag prob. in their handsets , lemme tell you after upgrading your fone to 4.0 it may lag in the beginning , but within a day your fone will become smooth and fast and now about the lack of battery it can also be solved you must know these things
                    1. dont use 3rd party app killer frequently
                    2. dont switch off your phone frequently coz booting eats battery
                    3. if you wanna remove battery please dont remove it directly there you need to switch off ur fone
                    SOLUTION
                    1. let your phone's battery at 0% till it gets switched off .(remember before ur fone gets switched off switch off the wifi,bluetooth and data mobile off and also keep your fones brightness nil and switch off all the apps )
                    2.WITHOuT turning on your phone connect your charger to it and keep it charging on standby (please dont switch on your phone)
                    3. let the battery becomes full ,when it gets full remove charger and switch on your phone
                    4. now use the phone by keeping it on stand by (dont use your phone for playing games music etc.)YOU HAVE TO USE IT ONLY ONCE TILL IT GETS O% BATTERY
                    5. now you will notice a uge change in you r battery backup
                    THANK YOU
