Guys, I won a contest from Rogers for a free Android phone, I have to choose between the Arc and Play. Which one do you guys recommend?
Choose arc and give me your x10 hehe.

if you already have the X10, then you should go for the play
wow congrats that is awesome!!
Definitely arc, play has a horrid screen and I think the novelty would wear off quickly
And don't forget that the strips that slide the keypad out wears out fast.
If you get a play you are risking some mechanical damage since the strips are the weak spots of the phone =/
+1 for the Arc =D, hopefully they already have CWM and CM7 working lol
So 3 Arc's vs 1 Play
Hmm.. well I;m still waiting for them to email me so it will be official, but thanks guys. I'm considering selling the Arc and using it to buy SGS 2

hahaha good call on that one!!
sgs2 is a freakin' powerhouse
I like the play.. the line up of games looks good.
I have not seen the screen, but i really love the controls.
I am a psp fan.. but i would rather get a psp2 for that.
I would prefer a device with the Dual Core Tegra Chipset with the play's Dual Analog Touch Pads.
So my vote is on nothing right now.
Haha, yeah I wish they were dual core, but its a FREE phone lol. So which one do you think I should get?

Nice decison... the SGS2 is a beast of a phone!
Choose between the arc and play, get whichever one is more expensive so that you can sell it for more.
If they are the same price, go with the arc. Its a beauty.

check on ebay how prices are handled for both phones so you can see which one would be more profitable for you!

If you try to game with it you will be sorry. Remember why you got a play in the first place.

It's a good trade. The Play is made for gaming junkies. I am one of them, and I actually traded in my Galaxy S, which betters this phone in certain areas. To each their own. I know I've played more games in the few weeks with the play than I did in the 9 months with my Galaxy S, so I'm happy.
About development... good things come to those who wait

The price difference is only about £50-£70 in the UK, I would jump at that, I'd trade my play for it!
Well looking at the amount of games coming out for this phone id rather keep it nway my parents said no :/ (im 15 )
I finished 2 games in 2 weeks bia 2 nova 2 and im midway with asphalt and rainbow 6 which has just come out so im a.game junkie and I like this phone....

the good old days
you know what, definitely go for the IS.
i currently own both phones the IS & the play.
the IS is by far a more stable & enjoyable phone.
if the play actually lived up to its capabilities, it would have been good.
too many glitches & issues. starts to get irritating after a while
Just dont unlock your bootloader like that guy did and you wont have his problems. My play is trouble and issue free. Owned it since the day rogers released.

I don't think we can judge yet. The pictures only show the screen. You don't see the whole profile of the phone. So, I would not jump to conclusions yet.

well, since i'm not getting a new phone before 2013, this should be just nice to see what comes next
hoping that 2013 flagship phone will come at least with a quadcore processor, more RAM, flash memory(I REALLY DISLIKE memory cards), more communication between other sony products such as TV, Tablet, VAIO, PS3, HomeTheater and even with the CarNav they sell would be nice (like tethering a-gps signal to the unit, etc) for the camera sincerly I dont mind, the actual Arc camera fits just nice to me, but as someone here said, it would be nice if that were placed more at the center, I always have some problems with my finger when I take photos with the Xperia Arc
Hi guys,
The lucky ones who already got SGS3/SGS3 LTE, please share ur feedback, suggest the place where we can find better deals, etc.

Just a little heads up that the phone is slightly curved on the outer rim around the screen so screen protector might not stick nicely around the edge due to the gap cause by the curve.

I'll be staying in Singapore for 6 months, does anyone know if I can get a good deal on this phone through a contract for 6 months (or even paying for a 1 year contract that I wont use half of)?
Would the phone then work with T-mobile when I come back?

Actually it's not idiotic, people love to get new phones and I would like to swap it for a week. But I wouldn't have it for a long time since the screen is way to small. But I wouldn't be mad if I got one. As there is much awesome features in Xperia that I like but Samsung doesn't have. But the feature way I think Samsung is better. But I would definitely like to use Xperia Z due to it wouldn't be boring to get another phone to play around with
Also about customisation they got some themes standard. And I think it's sad that Samsung doesn't have that. I like to customize my phone and change the look. HTC is one of those who actually is one step forward but they got too few themes but it changes even the notifications and pull down bar. Sony just change the icons and menu background. But what can we change from Samsung? We need 3rd party apps to change what we want. It's a bit of a shame.
I can't call it idiotic to swap the note ii to Xperia Z it's all about what you want to do with your phone.
So your comment is idiotic no matter what people will one day be tired of their current device but they maybe not be able to change. I'll wait for note iii or ill change to galaxy mega as its a cool phone/tablet
