yes, the best rated android phone of all time (by ALL major electronic reviewers) sucks LOL
Better to listen to some random guy and get a phone with an outdated processor, for the same amount of money. Instead of getting an incredible phone, get a mediocre one for the same price!!
Cmon, there is being a fanboy, and then there is just plain being an idiot.
in term of design...i will go for arc....sleek looking...really nice to hold...
if i term of spec take SGS2...if ask me i go for arc....

Arc is outdated now, imagine 6 months from now? If you were going to do that I'd say just stick with your x10 until a phone worth upgrading to comes out. The arc is hardly an upgrade, and costs the same as the sgs2.
Would be a stupid move imo.....

Look what the SGSII lacks Great phone, but some standard functions miss on it. I would say, stick to x10 till quad-core is released with the functions the SGS2 lacks. I really don't care that the phone is soo thin.

You're not mature, get out thanks. Fanboy reviews only tell the positive things, but the phone lacks many standard functionality. It wouldn't be a smart choice to upgrade from a x10 to SGS2, only if you go for the CPU/Screen. But it's a phone, what kind of screen do you want LOL?

Did you read any of the blog comments?
Even the one's SE deleted?
:edit
What seems like an eternity ago, the X10 was announced with a capacitive screen but no support for multitouch and was met with incessant rants from users all demanding the same thing in rather an “Attack Of The Clones”. Sony Ericsson suffered greatly with negative reviews flowing in, not helped by the outdated OS, and it seemed the “Revenge Of The SE-haters” was stronger than ever. However, keen fans were offered “A New Hope” when Sony Ericsson suggested via their blog that the feature would be added in future updates:
“Xperia X10 has a capacitive screen. It does not support multi-touch functionality at launch, but is considered for the future.”
Sumit Malhotra
That hope was soon dashed though as the “Empire Struck Back” when SE stated that the X10 would not be receiving multitouch and lacked support for the feature through both software and hardware limitations:
“I don’t have any technical details around the screen to share, sorry! – However I have now gotten confirmation on the question of multi touch. As said earlier there’s no multitouch in X10 – and I also can confirm that it’s not only related to SW but also to HW.”
Rikard Skogberg
It appeared all hope was lost as without hardware support there was surely no way back but on a remote moon some determined hackers were not about to give up and managed to make rudimentary multitouch gestures work on the X10. SE apparently noticed this and decided, not to be shown up by the community, that they should get in on the act themselves which brings us officially to the “Return Of The Multitouch”!

http://blog.se-nse.net/xperia-x10-to-officially-receive-multitouch-support/
like I said though people were definitely upset but I hardly saw a huge outcry, not like the one there was for support past 2.1 anyhow.
Regardless, if we could even improve this dual touch I would be happy, playing games us brutal when one of the controls either sticks or doesn't respond..
Thanx all 4 the infos.
So as I understood the x10 hardware doesnt support it but isn't it strange that x10 mini pro have it and our x10 with same genre doesn't??

Didn't they just get better dual touch, with some effort we could probably get the same..
Unfortunately I don't know much programing
Even if it's just 2 touches without the jittery jumpy crap.
I will be completely happy with my x10.
:Edit
I just find it odd that the x10 being way more expensive and the x10 mini being cheaper.
Well you get the point.. why would it be weaker?

I don't think that's the real design shown on the net. SE's phones are always revolutionary in design and I certainly do not want an "Arc-head-Neo-butt" phone. But the specs are not just nice, it's incredible. But there's no official announcement so.. :\
Yes I've read the new Arc S but I doubt it's going to be much of an attention anyway. They could have at least increased the RAM or just a little modification but nothing. Anyone could've flashed a custom kernel and get it up to 1.8Ghz on 8255 chips.
those who wanted 1.4 just got an option
im due to upgrade very soon and am not sure which phone to go with i think i wanna stay with sony ericsson but am open to other brands it just needs to be android.
wat are your thoughts

if you are staying SE do not get the arc, the body has been getting cracks for many users due to a bad build...

I'd recommend getting the Samsung Galaxy S2 for sure if you can get it on your carrier which is most now .

But that's the chance you take when your sick of paying loads each month on a contract to get a good phone.
Back to the topic, Samsung's screens are just amazing. I was thinking about getting the S2 a few months back. I just never really was a Samsung person either and the Prime looks great. It's a real hard decision for me on whether to wait or get one now.
Specs look good, but not as groundbreaking as I was expecting from the new "Google phone". I suppose that might be due to the fact that most apps/games will run just fine on current hardware and they haven't really begun to support dual core properly yet. So no point in expanding the hardware when it will price the device out of the market for no real gains.

If these turn out to be real then I'd say with their new policies supporting developers and their bootloader opening and offering these two dual core devices I can't see any reason to not trust SE. Yes at first with x10 they were a pretty poor show but now 2 years on it seems they are back on track. I can't decide if not sd card space is good, would you need more than 32 gb? That really is a whole lot of storage! Only thing is can recovery menu work with no sd card to install files. This is definately a step in the right direction with their latest decisions and polices, good on you SE

Agreed. Like the front facing camera. Also want microSD card option. 32gb might seem a lot now but so did 128mb back in the days. 1080p or even 720p encoding takes a lot of space...then there's the media you put on (shows, movies, music, etc.). It adds up quickly.
