Must say i do like it, seems much faster but after being on my 2nd handset with the x10 and still trying to get it replaced sony's customer service has put me off buying another handset from them, its a shame it does look a nice phone. Not really bothered about the late update nonsense but i'm sure they will improve this after last year
just wondering how much of this new UI on SE apps we will get in the UXP update

I doubt we will see anything from Arc's UXP on our X10. What's more, Arc may be a nice phone, however the support given by Sony for X10 is just pathetic, that's not how you treat your very first Android product. My next "Green Phone" won't be Sony, that's for sure.
Wish you good luck with Arc guys (for those who will decide to buy it)!

First thing i would need is to be able to switch the buttons on the arc. Why in the living H-bomb would they put the back button on the opposite side. OMFG why.
Good video anyways, got to see most of the features. if you can call them features
I would want one, but, no front-facing camera in this day and age makes me kinda sad.
Hmmm. I still have a year on contract with Docomo anyway, by then, the PlayStation phone will be out!
They are still a little behind in the hardware side aswell, its basically the same hardware as the x10, most handets this year will be dual core etc desire HD 700mb ram they have just added more to the x10 to bring it up to 512 which tbh should have been in the first place
There's an Arc forum already, so posting something related to that new phone in the proper forum would be better
may do was really about the possible upgrades for us
You can post this in the new Xperia Arc forum.
I think some of the devs will port the Arc rom to the X10, then we'll have the new things.
I just want the picture and music widgets...
Forget the arc's rom I want pure naked froyo. I don't see how anyone can say no to vanilla froyo.

Im sure the drivers may be able to be used for vanilla 2.3 off the arc for us? maybe

Unlikely. Don't think SE is just going to give it away. This is SE we're talking about... :s

Guys, hello again.
As you know, my X10 was stolen, but Im now moving on and I realize I gotta get a new smartphone, but I can't do it for now, maybe until november
However, with latest news about SE about Android updates and unlocking the bootloader, I definitely decided to get a new Xperia (So no, Im not a SE hater), and Im not interested in Arc but I really like Neo, so if everything goes well I'll get it in the future.
I see most of you guys who are going to update your phones are getting Arc, but I would like to know how many of you will get Neo.
Also, I have two cuestions about it:
I can't find the correct data how much RAM Neo has, some people say it has the same as Arc. Is this true?
And the front camera, what are its real specs?
Edit: Any estimated price? In euros or dollars.
Thanks in advance.
here's the specs of neo and compared to arc..

for me x10 is my last phone (not a hater of s.e)
i do love the design but i need more ram and power..
1 core no way dude...
peace s.e fans haha

I already checked gsmarena before, if you look closer, the info doesn't show Neo's real RAM.
And yes, I also thought a double-cored phone could be awesome, but I've analyzed the situation deeper: remember, that's still experimental (just like the case with the first double-cored computers) and we don't know yet how much reliable is a phone like that. Motorola Atrix sounds very good, but I'd rather to ensure the performance of the phone I'll use everyday. I see double-core phones standarized approximately until Q4 or 2012 (my opinion).
Plus, we should see how good the battery's performance is with a double core processor.
Hi, come on my blog bogdancdumitru.blogspot. com and you will see everything about Neo. I have one prototype from about 3 months.

Dude stop whining please and please be grateful instead. SE at one point said that no more updates are going to be available to X10 but at the end they have still gave us GB.
The reason the Arc runs smoother than the X10 is because the Arc has a better processor, (not sure about the ram) and a more suitable kernel to run GB with. Now stop whining please, the X10 can never be as good as the Arc is now, despite how close the two are in terms of hardware specs.
+1 @ Chris and my X10 runs smooth on WB rom, I wouldn't say it feels laggy at all with it. Forums are supposed to be for true help and collaboration, not whining.
arc is also way better than x10 in games.
hope the bootloader unlocking news from Z brings something BIG
Hey guys, looking for some advice. I bought an arc s about 4 months ago to replace my dying x10i and I've been very happy with it, however it's starting to feel a bit dated and I don't know what would be a good upgrade. I have an excellent sim only contract so would like to buy a handset upfront, but I don't want to spend silly money.
I have installed ics and really like the experience, however the occasional lag is quite annoying. I think I just want a decent handset with more ram really, but I think a galaxy s2 would be equally dated in another 4 months.
I just bought an iPad 3 and really enjoy how nippy it is, I've been considering moving over to iPhone for my next phone..lout would have to wait and see what comes out this fall.
I dunno....maybe I just need to be patient but though I would check I'm not missing some super secret , perfect phone I haven't seen yet! Would. A Sony Xperia P be a good replacement for an arc s? Seems almost the same specs but double the ram... Thoughts?
Well as you are now forever locked into Apple as a single hardware supplier for your tablet, are you prepared to buy separate apps for your phone?
If so, then I would look at the Xperia S... If you aren't, then sell your iPad3, buy a decent Android tablet and a Xperia S.
My brother purchased an iphone4, i asked him if he new he would be restricted with apps, roms and hardware, he said yes its not a problem for him. Hes now wanting to be shot of it, every update destroys his jailbreak and it eats into his time putting it back again. In short he now wishes he hadn't gone down the apple route, although both he and i agree its a nice bit of kit just a bit restricted if you like fiddling and playing with software i guess. Each to their own i suppose. I think his main gripe is with the constant use of i tunes software for his films and movies. I rather like the look of that new hyabusa ? Very much Arc looking but slightly more updated specs, not sure it will be near top of the pops still when its launched here but that's never really bothered me as long as it does what i want it too alls good and rosey. More ram and dual core with a bigger screen will have to see how it sits in the hand. I picked up the SGS II last year and for me it didnt feel good in the hand so left it there i know my arc isnt bleeding edge far from it, butt eh screen is decent and it is comfortable, hope the hyabusa feels the same just hope it doesnt come with too high a price tag.
Well I'm quite happy with the stock ipad experience and quite happy to do the majority of my app purchases for gaming etc on that platform.
For my mobile, I don't play games or watch movies often... It's mostly Facebook, messaging, browsing etc. I know I could make do with a midrange phone for that but I like to be upto date and have a fast user experience. The xperia s feels a little too big when I've used it and I worry it will be the usual Sony affair and not be as fast as it should be with those specs.

Well I don't have an Xperia S, but I have played with a entry level XPeria U, and it's Lightening fast, so much faster than my Xperia ARC S, which seems to be hobbled by too little RAM.
If you are a woman who has no time or need for Android development, who has no idea about hardware and wants something stable, buy your iPhone now and never look back... Android will not satisfy you, Xperia S, NXT whatnot ....

Errr okay, I'm not a woman. Thanks for that sexist comment though. I love tinkering with android and really don't see the point in having an iPad AND an iPhone, it's nice to have the best of both. All I'm concerned about is getting a decent upgrade which will last me.
How can it be that the Xperia U is faster than the S? That's not reassuring...often phones feel nippy when new and nothing installed. Or maybe the S will improve with ICS? I am considering getting an S as I could grab one for around £200

The remark is basically inspired from what I have seen with my wife... She's a technology illiterate and iPhone did the trick for her. She had a decent android phone which basically "never worked right", regardless of updates etc. IPhone is a dumbed down version of android with no possibility to customize, with pretty eye candy, sold at a premium price ... IPad is the big brother... You catch my drift ... I just can't believe you spent money on an iPad ... But that's just me and nothing personal ...

no problems fella. I just spent the last few hours unlocking my bootloader, changing the baseband, flashing a new kernel and loading arconium v2 onto my Arc S. Feeling pretty smug as I haven't done anything more than root a phone before... the phone is truely flying! Should last me another few months now.
Hurrah!

Sorry, typo, missed out the ARC bit..
The Xperia U feels REALLY fast compared to my ARC S
But then it's got a low-res display, so it's less for the GPU to drive, perhaps???? It's also Gingerbread not ICS....

I suggest you to try JJHIBRID ROM. I was about to sell my arc S but when I tried this rom, I decided it will be good for another half a year.

That was down right sexist. Don't judge the whole mankind by one example. I'm a girl and would never sell my soul to the devil (read: Apple). Love Linux (Mint) and Android, and I'm quite an average ROM and kernel flasher.

JJ's Hybrid ROM 3.2 was a fresh new beginning for my S-less arc. I'm not your average rich person who changes phones every 2 weeks, but I wouldn't even think about selling my arc if it wasn't for the super bad quality of the housing (cracks, etc.).

I see more Samsungs and HTCs, with a bit of Sony (Ericsson) here and there. Apple might aim the female buyers, but it's far from being woman's only phone-friend. And I see you're from the States - the weird part of the world full of parents who buy their 4 yo an iCrapper to play with. I've always found US Americans super weird people.

Truth be told I know plenty of guys, in military, flying attack helicopters, and drooling over iphones... Best they could do is jailbreak it and change the toolbar color... Whoop de doo... I played with my wife's 3gs... Simplified crap. I merely have Sony because all I own consumer electronics wise is Sony... Arc is an ok phone. But even with ion they are behind the power curve... If I were you I'd use that arc with their latest GB... Heck come up 250 bucks I can sell you my arc S. They fixed the Crack issue with arc S... Mine is brand new though

Ofcourse I do, I see you've owned only Sony devices. I've had an SGS3 after my x10, and I must say, I liked my x10 overall more than that crappy SGS3. After it I've got my z2, I was relieved from all the problems the SGS3 had. I miss most of the great developers we had working on the x10 in this section, don't you think so too? This section is pretty much 'dead' compared to what the section for the x10 was.
