So I have decided to upgrade to a new phone but i have a budget of around 300 USD
I was thinking of either the:
Xperia Arc
Optimus 2X
Nexus S
I really like the design of the Xperia Arc but the O2X has much better hardware and the Nexus S has better software support, although the Xperia line up has free Xperia team working on ROMS
If you have any other phone to suggest feel free
Thank you
I'd go for the galaxy s2. Best phone there is. Perfect screen and will get ICS soon

please help me out. I'm with rogers canada they are sending me iphone 4. There is no way ill use or open it cause of previous experience. So I'm gonna sell it for 500. Now if you had to buy any of this phone which you would get? Atrix, sgs2, dhd, or nexus s. DHD already available here and nexus s and atrix coming this month. Sgs2 heard somewhere at&t version will be available. So which you would get?

Coming from a captivate to this IMO is amazing. The gps is really good, it dosent bog down like ever (updating like 10 apps or right after a, boot can get a little laggy but must phones won't even respond during this). Coming from a samoled screen to this....meh trade off the images are more crisp due to higher pixel count but samoled wins in the contrast.
Honestly I think I'd still love this phone if the boot loader wasn't cracked (but it will be). Seeing that you come from an x10i (gf had a x10a with 2.1) I think you'd like the atrix. Hell I love it coming from a 1.4 OCed captivate. Just my .02 hope it helps ya!

the Arc got a better camera. thats it.
If you need a nice and style looking + average spec, you should go Arc. If you need a powerfull, comfortable, long battery android phone, you go for Atrix 4G.

Arc is thin light and plasticy with great camera. Atrix is ok camera better build and much more powerful.
Depends if you really want a great camera exprience or the power and speed of atrix.
I've owned both. The Atrix wins. The Arc is a cheap feeling, fingerprint magnet with a Sony Ericsson UI that is not the default Gingerbread look. It is a slightly improved Xperia X10. I dumped it after one day and went back to an Atrix.
The Arc has a measly single core snapdragon processor, 'nough said.
Yeah but it's very fast. It's faster than the Atrix, though I still prefer the Atrix. Use them before you review them. Please.
I am the recent buyer of a new Xperia Play, and I'm doing my research before getting it here in order to be ready to unlock its bootloaders and root it ASAP (I even know now that you don't need to touch the bootloaders for root, but you know what I mean ). The matter is, the peculiarities of this phone may be a bit hard to understand for people who come from other phones. I think it'd be a good idea to get a feeling about which phones we come from, so to say.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S which I will sell once I have my Xperia.

Sony Ericsson W995 here. Had it for about 18 months then gave it to my Dad. Android noob here
HTC Magic, then i had a ZTE Blade, and then I won my play off expansys, so rather chuffed
ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco). It was my first android phone.
Great phone for the price on pay as you go.
The controls on the Xperia Play beat all other phones though
Touch screen gaming is godam aweful for most games.

The Xperia Play has kinda cornered a market.
All Android phones run the same stuff. But the Xperia Play can control them better.
Unless you want a slimmer phone, or 1080p recording, or 12mp camera. Why buy another Android phone?
The Xperia Play will likely play all Tegra 2 games fairly well. Especially since you will be able to overclock the Play to nearly 2ghz fairly soon.
HD2 amazing phone

Rather than asking this on their forums I thought I would get a more impartial answer here!
My OH is due a new contract, but doesnt like any phone.....apart from my White ARC S.
So, she has said that I can have her new phone if I wish and she has mine.
I've not discounted getting another Arc S, but there are good deals on the Sensation XE and the Samsung S2 White. Given the choice, which of those two phones would you recommend?
Cheers!
Sensation XE takes good picture and it doesn't look I-Phonish It has great GPU Adreno 220 etc. Only down side is you only have 768MB RAM.
Sony.
But if I have to decide I'd buy the HTC.
No one on earth brings me to buy a Samsung.

What ram does the s2 have compared to that?
The arc is a big improvement ram wise than the desire I originally had.
SGS II because it's fast.
Sensation is the same or slower than my Arc.

The S2 exynos is more powerful than XE's snapdragon 3(even through exynos is 1.2 Ghz and Snapdragon 3 is 1.5 Ghz but exynos is faster and better)
S2
-More ram
-7 ICS leaks in a month
-CM9 only video Camera,USB and a few bugs left

Your loss - Samsung have been producing the best hardware of any Android OEM for over a year, no-one gets close.
There's simply no contest between the two, the Galaxy S2 is a vastly superior handset.
The Galaxy S2 is basically a match for anything currently on the market and, screen resolution aside, is even a match for the up-coming Xperia S.
The only Android handsets on the market that are objectively better in any way are the Galaxy Nexus and the Galaxy Note and even then, the subjective nature of such decisions means it's far from a clear choice.
They could have such good device and I won't buy it.
It's just a personal thing.
And I'm happy with my Sony devices.

I would say, go for Samsung. It us better in terms of quality and software service

UPDATE
Well in the end I went for the Galaxy S2 in white. Doesnt look quite as good as the ARCS in white, but boy is it fast!!
I'm more of a reader than an asker, but thanks for all the help that is on the ARC forums that I used.

I know TW doesn't look good but it doesn't even look bad when u use it...
Nothing is more functionality than TW but i really miss Sony UI through...
Sensation xe doesn't even have its own xda forum=0% Development=No CM9
The thing I can't stand about the HTC to turn it off or on you have to reach all the way on top of the phone!

http://bigphonefight.com/htc-desire-hd-vs-sony-ericsson-xperia-arc
(i know its just the Arc not Arc s)
and what about HTC EVO 3D? 1 gb ram, dualcore cpu, big screen and price around 260 euros (at least here in slovakia)
Its expensive I can't pay much more
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
i don't know how much does it cost in your country but it's cheaper than desire hd and arc s here
Really ???!!???
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
yes, it's cheap, most probably because HTC thought that it will be bestseller, but nobody wanted it and HTC had already produced many components and they need to sell it out
well it seems that its not that much expensive
but still looking any other choices although i might get the evo3d
Q: what are things that makes evo 3d undesirable????!!!!
its a great phone!!!!!!!!!!! the greatest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would suggest xperia s ..
Cost 450+- here ..
