I onl lg optimus 2x:)

Im used to speed:p

This phone sux!!!a friend of mine got.its ui is nice though and luks

Bloody still stuck on 720p,no dual core and no front facing camera...roflmao!!!

[zizomans10]

Fuck the Iphone 4s .. ARC S RULES !!!

[georgeiulian89]

why do you all saying that Arc S is better than Arc? basically,Arc S is an Arc with latest fw and overclocked to 1,4 ghz..update your Arc to the latest firmware,change kernel to an overclockable one,and you'll have an Arc S :D

[azbeto747]

im sooooooooo getting this phone.....

[Tsparkdriver]

which color is better, black or white?

[baevslava]

Хороший смартфон.Сам им пользуюсь уже 4 месяца.Ни каких нареканий.Очень мощный и надежный.

[Pruntmiester]

I am getting one of those for my birthday!! They are really good and I know because my Dad has one. Well........ he actually has a normal xperia arc so I will have a better one. Yes!!!!!

[handilusian]

@SCMusic15 just watch any wp7 review and you can decide which one is better :)

[handilusian]

@SuperVids112 I think 1.4ghz is fast Enough for now. I rarely get a force close notifications in this phone, but I don't know if you let many apps running in background or if the aplication version you used is not compatible with the device.

[MsLacbay]

like my Celfon, SONY XPERIA ARC

[iain33344]

better than htc

[RubenGroeneveld]

@asariitis the arc s. Android is so much Better than Symbian Belle

[asariitis]

should i take nokia n8 or this monster. i want a phone for entertainment

[DarkHistoryX]

I'm not going to lie, thats a damn sexy phone.

[handilusian]

Hey that my phone :-D

[SuperVids112]

@handilusian Hey, I see you have this phone. Is it good, I know all the features, however is it not having a front facing camera a big issue? And finally is the back cover an issue, does it press in and make noise? Please reply it'll help alot!

Thanks!

[handilusian]

@SuperVids112 well not having a front facing camera not a big issue for me, I never use it anyway in my old phone :) but in ICS maybe you can't use face unlock feature because no front camera. (i dont know if it can use the main camera or not)

and yes the back cover is make little noise if you press it.

[SuperVids112]

@handilusian Oh okay, thanks for the reply, that helped! Final question, is it having a 1.4 GHz fast enough for the phone, because it is a pretty big phone with many features, I have an old Xperia phone and it just sometimes force-closes everything and I have no choice but to restart it, it is really annoying.

Once again thanks very much!

[remsdh]

Hi all

I'm going to buy my first phone with a touch screen and was wondering which one would be best for me. Iphone is way to expensive for me, I got good deal for Lumia 800 but somebody said it will be better for me to get something running on adnroid. What do you think, what would you recommend for me?

[crahs8]

@remsdh what phone are you looking for? A big one? A small one? A cutting edge one? A good looking one?

[remsdh]

@crahs8 I have no idea :P I have never used phones with touch screen... I think it should be good looking with a lot of fun applications.. hey just got good deal for Iphone 4S 16GB do you think it worth it? I heard that its often crashing/freezing.

[guitarmaniactm]

Is the 1.4ghz processor fast enough for the phone?

[sameq1337]

@guitarmaniactm Of course

[lakibrain]

Does it come with a stylus?

[PorscheLover87]

How can it be that cheap and have great specs?

[cutieygirlxoxo]

ur hands are shaking at 01:40

[tatsuki1000]

140% than arc...

[Syahmi246]

The colour doesnt degrade when you tilt it. i think its just your screen protecter. mine doesnt even degrade until its near 80-90 degrees

[AlexBurnout1]

Best phone so far!

[LilliamWall]

@pimpninja1985

Thanks I got the phone now and battery life is good and the phone is amazing!!!

[facebooker2737]

I saw someone's phone number

[abi2478]

iPHONE 4S??? *spit*

[laysongbird]

The chrome on this phone is like in xperia x10 that will fade easily?...

[granttamiadinata]

Nice phone

[LilliamWall]

@NewportCraig thanks alot

[NewportCraig]

@LilliamWall Juice Defender is good for getting the most out of your battery. I've had this phone for a few weeks though and have been impressed with the battery life, especially compared with my old iPhone 3GS.

[LilliamWall]

I am getting this phone on saturday but ive heard that the battery life is bad can anyone tell me if there is an app that can help me thx

[pimpninja1985]

@LilliamWall Hey man My wife has this phone while I have the Iphone and I can tell you that the battery on this is the same as any other advanced smartphone. If she uses the internet, she has to charge it every night. If she does not use the internet, then every third day. Same goes for my Iphone or any other smarthphone.

[CokeandBacon]

Getting this phone tomorrow can't wait, most money spent of phone for me but totally worth it.

[SuperVids112]

@CokeandBacon Hey, you've got the phone? Well is it not having a front facing camera a big issue, and is 1.4 GHz fast enough, or is the phone still slow at times like the X8?

[astitvanigam]

(inth end n in d beginning..) y r u after "TimeScape UI"..u forgot to even tell the Specs of fone...

[astitvanigam]

dude...if u hav seen other PhoneArena Videos..n u hav observed dat d CONTACTS r always same..den dis time u r gonna get PISSED OFF!!!

[astitvanigam]

[juliussandiego]

[supertank215]

This phone died before out even came out and I like Sony out should have a front facing camera smh

[Orlyowl8]

@supertank215 Because you always use a Front face camera. Never used mine.

[MineHanter]

[Radikalismic]

[19fonzy]

Xperia S FTW

[Specnaz97]

You are from Bulgaria, aren't you? Greetings from Sofia! :D

[TheMagical9]

What about battery life?

[ukmitch86]

That metal strip on the outside edges - is it just painted plastic that'll just rub away in a couple of months?

[rahulgosh1]

@ukmitch86 - no it is proper chrome wont rub off

[RaulTheRainbow]

can you get rid of the timescape thing or whatever?, i don't like it...

[xXxAssassino29]

@RaulTheRainbow Yes you can. You can customize the main 5 pages however you like.

[kawpodnumber8]

Sony Ericson is the best mobile phone brand due to its design and performance,and Sony is the god of electronic machines. Who agree like my post...

[SuperfictionCOLD]

I thought that you were singing in 1:28 hahahahaha.

[DiegoElect]

xperia arc s is the best

[MegaCoomans]

@WeArePainEmpire the s2 is dualcore so better in multiask, but the arc s has a slightly better processor so a little bit faster.

The arc s has more pixels, and the s2 has an amoled plus display, so not to much diffrence.

[DiegoElect]

the atrix is the shit

[kenakaren]

This phone is not that good looking in real life.

[kenakaren]

The only bad thing about this phone is the viewing angle my sister have it.

[vgdominator]

The Matrix Contacts Anyone?? lol

[MrDaniel2097]

This phone have a front camera?

[TheOlenscase]

@MrDaniel2097 no it doesn't

[saripdolbaik]

You are Daniel and you are PhoneArena! Luv your english accent. hahaha. Greeting from Mars!

[LivexLifexLaughing]

@saripdolbaik That is not an english accent

[saripdolbaik]

@LivexLifexLaughing what i meant is, his english accent.His accent when speaks english. haha. i'm so sorry for my bad english, at Mars there are no english teacher.. hmmm...

[ImALefty08]

Wtf? Except for the dual-core processor Arc S will eat your galaxy crap.

[Nelloz95]

Just got this phone yesterday.. up to now everything works perfectly.. only doubt: will the home, back and menu buttons get ruined sfter some time? They seem too soft and very delicate

[ellieisfit15]

Go to 1:09 his accent changes !!

[McF17B]

Please respond; should I buy the Arc S or Arc? Because I do want fast Internet, but if it isn't much of a difference I think I will buy the regular Arc...

[FilimStar]

@McF17B if u get the arc for good deal, then get the arc, the difference is not that much...

[McF17B]

@FilimStar I can get Arc S for €350 and the Arc for €300, I really don't know which to buy!

[cardude1992]

@McF17B than get the arc s the processor is slightly faster and also you get the bragging rights for having the flagship sony ericsson phone lol

[MegaCoomans]

@McF17B it isnt that much of a diffrence



[inyourlittlemind]

I DONT TEXT WITH MY PHONE AT 45 DEGREES ;) I LIKE TO TEXT THE NORMAL WAY

[holyheavens12falling]

[amorapak21]

[MiniSaad]

@amorapak21 i7 is for computers and laptops

[kfki]

[danielholgaard]

Why can't no-one at Phone Arena speak proper english?

[RagingTeaBaggins]

[AsianTrol1]

Your hands BIG!!!!

Makes the phone looks smaller than real life.!

[nig3r]

@AsianTrol1 I think your hand is SMALL :P

[AlexBurnout1]

Who is looking for themes go at 3:55

[Lintassimilator]

It's not a snapdragon, and it's not overclocked. It's a scorpio.

[Evilhen88]

I'm new to smart phones so can I set this up with my home router and use it's unlimited internet or would it still be taken off my contract allowence?

[spartan99947]

@Evilhen88 you can,and that goes with any phone that has wi fi enable

[Evilhen88]

@spartan99947 OK thanks

[mcjoz88]

would this phone work on t-mobile's network? would I be able to get t-mobile's 4g like speeds(HSPA+) with this phone if I use it with t-mobile in the USA?

[Alex997Pro]

Im so happy right now! I might get this for christmas!

[cjewelz]

Why is this faget trying to say Galaxy is a step up? Samsung is a budget korean monkey company.

[nov619]

why can they put a fucking front camera??

not again....

all this and no sec. camera

[mousalutfi]

I adore it

[yannfranck24]

A question to AndroidGalxyTech will the Arc be even better with Ics as i would want to get one as the ics seems to change everything on Android and it can defeat the ios5 (applefan)

[MrWANsheckler]

Just bought mine 30 mins ago :D

[maruixing]

It's just so fun to read! XD

[LLamst3R]

GOD ... Your hand Shakes so much !! Cant Concentrate !

[FSXthaBEST]

Can you review Xperia neo V ?

[smakazmi1]

You talk like Dexter (Boy Genius)

[MrBvur]

@smakazmi1 but where is dee dee ??

[ShiteyFilms]

hedarfoota = Apple fanboy

[shoman621]

1.4ghz for single core but the samsung galaxy s2 is dual core and only 1.2ghz

[AndroidGalaxyTech]

I already said the iPhone 4S is clocked at 800 MHz and you ignored it and then said repeated it. Benchmarks have shown that it is under clocked, estimated to be around 800 MHz. People often assume the iPhone 4 is clocked at 1 GHz but that's not the case. Even though the iPhone 4 has TWICE the amount of RAM, the iPad BEATS it in benchmarks. Why? Because the iPhone 4 is under clocked.

[MrFal911]

are you kidding SE no front camera agine ???

[Godfathertheme]

that´s what the original arc should have been...nevertheless i´m going for it :)

[geoffspicer]

daniel ray or arc?

[AptAlpha29]

Maybe I'm only one that's please with poor screen view-angle because no one able poke around my screen during commute session.

[enzo93k]

christiano ronaldo is introducing this mobile!! 

[samboygsm]

yeesss THANKS PHONEAREN i wanted to look at this phone....

[TakerRIP1232]

Did He Say Sexy ??!!!

[MrPokerJesus]

Its noticeably snappier than the previous model! especially scrolling up/down timescape!

[YSKite]

Why is the Matrix always on this phones? does it come preloaded? lol.

[LoseIfyoucan]

Guys. Wait for the xperia duo for the dual core phone. And I hope they will invent arc with dual core. I bet arc with dual core can own all phones because sony arc have the fastest single core phone on the market. Thumbs up and reply!!

[KRASFA]

Which carrier?

[kyokeun]

It seems that there are tons of people who are working for Phone Arena but they're accents are same :P

[i0hate0this0place]

lol sony love the design but get with the dual cores.

[neymarr7]

plastic for the sjasee !

[MultiCOOLman1998]

Sony, Y U NO DUAL-CORE!!!???

[winsaki234]

@MultiCOOLman1998 and 1GB of RAM,too!

[fightnight14]

@MultiCOOLman1998 it no required, They no want more expensive.

[VideoGamesReborn]

@MultiCOOLman1998 'cause it doesnt need it. its fast by itself.
