i've seen in other vid. they somehow become laggy wen scrolling different homescreen. did u experience while using??

[65bits]

@silvercado Surprisingly, I didn't experience any significant lag when scrolling through the widget screen, and that's something I experience in most other Android devices. One thing I noticed in other devices like the Dell Streak is that the widgets need to reload itself when you scroll to it, but it doesn't seem to happen on this phone (pay attention to 07:45 onwards).

How is the battery usage? A SE rep stated that the screen on this device used less power at full brightness than even a Super Amoled.

[65bits]

@metcard I managed to get about a full day's use on a full charge, so it's not too weak. I haven't heard about the using less power part though, but it's possible that that's the case.

I still can't believe the Arc don't have front camera for making video calls.

[Abirxtreme0001]

@silvercado thats because they did the video either with a prototype or the early release,, the new updated version is absolutely lagless 

[MegaDarth12]

ok you shouldnt be dumb enuff to know what button you press in the darck

[DogsWasHere]

Having all the gadgets is fine..Battery life is a high point of importance personally

[mandyroxurworld]

I want this phone......

[badzbadua6]

does it heat up at the cam side or top of the phone?

[srk651]

GUYS ITS BATTERY IS SUPERB AND PHONE FUNCTIONS IS AWESOME....BETTER GO FOR TIS THAN IPHONE AND SAMSUNG

[PheonixTeam]

Two importent questions, If you move the phone to its side does the bottons change so typing is more wide? Also How is the response time? Thumbs up so this could be answered.

[bassguitarsol]

the little lights will help! its only three buttons and so long as you can see the lights in between them someone should know which is which on their own phone

[baconsoap78]

How do you access your app manager with this launcher?

[ILKTY123]

When I watched this video I was listening to the guys voice.

"Definitely Singaporean"

haha looks like i'm right XD

Singaporean's do have an accent huh...

BTW I have this phone, It's not bad and the screen and is BIG but what I don't like about the MIdnight blue/black version is that that back cover gets a lot of finger prints.. but it's good.. quite.

[lakshaythehunk]

is there any prob wid the phone..like slowing down after a few days of using..?

[britalishous]

@miiiikeh i think it comes with the bravia engine just not sure about the sensor exmor

[lqiang2008]

I LOVE THIS PHONE AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEOS. I WAIT THIS PHONE'S PRICE TO DROP ABIT THEN BUY AS NOW ITS QUITE EXP.

[miiiikeh]

@a3HeadedMonkey damn.... :,(

[a3HeadedMonkey]

@miiiikeh no it doesn't

[monkuashu]

great review bro!

[miiiikeh]

@britalishous does the xperia play comes with the bravia engine and the sensor exmor???

[BMhocky17]

So Xperia X10 or Arc? I like the X10's interface layout, especially for Timescape/Mediascape, looks little easier to use too, but the Arc is more updated, has that HDMI port and it looks bangin

[britalishous]

@miiiikeh the neo is a nice phone but the arc is better

[srivasvivaz]

The Arc is an amazing phone! Ive had it for a month now.

[SOULCRACKERS1979]

why would anyone want to buy one of these i remember having x10 customer support was poor at best and when went into the high street kensington store the staff were crap

[Gingerpele37]

@xthomaz1 Power button on top...

[Gingerpele37]

@natfx7 Its a shame, but there isn't a phone that has EVERYTHING yet (Will there every be?) If you want a phone to make video calls, don't get this one..
