If it got a dual-core processor with a good RAM, I think it would be the best phone at all.

Thanks for this review…not too long or detailed. I wasn’t actually aware of the phone and I run a tips and tricks website, so I will certainly add this phone to the site. Although I do list the Experia which will provide tips that work for the Arc also.

I have had a sony arc for a few weeks now after switching from a Blackberry. I can’t believe that I ever lived without one. I had to install Swype though.

Hi all,
been using Arc for about 2 weeks now, no doubt its the best piece of thechnology from sony and the best ever smart phone.
Pros: excelent clarity, stuning picture, amazing touch response, HD video recording one of my best
Cons: poor i mean realy poor battery life, and heats up within 20 to 30 mins,design is good but way too much slippery(not much ergonomic)
conclusion: its really worth 28K for this piece of technology.

I have the Vivaz and I’m pretty happy with it, but I wouldn’t mind trading it in for a Xperia Arc. The Vivaz doesn’t have Android, which is a drawback, but it is cheap, which the Arc is not.
