the review on the software & performance part.. look kinda promising if compare with other single core ... tis time SE do quite a impressive device..too bad why no dual core sad.gif

Dual core sounds nice doesn't it but what people don't know is that Gingerbread doesn't support dual core operation. It'll be some time before all those features will be unlocked by honeycomb but till then the arc may perform even better that 2x wink.gif

maybe tats why dual core is called to be more future proof.. anyway, arc is more selling for its camera, screen and design.. nod.gif waiting for the feedback from those who attend the preview this afternoon drool.gif

UI is very slick and smooth, no noticeable lag. Build is classy with 2 colors, silver or black like. Will come with hdmi cable and output demo on videos and games impressive.

Imo, the main attraction for this phone is the display engine. From the demo, when the phone is connected to a tv via hdmi cable, the view on the phone screen can b seen on the tv in real time. Heck, we can play angry birds real time on tv drool.gif drool.gif

The arc looks solid enough, doesn't look cheap. I would say most ppl would say it doesn't look plasticky.

Better wait for some user review before buying

From the hands on session just now, some of my personal findings:

- UI is surprisingly smooth, with some slight stutter once in a while, but not often enough to hamper the feel.
- Timescape widget is a little laggy
- HDMI mirroring! Very very little lag between display on phone vs dislay on TV. Video playback is awesome, and plays back on both screens (tv and phone), but has a very slight jerk at times.
- Gallery looks very interesting. Like Xrossmedia bar style
- Display is stunning. Pixels are discrenible of course, but the colours are nice, and not washed out like the Desire HD
- Build quality is solid. Rear cover is just a piece of plastic, but everything fits nicely, and there is no creaking which gives it a cheap feel
- Very light, and deceptively thin
- Buttons have a nice click to it, but the camera two stage button i find it a tad bit hard to press

When free I will upload some sample photos taken with the Xperia Arc vs Iphone 4. Haven't compared them yet on a PC so can't say which is better.

Its just a pity that the Arc does not have:
1) Larger RAM
2) Larger in built storage
3) Front facing camera

But other than that, i think SE might have a good top of the line phone coming out soon. It's definately in my KIV list now, along with the Incredible S, and LG Optimus 2X =D.

Thanks to MobileFest for the opportunity thumbup.gif

base on ur comment, if the price really rm2k..for me i think still a good buy.. but of cos, only rm200 different compare with 2X..its just depend what feature u wan and can u accept the pros and cons.. with the price u pay perhaps.. if arc comes out few months earlier, it will normally sell over rm2.3k maybe.. SE phone's starting price always not cheap...... some more arc is the flagship phone of SE at the moment.. so this time, SE is at least putting some effort and sincerity to their phone's buyers... although it might come a bit late and not in the suitable time.. . rclxms.gif it makes more ppl eagerly waiting for a better phone from SE.. thumbup.gif
