Midvalley I don't know. Gardens cannot. I went to Maxis at Gardens yesterday and when I asked that worker about this phone he just looked at me blankly and said "belum lagi". Ask him when will they start selling and the answer is "tak tau".
Imo, it's not really worth it to get it from Maxis lar. Even if you get it at $1,499, fine, how much do you save? $400? $500? But then you need to be bonded to Maxis and their shitty 3GB data plan for 2 years. Unless 3GB of data per month is enough for you (3GB for me frankly, I can use it up in 1 day), else there's no point.
As for the phone itself, like I said, I think it's a brilliant phone - for 2010. It's still a very nice phone, but there really isn't much to go nuts about.
The Bravia screen thing is pretty much just marketing hype. Oh, the screen looks gorgeous, definitely. But then again, so does the Super AMOLEDs. Even the SLCDs are more or less in the same level. At least to my eyes.
As for the camera, yea, pictures and videos look good, and it's probably one of the top cameras around for Android phones. However, I personally feel that it still does not match the N8's camera. Didn't manage to try out the xmor thing though, but I'm not banking too much into it.
Performance wise, it's not much better or worse than the SGS and DHD, which is the main reason why I feel this is a 2010 phone.
The phone does comes with Gingerbread though, so that's something to look forward to. And yes, the phone looks as nice in your hands as it does in pictures of it you seen so far online.
Anyone who bought the phone, please give more in-depth reviews.
not all the buyer are as hardcore as you nor the other cellphone player in lowyat ..
they might get interesting into the platform or game for first 2month .... but back to the end a phone is still a phone for them ..
so for me i think its still the design does the matter .. and branding ..
nothing is up to date in technologies .. even u buy sgs2 after 2month .. it will be outdated after a month or 2 .. who know sony might come out a dual core to fight ?
about the perfomance or dual core or not will only does matter to very small group of people ..
technologies cant wait .. u wait sgs2 now .. 2month later when sgs2 out u hear rumour that sony gonna come out will better spec .. thn wait again ?
so make it short .. sony arc is still 1 of the best phone until now ..
ps : i havent really touch with it until tonight. so i might be wrong. but its just my 2cent
