But the phone memory only 320mb rite?? Why not 8gb internal???

Ok, here's an easy solution: reduce the Arc's rrp by 500 or so.

the lower price tag will fully justify the fact that the arc is launched after dual-core phones are coming into the market.

It makes sense. I remember when shopping for my laptop, dual-core processors were begining to replace the traditional single-core processors.

As a result, single-core processor laptops, even if brand new, are priced noticeably lower than the dual-core laptops.

Seems to me then it is only logical for SE to price the Arc around 1,500 or so, since they decided to launch the Arc in the era of dual-core phones.

nah, sony dun care bout tht.. they focus more on uxp n the design of the phone itself.. specs can b same as time goes by, but aesthetic design n the uxp is unique..

also, average joe know nuts bout dual core... its not the time yet to hype bout it now..

n one more thing i bought arc, is bcoz they said will officially giving the unlocked bootloader to xperia series (arc,pro,play,neo) in the future.. thts a good move from sony..

u can get arc at the price of 1500, but nid to wait lor, sony always popular with coming up with exp price first..

Maybe Xperia neo going to cost around RM1400-1500? It has almost the same spec as arc but smaller screen size only.

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.

Alright, very nice.

And those phone will be outdated in 2 months time with other phones out there with newer processors, android 3.0 and stuff..

And the one after that, and that one after that..

Your point?

i really think arc will have better 2nd hand value because how many SE high end android are there? compared to samsung galaxy s family alone?
SE fan will hold the Arc highly.

moreover the design is very nice unlike each & every other top range android phone.
The camera is only second to N8
screen not the same as samoled, still better than standard lcd.

having said that, i would still trade in my arc when sgs2 available

but as the trend.... SE new phone usually drop realy fast.... so it will affect ur Second hand value then.

That's my point. So better wait for Samsung galaxy 2 next month. You will regret buying this se arc phone coz u going to trade in this phone also with sgs2. 

after 2 months, if can sell for atleast 1k is good enough for me (ap set)
