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

it simply means when you view the screen from side, the colour of the screen will be washed out/changed drastically. This is common weakness in normal LCD monitor using TN panel, it only has 160-170 degrees. AMOLED and IPS panel have very good viewing angles up to 178degrees, almost horizontal

Example:

Dunno about you guys, but I view my phones directly in straight angle, dunno what the fuss is about regarding viewing angle and like abundai said, it gives you privacy which is +1

hurm the camera between arc and iphone 4 which is better ??

Iphone 4 even loses with X10 since camera is not its strong suit in the first place eventhough better than 3gs, so obviously Iphone4 can't even touch Arc doh.gif

What the heck with all this in plus ori warranty even if you get 1.6k AP set it won't be worth it. With the accessories thrown in it is worth more than rm19++ drool.gif

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.

Yeah, it's pretty much crap all marketing gimmick, technology far behind than anything in the market, especially compared to N8 as SGS which explains why it has rave and outstanding reviews everywhere laugh.gif
