1. Brand - SE Arc or Samsung Galaxy S II
2. Budget - 2k
3. Specs - Proc as fast as possible, dual-core
4. What you need in the phone - Music, internet browsing, camera.

Although Arc doesn't have dual-core, it still included in my wishlist. Both of them using Gingerbread so nothing to be compared except some minor UIs differences. Listening to music most of the time and radio as well taking snapshots for randomness and frequent web browsing. Currently using Satio with SPB Mobile Shell mode.

Take Arc. Worth every penny. Excellent camera and display. Sexy design.
I was thinking of Optimus 2X and when I saw the Arc just love at first sign.
Technology always be outdated soon, so best to get best visually design phone for me.

How's the speaker sound, is it good enough?
My main concern is the listening to music on the go.
I knew beforehand that SGS2 wouldn't price-tagged for 2k.
It's for specific brand model  tongue.gif

Speaker are good and loud. Buy ori and you gret sony bluetooth stereo headset free. All at 2000.

Engadget review pointed out that the BRAVIA display or the EXEMOR camera isn't really as good as it was advertised.

Your previous statements in v1 were really biased. Fanboy? Yes. Your statements speak as if you're a Motorola cybertrooper.
*
I have x10 and Arc. I cam say its major improvement in picture and display quality.
I plan to get SGS2 as well. Lets see how the differences. I believe your only speculating from what Engaged review.
Don't believe there is a better android phone camera rather that the Arc.

Incredible S? 1799? Or should try LG Optimus 2X with dual core.
Desire HD is not bad but old model or the best camera phone with large screen and android 2.3 is Xperia Arc.

if i buy the phone now, i will have to upgrade it to 2.3 myself later on?
if i buy the phone later, will the phone come with 2.3 ??
thanks  icon_rolleyes.gif
the thing im worried when buying acer phone is the community support. i dont see many users and developers around. should it be an issue when it comes to choosing a phone??
another thing is the resale value of acer phones. will it be significantly lower than se phones??
*
The 2.3 update from SE is very simple. Just plug in the cable and install the software then follow the instruction and your done.
No need to worry.

Good advice, will stick to the Desire for a while. Some more my regular phone shop only offer RM600 for my desire

Streak, Galaxy Tab all cannot fit in the pocket
*
Sell in garage sales. Can get higher.
Should consider Arc. Large screen and very slim.

Top up a bit 1040 for SE Xperia X10. Play angry bird and surf smoothly. I am using it now and a very good phone.
Thats the best beside Samsung Galaxy Ace with smaller screen and non flash supported processor. X10 will also have 2.3 update soon.

Why eh bro? Someone selling AP Set Incredible S at 1650.

And the Dell Streak is at 1900 right?

Heh, 5 inch screen or 4 inch screen? biggrin.gif
*
Best advise I can give you is for Android get at leasy 4.2" and above.
So Dell streak is nice but problem a fren face is sometimes to big for the pocket.
Why dont consider Xperia ARC AP at 1750?

Btw, a quick one? in terms of User experience, HTC sense is the best. How about LG and Sony?

Thanks!

Xperia Arc 2.32 Android with Timescape is quite nice.
A well bragging phone and well enough for day to day use.
Optimus 2x is good as dual core but I dont recommend due to 4" screen. Heavy and have some issue with it.

I don't recommend SEX10 as anyone's first Android.  The stock UI is laggy, you need to spend some time and effort to tweak it (root, flash, etc).  For 1st Android phone, I recommend something popular, easily found, has smooth UI, easy to use, good out-of-the-box experience, etc.  HTC phones are the best, but with premium pricing.  The next best is probably Ace.  Acer and Huawei actually provide best bang for the buck, but they're not so popular, so if you have problems, the community might not be able to help.
*
Im using stock rom for X10. no issue and lag for me. And 2.3 is coming it should improve the os performance itself.
If user does not know how to update firmware. Just sent to service center. Simple as that.

i dont really think optimus 2x got issue with 4" screen.. what kind of issue u mean by the way?
*
Screen is too small for me. For Optimus 2x issue please go into the user forum. So far some lagging and yellow tint issue for the phone. Even official Lowyat.net review stated that clearly.

You're using stock ROM for X10 without tweaks and there is no issue and lag?  You must be the lucky one (or have low expectations).  My factory-resetted stock UI was laggy as hell compared to lower-end models like Legend and Ace.  Even the app drawer scrolling lags.  Rooted, JIT-ed, removed crap like Timescape, Mediascape, etc, and it's all good now smile.gif
*
Latest update and stock firmware and not even rooted. Browsing, normal apps, taking pictures and video, music and video playback, quite a lof of games and no issue so far and i used to have 2 x10 original set with 1 month apart. Sold 1 and bought Arc.
