Hi Everyone,

There is already a screen protector apply on your new Xperia ARC, the one in the package is for you future use, it is an additional.

When I got i from Maxis, they apply it for me.

Don't believe me, just look at the edge of your screen, you can see 2 layers. So there's already one applied.

It looks like it right? but unfortunately if you go really check and try to peel off this first layer - even if you try with your hardest fingernail - you cant. I called up SE and they said that it is NOT a SP but an anti-shatter layer that looks like an SP but it has been sealed with the LCD screen - hence you cant consider that as a SP but part of the LCD (that cannot be pealed off).

I know because I spilled superglue on this screen and I tried to remove it (thinking that it is a first layer SP - as you also thought so), but found out that you cant.

Now you know.

Izzit? Coz thr is someone here mentioned they managed to peel off the layer n put better sp.

Give it your best shot

Try to believe. If you managed to, be sure to let us all know... especially me since I would love to get this superglue off this 'SP'

any owner here already update to 2.3.3 global?

Not yet available..

I bought a XPERIA for my brother, it's awesome!

guys, someone from xda forum informed they got 2.3.3 Global ROM notification update through SEUS, can someone confirm it? they didnt wanna update it as there is no root yet available without unlocking the bootloader..

among OTA, PC companion n SEUS, u can receive the update notification faster through SEUS..

i check an hour ago .. still ' Your Phone is Up to Date' ....

well already both Arc V1 and V2 has got lots of positive reviews and that i wont deny. Arc is way better than xperia legacy's previous phones but as compared to Xperia Neo which was released later, it lags behind.

There had been a lot of changes in this Xperia prophecy from Xperia x10 to Xperia Neo as in between there came Xperia x10 Mini, X10 Mini pro, Xperia x10i, Xperia Play, Xperia Arc and then finally came Xperia neo however the interesting thing to note bout these xperia phones is though all being smartphones still they possess an android heart. But i remember previous x8 had updgrade upto 2.1 or 2.2 froyo and i feel that was pretty lame. So its true that it is x10 with 2.3 gingerbread version android OS which inherited it to other smartphones of Xperia legacy following it.

There's a lot of difference between previous SE Xperia phones and this new sony ericsson xperia neo however xperia arc was launched before xperia neo and both have some similarities in internal design while display screen of arc is slightly bigger than neo.

Both the phones have 2.3 Gingerbread Andorid OS. Processor of neo is much advanced than arc and obviously it has got an enhanced video watching and gaming capabilities. Previous version like Xperia Play, Pro, Mini Pro all had 2.3 OS version but they lacked processing speed as compared to new Arc and Neo.

However Xperia Play matches sumwhat to the these new xperia phones as it was considered to be a gaming phone but cant be considered an equivalent. Infact sony ericsson Xperia neo in terms of processor power, camera and cost is much more beneficial than previously launched Arc. And the most important thing to me is its camera having 8MP capability with additional front facing camera thus high quality video capturing and image capturing will be much more pleasurable on neo.

I tot they r using same proc..

Congrats V2.

Me too, checked 1 minute ago. My arc is rooted, do i need unroot for the update?

you check using pc companion?

No need..

checked, still up to date

Yes

Thanks all for reply

yup... neo and arc have a same type of proc & gpu
major different between them is screen size and of course a sexy looking of arc (nobody deny it yet )
performance of neo and arc may differ due screen size which arc gpu need to work more due its large display size...
thats why we may see neo performance slighly better than arc although same spec..

like our desktop graphic card...
same graphic card but performance for monitor size may differ..
we need more powerful GC just to compesate larger display size...

size does matter... right..

yup, agreed to that, and thats why Motorola Atrix benchmarked slower then LG Optimus 2x while both have same Tegra2

jerpelea from xda is taking an interest in making a custom rom for arc
