How good is the screen on this thing? Seen it once during video playback and its quite ok. Read that the bravia engine thingy only works when viewing pictures and videos?

Im spoilt by the goodness of super AMOLED sad.gif

Super AMOLED more vibrant thats all IMO. The Arc's screen is pretty decent. I'd say it's pretty good. I ditched my iPhone 4 for this. It'd better be tongue.gif
Haha, vibrant colours is important. Since we are using the phone throughout most of the day, staring at a washout, plain and lifeless screen is quite unsatisfying. Arc's viewing angle also seems to be a problem huh? sweat.gif

When playing games that requires you to rotate you screen alot at different angles, putting the phone on the table and viewing it from an angle, having a bunch of people watching the phone for videos etc etc etc. Its weird to see the screen have such property when sony makes good screens for tv's.

I'll reserve my thoughts till actually get the phone. biggrin.gif

have u rooted ur phone? superuser is useless without root..

ppl claimed the update wont wipe ur data.. im on unlocked bootloader n i cant update with seus or pc companion, so i cant confirm u on tht..

superuser seems to be working fine for me without root. Just installed it to try it out. Going to download gingerbreak later. BTW any one tried to lock back your bootloader? Did it work? Cause if unlock and need to send for warranty, its better to lock back the bootloader right?

my experiance from desire hd to arc
camera is better for sure, even without dolby or srs, sound output from the speaker is better also, loud but not thin
built quality, well salute htc, nothing comes near them, arc is abit plastic
but yes arc do lag some times, a cleaning is need from time to time

love the way this thing feels on my hand and is so light in my pocket!

lcd wise, the zero gap between the glass and lcd really help, and i believe in youtube there is a screen comparison between htc sensation with its high resolution yet to me it is not as nice arc
btw, did you try reading both under the sun? im quite surprise by arc coming from desire hd

interface wise, i nvr think i need to do anything abt the arc, theme and all looks nice to me!

all i can wish for now is some 1 mod the rom.....make it lighter
*
HTC sure owns in terms of build quality. I have to agree that HTC loudspeaker is crappy, sharp and thin. I like the way the phone feels in my hand too. Just that i dislike the buttons to be too low at the bottom of the phone.

Anybody notice the screen have some sort of dots that fills the entire screen running vertically and horizontally? Whats that for? Bravia engine tech?

Screen wise desire hd uses only LCD which is useless in the sun, you should try Super AMOLED in the sun brows.gif Though arc fair quite well in bright sun too.

The interface seems like a launcher i have used before, forgot the name already. Interface lags from time to time. Probably due to the graphics chip.

the dots are most probably the 1st screen protector that is installed on the Arc by default

I see. Looks like honeycomb pattern. Quite cool.

Desire HD uses lcd screen only.

Anybody experience random reboot on 2.3.3? Sometimes will hang during exiting power hungry games.

Not original with arc, original is class 2 only. I changed to 16gb class 4. I dont like dna because failure rate very high, though its very cheap.
