ooh no wonder .
gonna wait fr xperia s price 1st.

xperia s expected to be sell at RM2000 something..
just like arc s price when it 1st hit malaysian market...

Hi guys, i was wondering do u guys try to play any hd movie on this phone? I mean like 720p video.. Wat format do u use? Is it lagging? Cos i try to watch spartacus on my phone , a mkv format, im using mx video player, but it is lagging n the voice also not sync wit the lips.. Also in mx video, there r hw mode sw mode n swfast mode.. Anyone care to explain wat this mode does?malso i heard if i set on sw or swfast mode, the bravia engine wont do anything like improvin/enhances the video quality n color..is it true.?

Just informative sharing on how to update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 then root with the new zergRush method.

I know, don't flame me, to some of you this may be old news and you all are very advance with flashing custom ROMs etc, but I'm only sharing this to the newbies.

hoho... great job man. i'm sure it is usefull enough for newbie

Thank you thank you. There are other videos out there - that are long and that are talky talky - kwai lou type. Here, I made a Malaysia one - no talk - and 3 mins - specially made for the SHORT ATTENTION spanned Malaysians...

bro, i suggest u make a video about simple way to setup adb/fastboot driver for newbie. that is very essential basic for android..

Ok will consider that. But I think it is NOT really necessary for newbie to install adb/fastboot - in fact, this is only useful for those that want to flash Custom ROM - which also means that they will VOID their warranty because it requires one to unlock Bootloader. (yes I know can relock back too) but still - I think rooting is more commonly asked - mainly bcos people want to Freeze stock apps - since our Arc have so little memory - every little squeeze helps...

That's just me thinking.

Yeah, same here. But the newest phone always suits my taste. That's why I'm always tempted to get a new phone. I wanted to get arc S before this, but now I feel like getting Xperia S. If I wait until March/April, they might be other new phones that suit my taste, then I have to wait a few months more for their release. If this keep going on, I forever no need to change phone ...

argh ...

haha. that is not suit ur taste... but u're chasing ur wants.

what's the latest price for xperia arc s in m'sia?

I bought 1 yesterday at digital mall for 1380. All the shops quoted around 1380 to 1400.

Finally change from Samsung Galaxy S after more than a year. The first thing I noticed is everything is snappier especially apps like Facebook. My old phone Facebook apps takes ages too load and frequently crashes.

I love the bravia engine display. Much more livelier compared to my old phone which is having a good display too.

Didn't wait for Xperia S?
Arc S was around RM 2k in August and now is January, only like 5 months and the price now is RM 1380.
Then if Xperia S, have to wait until March+5 months = July to have the price of Xperia S at RM 1400 ...

But worth to wait ka? After 5 month maybe got new model n more powerfull dy

I was about to buy Xperia Arc S then suddenly I was told there's no front facing camera!! How come?? Aiyo ...

New arc S user reporting!!!

Haha im a new user too. Just bought my Arc S for a week

Welcome

No point waiting. Theres always a better and newer models launch every month. I love the design of Arc and the price is now super reasonable. The only drwabacks are not having a front camera (which I never use) and not dual core (can u really see any did between dual core and single core)
