CRAP! i was hoping the crack issue would have been solved by now... was thinking of buying the ARC S for my wife....but shes not exactly "gentle" with her phones....shes gets pretty clumsy with them..which is why i bought her the moto defy last time but got stolen  gotta think of possible alternatives now... wish the damn Xperia S would just come out already so i can know the price.

It is a dual core phone n also very arc design alike. And ofcoz if only the pic of it is tru tho. Also if it is real, i hope this tym sony wil use a much better quality plastic/materials for it. I be damm if the crack issue came out again in their future phone. For pic of xperia p/nypon, just google it k, lazy to put it here.

Mine also got crack after 6mths but I don't think it is a big problem because you hardly notice it.

I still haven't heard the crack problem gotten any worst but I agree that buying a product which will have problem is hard to accept.

Btw the lock/power button is quite hard to press since you'll need some mental focus to do it. So I'm using this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.k...bm9mZmxvY2siXQ.. Awesome app and can help reduce wear on the lock/power button plus it's easier this way.
