do you think the price will drop soon given that they're announced Xperia S?

even seller does not recommend arc/arc s because of this heat problem.
for me, that is not big deal.
unless the heat problem is so serious that could melt the inside chip.  shakehead.gif

Heat problem?? That means I should wait for Xperia S and buy that instead of Arc S??
I can't decide which to buy ... =(

My only concern is time and price ... wait until March/April is such a long wait!! I wanted to buy Arc S before CES, then I told myself to wait until the CES show. Now ... argh, I have to wait even longer ...

How to buy phones when new phones keep coming out ?? sad.gif

new phone keep coming out every month...
it can't stop.
if u a gadget freek, i'm sure u will buy a phone then let go to buy newer phone and so on...
but for me a normal user, i juz buy a phone that suit my taste..
after a few year then i will let go my phone to catch latest phone at that time

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 ... sad.gif

argh ...

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 ...

If I wait until Xperia S is released, do you think Xperia Arc S will be cheaper??

I understand. I don't mind about the dual-core or single core. I don't use front facing camera much, but I can't guarantee I won't want that feature in the future.
My needs are - nice, elegant, good camera as I won't buy a compact camera, internet access and fast. That's all.
I still can't decide whether I should:
a) buy arc s now;
b) wait until xperia s is released then decide
b) i. buy xperia s;
b) ii. buy arc s because xperia s is too expensive...

argh ... dilemma!!

FYI, my mobile phone of a few years old can't be used d and I'm currently using a friend's un-used mobile phone. So I do need a new phone some time soon. Just don't know when to buy one ...

That's my worry too .. few years ago I got SE K850i and it had manufacturer problem.
I think after its release, we need to wait a least a month for people to comment and criticise the phone!

Btw, for those who have this phone, can it switch keyboard to foreign languages easily like iPhone? For example, if suddenly I want to type chinese SMS, can it switch keyboard with a click like iPhone?

what materials do they use to build iphone? How come it feels more solid and glassy instead of plasticky?? Is it made of glass?
I wish SE would made it a bit classier ..
