hi ya every one
i'm new here

i would like to seek advice from all the seniors here regarding Arc / Arc S
I have went to phone shops, the salesman recommend me to take Arc instead of Arc because:

1. Arc is cheaper
2. both model functions nearly 90% the same

however, i was not taught bout the features
so I have some questions here, hope you all can help me on this:

1. what is the retail price for each? (need to ask coz afraid to be scam >.<)
2. which one is better/recommended to get? Arc or Arc S?
3. do I have better options than these 2? (not going for iPhone or Samsung...)

please do correct me if this is not the right place to ask so
thank you smile.gif

this is what i afraid .
everytime i buy new things the price will drop a lot
last time buy xbox360 also like that
xperia play also like that 😓
*
mostly electronics stuff price drop very fast
when it was first release the price is very high
and very soon when you come back and check the price again, OMG it drop so much??? shocking.gif

so mostly you guys recommend Arc or Arc S ?
is the additional / new features on Arc S worth it?

The thing is.. I nver expect the price to drop then it drop like a lot.

Example xperia play was rm2100 when 1st launch then price went down till rm1580.. Then i buy it.. Few weeks after that the price went down to rm 1.3k..fuuu..

Now resale value also so low.. I notice this only happen on sony product.. For samsung the price will go down also but not much like se. So does htc,(last time la now dunno) ,

Anyway u should get arc s. more faster.

i never buy any hp during first launch, usually the price is freaking high and when price drops also freaking fast

for the past, all my hp i bought never exceeded 1.1k, but surely those can be outdated model, since I bought them at least 1 year after first launch

and all my hp i use usually last for 2 years, when almost 2 years anniversary the hp sure come out a lot of problem liao... then hv to change new hp again >.<

my current hp is nokia5800, also 2 years anniversary liao, battery starting to gv problem liao...
so now doing survey to buy new hp

well, ori Arc price = ap Arc S price
will consider properly before buy it

oh yea, Arc only has 2 colours while Arc S has 5 colours, does anyone of you know where to see the clear picture of each colour?

I ding buy the phone when 1st laucnh.. I buy after 3-4 months and the price drop drastically so i buy..but dint know it drop more later..

I guess u should just take ap set.. Got 18months warranty.
Thing is sony ericsson warranty just sux... I think not sony but the guy at se snway pyramid centre
He will charge you although the phone is still under warranty. Im sure its that guy who wanna mark up ..

seems like AP set in KL got 18months warranty
me here PG should be 12 months only

and I have checked gnex's sales thread, how come Arc S got Lite and Full package?
actually what accessories were included in the packages?

for what i know is earphone, hdmi cable, charger; what else is 100% confirm included in the package?
8GB microSD too?

rooted is gain the privileged access to ur own phone for purpose of modifying system file to make the phone run faster etc.
by default, u are unable to edit any system file.
but trust me, by rooted, u are actually has the full potential of ur phone..
having a android phone that are not rooted is the same as u hav a non-jailbreak iphone and non-cooked symbian phone.

so rooted means illegal like iphone jailbreak?
