Good Points
- really big and crisp screen watching video is just pleasure
- widgets let you turn off wi-fi, 3g and gps from the panel which help save battery (standby about 3 days)
- powerful enough to play good 3d games
- as a music player is very good, really good quality
- camera is not so bad specially in bright env. only struggle in darker places (like every one)
- really light comparing to my iphone

Bad Points
- pre-installed software which cannot be removed (facebook and few more) which works in the background and even killing the process does not help as they are restored
- when works win navigation software sometimes reset itself
- earphones jack is on the side of the handset is bad idea

    Summary: A glorious 4.2in screen and great performance - is the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc our new favourite smartphone?

    Conclusion: That leaves the Sony Ericsson Arc in a somewhat difficult position. In most respects it’s a fabulous phone, and it’s reasonably priced, too, from around £25 per month on a two-year contract. It’s quick, has a sumptuous screen, good battery life and a...

    Summary: It may not be among the dual-core, 4G superphones that have raised the bar these days, but even nine months after we learned of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc at CES, its specifications are strong and its in-hand use satisfying.

    Conclusion: The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is a beautiful handset with some great features, but a high price tag and no network optimization leave few reasons to buy this unlocked Android phone.

    Pro : The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc has a slim, gorgeous build, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and 720p HD video capture

    Cons : Several buttons on the Xperia Arc are too small, and the unlocked price would be a prohibitively expense for most. Call quality was mediocre

    Summary: Here's a quick comparison with images, of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc versus the Nokia X7.

    Conclusion: You have to admit the Arc is one sexy little smartphone. The Nokia X7 isnt too bad either, featuring some very unique styling of it's own. Based on design, which one do you like?
