In a few months it's gonna be time for me to upgrade my phone. I was so sick of the xperia x10 w/ all of sony's and AT&T's holdups. Is anyone else thinking of getting the ARC?
I like some of sony's UI features, like the camera. Google's stock camera is disgusting. But I havent used it because I have to run a custom 2.2 rom that it doesnt work with.
I say go for a HTC
Like sensation
It is a beast ...
Or desire s
The nice all in all phone

But Sensation battery life sucks afaik. I'd go for the SGS II as most of the people do at the moment. Only thing is, compared with the Arc, all the other phones (and especially the SGS II and HTC phones) look boring and generic
With GB and custom kernels, my X10 will hopefully stay with me until the next generation of phones is revealed Maybe I'd even go for a MeeGo device, if Android apps are finally supported. Its perfomance and multitasking are really impressive and it'd be a nice change to see something different from Android.
I'm gonna stick with x10 until a beautiful next generation phone comes out. Or I may buy xperia ray, looks great and smaller than arc with pretty much same specs and front camera for video/skype calling.
Sg2 is great, after I tried in shop, but man its ugly.
I may sound a bit old fashioned but I'm getting annoyed with these massive brick phones, smaller for me please

I have a x10 and I ugraded to the atrix dual core 4G. Which is awesome and really fast. The arc is to outdated in hardware specs. But I know the arc has a good camera and has gingerbread.

For me the ARC is a definite no go. If your upgrading on a 2 year contract, then I would say loud and clear "stay as far away from the ARC as you can". In my opinion the arc has the same shelf life as the x10. However, if you have been happy in the main with the x10, then you can go for the beautiful design of the arc over the competency and performance of the other phones (SGS2, Optimus 3d and Sensation).
Personally, I now have a very different view of smartphones to that which I had last year. Then I had the view that they were just cleverer phones but now I know that they are more like mini computers. I wouldn't buy a single core computer for the same price as a dual cored machine because it looked prettier. The same,for me anyways, now applies to smartphones.

exactly...
buying an arc now or soon at the price it is would be cheating yourself in some way imo.
Sure it looks nice, but imagine in 6 months time how dated it will be.
Do yourself a favour and either wait till SE releases something current, or buy something current
no way to get one more SE phone. done with them, i'm heading for SGS2 or LG Optimus 3D in the 2nd half of the year.
SE burned their bridges with me on the x10.
I was always a big SE fan and had nothing but good things to say about them.
But the x10 ruined it for me, so i will have to swap brands for a company that cares about it customers.
If SE had made effort with the X10, i would have bought a newer SE phone but they dropped us in the water.
there is no change in hell i give another 400 Euros for 16m colors,bravia engine and unlocked bootloader, even if i was rich.
If i wanted to buy a new phone i d buy samsung galaxy s2.
NO, Arc is ugly, But might go xperia Neo or Active(underwater video shotting)
Nah it's like buying a Nexus One now, you might as well wait and get something that has a newer lifespan.
There is Q&A section for posting this.
Finally time to buy a new phone. My Xperia X10 has failed so bad. I'll never go with SE again. Which is sad.
Ok, every gets to this now or later, the problem that is getting a new phone.

This is a filtered search of the phones i can get, these are the prices with a contract. My only criteria are: 1GHZ ArmV7 and a WVGA screen. And a not much about ICS (It would be nice) Im getting this in january so I may be able to build up up-to about 200 euros.
Two that look nice are the motorola defy (nice big screen, impress my mates)
or the Xperia ray which is ridiculously cheap for what it is. Im drooling over it knowing i could play all the games i never could, and it is getting ICS and will support chainfire. The downside is the fact the screen is only 3.3 inches, but it means it will have about 300 dpi !!
Thanks for any suggestions
At the moment I would go for the Defy,since from what i saw in it's forum has more roms.This my change however,more people will probably end up buying the ray since it will get ICS and it's cheap,increasing the number of roms.But,like i've said,it's not a sure thing.In the end,you should buy what you like more.
You could buy a Nexus S,240€ in italy or a Galaxy S,(around 220€). Both have ARMv7 processor,HDPI screen,but personally I prefer Nexus S (for NFC,official updates and frontal camera).
well, I would choose one of them - HTC Desire HD or SonyEricsson Xperia Neo.
SE - better camera, frontal camera, better battery.
HTC - a bit better performance, aluminium unibody, Sense UI.

He wants below 200 euro, Desire HD is above his budget and there is no Xperia Neo there.
Btw, get the Xperia ray, since it gets ICS later on.

Sorry, I didn't read carefully.. :/
so yeah, I agree you, Xperia Ray is the best choice.
Thanks to every one here, I've decided to get the Ray. My O1 would have been thrown out the window if it weren't for you guys. If i had the time to press thanks on every thread, i would.

Is LTE live in Singapore ? Because the Hayabusa will most probably have a larger screen and bigger cpu. The cycle will continue once Hayabusa there will be another one that's got better specs round the corner.
You seem to be having doubts about this phone which is why you have two threads about the same thing. If you are doubting yourself as to which phone you should buy, then just wait and dont jump into anything. That said, if you wait 1 month there probably will be a new "Top of the line phone" and then you will be back to square one.
Hi all,
I have a dilemma. The situation is like this:
I can get the Xperia P for 240 Euro (new). Or i can get the Galaxy S2 for 260 Euro (used - not more than 6 months).
I owned an x10 since it was released so i don't change phones much. The same will be with the next one.
Which one would you get if you had this options considering it will be used for a long time (lets say next 3 years).
Thanks for all you inputs

SGS2 is old device. However it has better soc than xperia p, bigger screen size but smaller res, it has card slot and xperia p don't. Screen on xperia p is gorgeous, xperia p is better looking device in my opinion. Cam is allmost the same, both takes full hd videos. If battery life is matter to you buy SGS2, if not xperia p is better choice.

S2 for sure
JB is incoming for S2 as S3 was updated yesterday and development is much better than P
Remember S2 is still a beast!

thanks for the replies
it should be S2 then since it matters a lot to me how long talk time is
i forgot to check that part
why the hell does the "P" have such a small battery?
I raise my vote to S2.

Since you do have it, can it last through the day with moderate usage?

Hey men, no doubt about the xperia P, but check by yourself
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4436&idPhone2=3621
simply the fact that you cant put a sdcard in xperia p is bad
I personally love sony phones, but the 2011s (s, p, u) are soo ugly in my eyes... While samsung builds phones in simple design, finally simplicity is style (in my eyes)....
otherwise is the samsung s2 older, means that there are more users and more progress in developing.
The hardware is not that different, let me end with the software: sonys UI is simple and stylish, I love the xperia s launcher, i dont need timesccape or facebook inside xperia and bravia engine doenst make a big different in my eyes... Touchwiz is too colourful for me
But I would probably just flash a custom Rom (MIUI is very sexy) and so i finally can say that I would choose The Samsung galaxy S2.
Or one of the really new phones in "arc" style (T, J and V), because they are ultimate style (in my eyes)

Hey,
I am using xda-developers now since more than 10 years. Got thousands of answers for bricked XDA`s and other smartphones in the beginning. I own a GSM technology company so I am always getting in touch with the newest and best devices. I were looking for powerful smartphones, but tiny please, that it will fit in my hands and pocket since the first day of the modern smartphone. I used exotic phones like the Neonode N1 who fulfilled my wishes, but I finally felt in love with 2011 Xperia MDPI phones. Since this day, I am using this subforums at XDA daily and changing my ROM on my Mango several times a week.
The Mango is perfect for me! It’s tiny, so it will not bother me if I am outdoors, it fits in my hands and pants, so I can wear it everywhere, without having a 6” brick with me. It haves a full keyboard – I still don’t like Touchscreen solutions for typing dozens of mails per day. And last but not least, it’s still a powerful android smartphone.
At the beginning of this year, I felt the first time, that the time for Xperia 2011 phones is over, since Apps like Facebook getting really hungry for RAM but all you great developer made a step forward again with 4.2.2- unbelievable…
2011 Xperia are out of the market now, to avoid mine is getting broken, so I finally need to change to a boring S4 Galaxy, I bought a lot of Xperias and spare parts now, so I am on the safe side for lifetime
I own now:
1x Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro – custom ICS
1x Sony Ericsson Xperia mini Pro white- full stock ICS
1x Sony Ericsson Xperia mini Pro black- extended CM10
1x Sony Ericsson Xperia mini Pro white- HavenDroid XS CM10.1
1x Sony Ericsson Xperia mini white- JellyVanilla EX3.1 CM10.1
I am telling you this story to say people who are addicted in a same way: you are not alone and to say a big THANKYOU to all of the awesome developers out there…
seems legit! lol, i wish i had money to buy spare phones like you do. and youre a certified Xperia MDPI addict now. :highfive:
U R AWESOME, dude!!
