Some were trying to slate far east manufactuers before glad they have an insight where Se's come from and I also hope they have a lengthy wait

It ain't funny mate,it's serious over in Japan
& i for one feel for them people. But remember that HTC are from Taiwan & Taiwan also gets quakes

I didn't mention a bad word about the people of Japan only to the fools on here previously trying to slate far east manufactuers when the majority of the worlds electronics come from over there.

Hopefully some will have already been sent over here seeming as they are due to come out on the 21st.

Toney, why do you even bother posting here? You just seem to want to wind people up and berate anything SE does, fair enough they've had their major fails but we all know about these. People are generally excited about the Arc but you have nothing positive to say. Do you have nothing better to do, seriously.
Posted by Bonovox
Yes,& his username still has Ericsson in it
Posted by Toney_Ericsson
Am I putting everything down what SE does or do they do that themselves? I was actually thinking about getting an Arc but what I have seen so far is just more rubbish.

Hahaha f**k off my camera and even DHD takes better than that. That video taken with an Arc is complete shit!
I had a Desire HD and the camera is dire and the battery is shocking, so I returned the phone after 10 days.

I got rid of my HD after 2 weeks due to poor camera performance
Posted by Toney_Ericsson
Battery and camera issues are cleared up now. Camera noise was just sharpness being set too high. Battery was a mixture of people having everything updating every 5 minutes and running apps. I use my DHD just the same as my X10 and get the same out of it. There are ROMs to enhance performance overclocking and excellent battery on xda. In particular Revolution HD.
Will be interesting to see how the Arc performs similar internals but less RAM.

I'm wondering whether it will still come out on time? There hasn't been any announcements to say it will be delayed so let's hope not as i am going to order one from Clove soon too once i know for sure that they are coming out on time.

Xperia Mini vs Xperia X10 vs Xperia Arc Qualcomm Adreno Neocore benchmark results.
YouTube
Neocore results
X10: 21.4 fps
Arc: 57.8 fps
Mini: 37.1 fps
The Arc is faster than the X10, but it does not feel three times faster. So these numbers are lying.
I also run the Quadrant benchmark and got similar results there:
Xperia Arc: 1612
Xperia X10: 511
Quadrant results

Interesting and thanks for result
I just wonder that the Arc has retail software unit yet?
Because little brother Neo screw Desire HD up by above 60 FPS result with pre-release software unit.
With same hardware and optimized (I think) with most of importance identical the Arc should gain above 60 FPS as well.

@mizzle not seen you about in a while! Are we going to see a review/preview on se-blog.com?
And quickly to laffen or mizz, is the silver finish pure sexiness? Compared to say X10 in white?
Posted by SKIBBE
Quadrant score is some what missleading? I have gotten 1500 with my x10i on a freash 2.2 rom. And if i install ap2data i will get a few hundred over 2000.
1140 is my current score using a 2.2 rom with all my apps installed
neocore 28.7fps (wolfbreaks's 2.2 rom/current)
Edit, just noticed the date has changed to 03-31 where i was about to pre-order my arc, (from 04-01)

Nah, not on se-blog.com. Pretty much threw that in a dumpster. Somewhere else perhaps!
And yeah, the silver one is pretty sweet. Definitely prefer it over the white X10 in terms of design (and everything else...)

POST camera samples
let us see what can it do. If you have a X10 maybe you can do compare shots. Im very curious because so far i have seen only bad pictures taken with the Arc. I couldn't find 1 good/ great picture. So i'm counting on you 
im bored at work, and have nothing to do so post post post. thank you

Check out the YouTube video to see how quick the Arc is on focusing in dark environments.

maybe i didn't analize it properly, but i see no picture improvement in the Arc. the extra brightness may come from the higher ISO. Any chance to snap some more and even some daylight pictures?

I've been analizing them for some minutes and i noticed that it isn't only ISO related, there is much more noise and less detail in the x10, probably thanks to the exmor R.
Check this out, you will notice the difference between both:

Well Clove are very quick normally to update their site if threre any changes made to release dates.
Had a look on the Clove this morning, and at present it is still showing the 28th March.

It looks like the Exmor-R actually makes a difference in low light?
To those of you that have the Arc now: what's the SAR-value of it?
Posted by norbi_nw
@unknown
I have seen samples like that at the MWC videos. Seems like it can handle light better, but there isnt a major difference at pictures, maybe there is in VR. +that in daylight shots i havent seen any good pictures so far. Maybe the cameraman was always shaking, or fingerprints on the lens, but i havent seen 1 normal photo. I'm not saying it's bad or anything, but it aint great eighter. At least not as great as the hype. More samples plz?
EDIT: and after some more staring at the pictures, i STILL cant find more detail on the Arc shot, only more light and wider image. I still cant read the small letters that are on the books (well not that small), and what i can read on the Arc i can also read on the X10. Maybe the X10 misfocused, but thats about it. If there was a big difference it would pop out, and be obvious, but as long as i have to stare at them and analize at pixel level... well there isnt. Maybe it's this idiot Dell monitor from work, but i really CANT see any difference aside from more light.
Does it have wider angle lens or you took the picture from different positions? Because that can be a factor too. Waiting for some 1:1 identical shots.

Exmor R from what many professional photography experts say on what I read in photography magazines actually creates more noise. Its evident in the Sony WX1 Cyber-shot camera. Even many consumers were unconvinced. Even though I am getting the Neo I am not buying cos I am convinced of Exmor. I had a Sony camera with Exmor once and my newer Samsung camera with no CMOS sensor performed better in lowlight simply cos of its f1.8 bright lens. Its all a gimmick

Arc SAR value: 0.66 W/kg

Both shots have plenty of noise. Laffen how is the flash is it better than x10 flash¿¿

It's a MOBILE cam... it should be enought that it's way faster/can take photos rapidly than the x10. the new Exmor-R does not make the camera worse, but it's not like it will change the world ether. the Camera is GOOD(better then most) for a mobile period!

@laffen what is the call volume like on the Arc compared to x10?? As we all know the x10 was a little quiet in terms of call volume. I just noticed on GSM Arena that all the new Xperia range has the highest daily voting out of all phones on the website

X10 mini=240 x 320 pixels
X10=480x854 pixels
That is 5.3 times more pixels to move, the iPhone 3gs get's higher scores than the iPhone 4 too.

How does the Arc feel in the hand?
