@zub what's your problem dude? a few weeks ago you were saying Play is the phone you've waited for for years and now you don't want to pay for it? Play is a unique device. No other handset on the market has dedicated controls. That's what you're paying for. I think Play will be a big hit and I really don't think £500 is too much to pay for a device that I would use for all my mobile computing, communication AND gaming. I think it's absolutely reasonable for the first and only of it's kind in the market to charge a premium for it. Hell I think £600 wouldn't be too far of a stretch and I don't even like the handset.

There have been a lot of complaints here about the lack of SE dual-core. But I found the following tidbits yesterday and today:
1) Neither Android 2.2 nor 2.3 are optimized for dual core. It's my understanding that the OS kernel plus the Dalvik JVM will only run in the first CPU, regardless of how many processors you have. I guess an app can run in the other. But it really puts in question e.g. LG's 2x which comes with 2.2 and will be upgraded to 2.3. What's the point ? They need to upgrade to 2.4 to get the max benefits of dual core.
2) Look at this benchmark:

The single core Nexus S is just 18% slower than the LG 2x! |

I don't understand anything in this, while am so eager to know what's all this about.
T200 -> T68i -> T610 -> K700i -> P910i -> W800i -> P990i -> M600i -> P1-> E71 -> X1i -> X10 -> Arc S -> XZ |

all this talk about pre order prices is nonense!
are you forgetting what they are, PRE ORDERS. Definitely the possibility of changing multiple times before final market price is confirmed
May the  be with you! |

Let me show you guys a comparison between Tegra 2 /OMAP4 / Exynos and the MSM8255 processor that is used in Xperia Arc/NEo/Play/Pro
1. SunSpider Javascript Benchmark -
OMAP 4 - 20% faster
Exynos - 14% faster
Tegra 2 - 12% faster
2. Rightware Browsermark
OMAP 4 - 32% faster
Exynos - 29% faster
Tegra 2 - 33% faster
3. GL Benchmark 2.0 Egypt
OMAP 4 - 48% faster
Exynos - 1 % slower
Tegra 2 - 36% faster
4. GL Benchmark 2.0 Pro
OMAP 4 - 55% faster
Exynos - 49% faster
Tegra 2 - 51% faster
Mind you this is with pre release firmware in the dual core phones and all except Galaxy S II running Froyo. The difference will only increase with better software.
And the Single core phone I have taken for reference is HTC mytouch 4G which performs better than Arc/Neo/Pro/Play. So compared with the Xperia phones the difference will be greater.
@Indiandawg
Refer the above for the comparison.
And what pmugghc meant was the OS will not benefit greatly with dual core processors, and hence we do not see Android being significantly faster on the dual core devices that have come out so far. Its only applications and games that can utilize the additional core of the CPU and hence the better performance in benchmarks and under heavy multi tasking.

Loving a particular brand/device does not mean you ignore FACTS. my touch 4g has 768mb of RAM compared to 512 mb ram on Xperia phones and is the fastest single core Qualcomm device.
My touch 4g basically has the same hardware as Desire HD and Xperia arc does not perform as well as the DHD. Go check any website out there.
And part of the reason why Arc and company don't perform as well is because software is not as well optimized as HTC's .
