 | It really does look like SE has put a lot of work into making sure the arc is a vast improvement on the X10.  It's all looking good so far. |

 | Apperently not. I suppose releases prior honeycomb are only intended for phones while honeycomb and forward will support both phones and tablets.

 | The majority of previews I've read think the screen is good, one of the better ones. Does it really have to be the best to be good enough? I think the differences are so small between the screens that it's more subjective than objective which is the best one. |

 | you will never get your hands on a phone that is the best in every aspect. as with everything else in life, you will have to take the bad with the good  i think the phone looks beautifull, but i already own the x10 and it will be to expensive to buy this one too  but i would really like to have it

 | I dunno why this is confusing everyone. Watch this:

 ...and get an idea of how Honeycomb would the same underlying architecture, but have different UI elements for tablets and phones.

 | The display is brilliant  None of the prototypes have been fully calibrated yet. Some are better than others at this point in time. Or at least, that's what I was told earlier today. 
 Not too happy about the back cover. It's made of glossy plastic and feels a bit cheap. The phone itself, however, is really great
   
 I've got a short video coming soon.

 | The 2.4 is maybe what the 2.1 is to the 2.0

 Yeah, I know what you mean. Some metal parts (e.g. the back cover or the frame) would have made the phone a bit more luxury.

 Its probably because of costing back plastic is cheaper
  but over all it looks good |
