@Indiandawg: can you move it? Are you a moderator?  Just kidding pal.
@mustafabay: I know it doesn't have nfc. What I meant is that this feature hasn't been mentioned here for future  phones.

No, arc doesn't have NFC and frankly it makes me happy. NFC hasn't taken off yet and it looks like its going to be first in the US, which isn't a big market. needs to concentrate on making money so cutting niche features isn't a problem. If NFC gets enough traction they can add it to their H2 flagship with dual core and such, if we can beleive the rumours. And eldar may be totally right about the vivaz2, it beats the specs of the just announced Galaxy Ace which I think will be a competitor.
What does worry me though is rumours of phones with pico projectors and other silly things. I mean Samsung and LG already did them and how well did they do? If they're just doing prototypes to test the stuff fine, but considering it for retail sounds stupid. Maybe if they can double the quarterly sales or something; then maybe it would be ok. But now? I hope for their own sake they keep up the trend of becoming smarter and don't ruin it with a pico projector.
I really don't care what SE has to do for itself. If it's facing loss or profit, it really does not matter to me.
I have always been buying SE smartphones and currently using X10.
Now I feel, there is a big change in innovation of technology and also the consumer knowledge. The pace in today's technology is too fast. I can't sit and wait for SE to catch up anymore. I want my next device to be something where I can use it anywhere. For a fact, I do travel a lot and I can use NFC in Japan. The point is having a smartphone with cutting edge technology. I really don't think am asking too much as I see a lot of good innovative mobile phones from other manufacturers.
Not that SE cannot do it or whatever, I love SE and I really appreciate their quality smartphones and that's the only reason I'm going to wait for SE to come with Dual core + NFC and god knows what comes out next 
I just hope SE delivers it!

January 2011, 27th sounds good because then the surprise at MWC would be the Xperia Neo. Arc is official, Play anounce in january 27th and Duo could be the "hallon". So that would mean that Back2you has right for dualcore 3D and 16mpx, plus the 5.5 inch device. Then I am waiting for mizzle preview of all these sweets phones to chose the one which suit me better.

I have 2 friends that work for SonyEricsson and ST-Ericsson here in Sweden!
First: Gonna play with "Hallon" this weekend 
Second: We talked a little about the U8500 platform he works with and the info was that it's not really optimized yet. They need to lower power consumtion and some other "greek" I could not understand. He also mentioned that Samsung has really put pressure on ST-Ericsson to deliver the U8500 platform for them to use this spring, with launch already in april/may. He also said that the platform will probably not be ready until Q3. Also SonyEricsson is looking to release dual-core phones but not until Q3.
I have to point out that he works for ST-Ericsson and he does not know all the details since it's all a secret but being involved in the development of U8500 gives him some descent know-how!
So according to him there "might" be a dual core from SE based on the U8500 platform in late summer this year.
The best of all this is that his wife works at SonyEricsson and I will have the chance to play around with "Hallon" all weekend, great fun!
All above is from a discussion we had on the phone, it's my interpretation of the phone call...it's NOT facts, but there might be some substance in it!
Will get back with a short summary of how "hallon" feels like this weekend...
Nice info, thanks. Looking forward to the summary  |

You are very lucky !!! Hope you will have fun, and looking forward to your summ'.
But Samsung to have the U8550 wow that's an information,  but I think SE isn't going to use this chip for the maybe Xperia Neo, but for the 5.5inch device. Thx  |

Why does SE have to use U8500 when OMAP 4430 is readily available? Omap 4430 is almost as powerful as the ST-U8500. The specs of Omap 4 can be found at ti.com. Q3 is just too much wait. SE needs to present their flagship this year on MWC 2011, or else other companies will outshine them. Xperia Play and Halloon are not just enough, let alone the Xperia Arc. I really hope to see the Android 2.3 phone with dual-core processor and 16.43 megapixel camera announced at MWC 2011.

^It is just my assumption about the dual-core device from SE. Since according to him we will not see a dual-core smartphone from SE until Q3 and the time to optimize the U8500 platform, it is easy to think that the first device will be running U8500 under its hood. Plus, If SE is planning on using OMAP 4 to begin with, it should have been optimized, too, together with the U8500. But so far, we have not heard anything about OMAP 4 except for false rumours. The rest of my said post was about just about the need for a dual-core device from SE to be released as soon as possible....that's all. |

TI OMAP4 is not as powerful as ST Ericsson U8500 and Samsung Orion. Mainly in graphics, as U8500 and Orion use the Mali 400 Quad Core GPU whereas OMAP 4 uses SGX540.
But still, overall the U8500 and Orion are equally powerful and OMAP4, Dual core Snapdragon, Tegra 2 are all inferior |
