It doesn't need to be a Bravia TV. It works on any with a HDMI connection but of course wireless is always better IMO.

I currently have a HTC Desire, and was wandering if the screen on the Arc is considerably better in every way compared to the Desire??
Thanks.. |

More than likely yes. I say that cos it's already an improvement over the older x10 which that in itself is a stunning screen & has great viewing in sunlight. I have heard the Desire screen is poor in sunlight. @Goldenface ok thanks well I do have a massive LG full HD TV but Sony ones are way too expensive

Yes I know, it didn't seem to submit my post but it appears that it did.
I'm quite excited about this phone to be honest, the last Sony Ericsson phone I had was the C905, but the less said about that the better. I have had many Sony Ericsson phones over the years, but my last two phones have been the Nokia N95 and the HTC Desire.
Looking forward to jumping on the Sony Ericsson bandwagon again. |

Here is a silly question.
Can I make a voice call using voice recognition - either with supplied wired headphones, BT Headset or directly on device using say 1 of the volume buttons? This was a hallmark of  phones started originally by Ericsson and SE before anyone else. Silly question I know, but my Samsung GS Captivate cannot do this with supplied headphones.

Hope the call volume is improved on this model Sony Ericsson cannot make that mistake again.

For devices prior 2.2, use Voice Actions found on Market. For 2.2 and newer use Voice Search. How well they work and whether they work with wired and wireless headsets as well I don't know. |

512 MB is the amount of flash (internal storage) e.g. where you store your apps. With Arc
however, apps can be stored on the SD card as well.
380 MB (approxemately) is amount of RAM.

Going by the amount of column inches and coverage this phone has received I'd say it almost stole the show at CES. It's nice to see commentators focusing on the overall offering and not just a spec sheet for a change. The design of the phone has gone down really well with almost everyone who has seen it and it looks like a winner up to now.
I prefer the blue version to the silver too.
That's not really true.
The boot at Sony wasn't crowded, Moto was the winner at CES.
Pretty natural beeing a domestic brand at CES imo.
The arc can be summed up in a few key points:
- Design looks great(dark version)stands out from the huge Android market.
- New SW version of Android.
- Not next generation HW, no really highlights from the X10, more marketing than features
- SE history of f****** things up in a major way.

Arne,
Thanks for the informative and quick reply's much appreciated.
Others ...
Although the Motorola Atrix 4G stole the show - especially with their docking accessories = profits for providers selling them to boost end user experience with real value; their aimed at two different target markets.
* SE has always been and always will be a pure mobile experience.
* Motorola has been a mobile unit but their aiming to the pure business market first & foremost before the end user:
key points are:
- Fingerprint security.
- Mobile Security management of device - this is a business targeted offering (not like Apple's MobileMe btw).
Using both devices will evoke a different experience and for the price estimations (arguable at the present time & different markets across the globe cannot be compared really) - I still feel that SE Arc has something unique here but more mass appeal.
Price, key marketing (not using just youth, or sexy woman, or odd looking feministic men in recent cellphone ads, but also smart well dressed adults as well). Android presents so many options I just had to see the light and jump from BlackBerry for my personal unit.
So far I'm MORE interested in The Arc than the other offerings ... Atrix 4G is a close second (the styling looks old & bland already), and I'm still looking forward to a super Samsung or LG offering.
PS: I'm still a tiny concerned why no new LCD technology used in Arc by SE. It takes MORE power for a traditional LCD to show "white" and the power savings achieved by AMOLED can help in power longevity. Unless this 2nd gen Qualcomm cpu offsets this.
