Its nowhere near as good as my hd7. Not accurate. However when I had my x10 I couldnt use the sony ericsson keyboard so I used the original keyboard...however the arc doesnt have the option |

Install an alternative keyboard of your choice... and use it...
I'm finding it fine... May give the gingerbread keyboard a chance too...

I know it's not free, but I've been using the Flext9 keyboard for the last couple of weeks on the X10 and now Arc and I would hate to go back to a normal keyboard now. Four different input methods - dictation, swiping and handwriting recognition as well as a "normal" keyboard. The dictation is very accurate in a quiet environment but I generally use the swipe method. It's as good as it sounds in this review:

It's especially smooth on Arc. |

Here is the keyboard from CM7 RC4 2.3.3. I'm pretty certain it's the stock Gingerbread keyboard, but I don't know for certain as I've never seen the stock for my own comparison.
I have a dig bick You read that wrong |

Great phone. I will stay with it for the long time probably yeah.
More tomorrow because I want to play with it and I lost my PC powercord. But night shots are very very good, never seen that on good on phone.
Like it very much.
Nice to hear  welcome back to SE! (All the wp6 guys at xda seems to have switched to android also. Imo android is more like wp6 than wp7 anyway, customize ftw! )
Yes I'm back!
And true, Android is like WM6......
I will report soon also the comparison with WP7..

I was impressed that the site actually used fine calipers to check the phone's real dimensions.

Well I like the stock keyboard, even though its not quite on a par with the HTC keyboard that is on the Desire, I have no qualms.
Xperia S in white ROCKS!! |
