I thought the whole viewing angles issue was overhyped. Yes the SGS2 has better viewing angles and the blacks are deeper than the Arc but I don't think the screen is massively better than the Arc.
I think the Arc's screen is a real joy to use. It's fantastically bright and vivid and the perfect resolution. |

the only aspect which is inferior in the arc to sgs2 is the black levels i confess , but you get insane sunlight legibility in the arc in return , i think that's more important (for me at least). |

The new weather widget is cool but I wish they had made it horizontal as opposed to vertical, would have made it easier to place as a widget. Would have been good to link it into an app rather than going to the website when wanting more forecast data. |

Yes! I've made this point to friends with the SG2 and they're like shut up it's super AMOLED, but the putting the two side by side whites are like a very pale yellow/greenie hue. Nasty.
I love the arc's screen it is so crisp and sharp, and it is a reality display, showing REAL colours true to how you'd see them in life, the S-AMOLED plus looks quite nice but its unnatural and urgh. Yeah the viewing angles aren't the best, but I only use the phone looking directly at it... who doesn't?

It's good but I can't find how to manually update it.
@bono exactly, it's all about vivid colors ,that's the point of lcd screens anyway .

I agree completely, the Arc really holds it own when it comes to viewing the screen on a bright sunny day. I had a Galaxy S2 for all of a week at the same time as having my Arc. For me the Arc out performed the S2 when it came to sunlight legibility. In response to the black levels with AMOLED, I had a HTC Desire with the AMOLED screen, and even though it produced deep blacks that were impressive, compared to the Arc, I soon forgot about that once owning an Arc. I am really fussy when it comes to screens on mobile phones, but I have been in awe with the Arc's display.

Sry for the double post.
I had the gs2 for the last 2 days too ,impressive device but boring design ,more people were asking me about the arc more than the gs2 and actually I prefer the arc. It' like the device has a personality. |

See my post in the SGS2 thread, I had it for a week and then returned to the Arc. Aside from the minor issues I had with the phone (keyboard, battery, etc) the main one I had was the design and ergonomics of the phone. Firstly, the design and construction was not on par was a £500 phone, very cheap plastics (actually for the grief the Arc get's I thought the design was better on the Arc) and secondly the phone IMO was too large to comfortably hold esp using one handed to type.
I honestly think 4.2 is the ideal size for a screen, you go any bigger and then you have to make the phone bigger and people don't want to heft brick or mini tablet sized phones around. |

I just love the Latest Firmware, It's so Zippy and Stable.
the only thing that i don't like is the battery life got worse than before, maybe just a little.
