I hope the new firmware sorts out the re-boot issues I have with my Arc. The thing reboots at least once in a battery discharge. |

After having a detailed comparison of the photos taken from my old X10 vs the Arc, the X10 definitely takes better photos, yes the X10 is a little soft towards the edges, but detail is better and colours a more natural. The X10 also seems to handle exposure better. |

I completely agree, X10 takes better pics, but you have to wait half an hour for the camera to start up and 20 mins between each shot. SE's cameras peaked at the C905 and have been on the steady decline since, but arc's shots are still acceptable for a camera phone and it has a very quick response.
Saying all that, I'm paying a little less attention since I got a Nikon DSLR, my phone used to be for taking some shots for work purposes and it was just below acceptable, but now I use it for facebook photos of nights out an to prove to the wife I was with guys only all night, for which arc is good enough.

Here's hoping the next software upgrade will resolve this problem.

I started experiencing battery issues after a week from the update. However, I travel a lot and I put the phone on plane mode, and the battery usage during plane mode is almost negligible, I read here that XDA Dev forums ppl are suggesting to use manual network search instead of automatic, and also I"m traveling tomorrow, so I'll be able to compare usage when plane mode on and off. As now, there is no comparison, battery is drained too quickly. I just set my phone to manual, and I'll write a feedback here about it!
Also, I only experienced one reboot from with the new firmware, and was after a very long 58 min call using bluetooth in my car. I had another 1hour long phone call yesterday and it didn't reboot.

Ahh! Can't wait for this update, wondering after getting the update would something like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mic[....]aCables_JN&hash=item2a142e3e87
would work like the LiveDock, so you can plug stuff into it like keyboards and mice to control the phone?

The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand... Mediar's Site |
