Engadget IRL, they talk about gadgets they use in real life. Arc is being used by one of the writers as his regular phone.
"Arguably Sony Ericsson's flagship handset, the skinny Arc follows me everywhere. This one's now approaching the six-month mark, always accompanying me alongside my wallet and whatever new phone I'm getting to grips with (fortunately, I haven't taken to the Engadget trend of rocking five phones on four operating systems just yet). This is the one I keep coming back to when all those review handsets have flown the nest back to their respective manufacturers. Fundamentally, it's a single-core Android phone, running Gingerbread. It's got a 4.2-inch LCD display and an eight megapixel camera that can record 720p HD video. But casting the middleweight specifications aside, when I'm away from my desk and using the phone, there's so much to love. The curved frame that slips into my pocket, the tactile buttons and the camera, which is superb." (...)
Totally agree with what he says. Yes the build quality could be better, maybe a dualcore and some better specs overall, but the arc just works. Its a great phone, good battery life decent performance great camera. What more can you ask of a phone?
Arc is certainly one of the better phones SE has ever made. Its one of the FEW android phones who can challenge Iphone as a "normal phone" (cant describe it better) |

I got to play with a arc yesterday. Nice indeed however, I took a few pics and compared them side by side to my old N8. What a disappointment . . .

Just got the update 4.0.2.A.0.42 - anything new?
4.0.2.A.0.42 is the update we all got when going from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. Nordic regions got 2.3.4 first but in the form of 4.0.1.A.0.283, the only difference between that and 4.0.2.A.0.42 is a couple of bug fixes but nothing major.

@worf1000 the rules you wrote can't be used IRL, i want to use the extended battery only when i need the extra life (not beeing able to load it every night) else i prefer a nice looking phone, there is no chance i will permenatly use the big "ugly" battery

Is anyone currently using a 32gb card in their arc? If so what class are you using? I am currently looking and have found this one and this one
What I want to know is, is there a noticeable difference between class 4 and class 10? Is it worth spending £10 more getting the class 10 or is class 4 okay in terms of speed transfer and how quick accessing the card is when playing music etc.
thanks

class 4 represents 4mb/sec, class 10 is 10mb/sec
how often will you be transferring stuff that requires 10mb/sec? I don't think any movie you encode for a phone would hit that bit rate, and certainly no music will. it might take a bit longer to transfer stuff to your card initially though.

Ah I think I understand, so it wouldn't make any difference when browsing music/playing it on the phone? I do occasionally put movies onto the phone around 700MB, but I currently have a class 4 8GB and don't mind the transfer speed so it'll be same? I think I've made my mind up then, sandisk also comes with 5 year guarantee. thanks

I use one of these (it cost me twice as much when I bought it).
It's perfect. I have no speed or performance issues. I use about 20GB, though, never filled it up to the top.
Be aware that some of the class ratings are not accurate or are completely faked. My understanding is that the class ratings are ambiguous and are open to interpretation or not enforced.

I would choose class 6 over class 4 as that will certainly cover all usual phone usages and at this price, its a bargain, especially when recommended as it is here (though I've never heard of this brand?)

I am always suspicious when buying off amazon third party sellers because its practically like buying off ebay (which in my experience have always been fake) play.com on the other hand can be trusted. I've never heard of Komputerbay either, but you say you've bought from that seller and it's been good? thanks

Amazon & Play.com sell very dirt cheap cards of all types under their own brand names. I would be a bit sceptical about high class ratings on something so cheap. I use a 16 gig Sandisk micro SD it's always been reliable for me that brand.
Phone?? What phone?? |

Is that a class 4? I agree, ages ago when I was naïve I bought a 4gb PRO duo of ebay and it only worked up to about 2gb before not allowing any more data I didn't even question if it was fake, before it fell apart...  . But yeah sandisk is a make I trust, think I'll just go for 32gb one off ebay.
