I'd never heard of komputerbay before I bought that card either. At that time I decided to take the risk on it anyway. I've never taken it for a proper speed test but I can vouch that hasn't broken down yet, given me bad read/writes or shown any signs that it's too slow for me needs.
I'l do a few small file, medium file and large file size transfers to and from and give you back the results. Be back in a short while.
I have a dig bick

OK, I've done a quick test of my 32GB (supposedly class6) card, which I bought from the aforementioned Amazon seller's link.
I tested with a three different file sets:
Small files - a web site I'm working on, 1400 files and most if not all of them less than 1MB, total 462MB.
Medium files - long album (Beatles number 1s album), 27 files between 4MB-10MB each, total 181MB.
Large file - this week's FXP X10 ROM, 1 file, total 91MB
I took the card out of the phone and put it in one of these thumb size card readers to eliminate the phone as a source of slow progress. I also did each file set individually read and write.
Unfortunately I didn't have a high-tech programme to tell me all the results so I just copied in and out with Windows 7, read the details on what it thinks the speed is and timed it with my analogue wrist watch.
In case you are thinking it might effect the results, my PC is a core i7 920, 6GB RAM and I copied into the card from my secondary HDD but copied from the card to my primary SSD.
The Juice
Small file transfer (1400 files / 0-1MB / 462MB):
Write speed: 3.5 MB/s to 4.5MB/s
Write time: ~2 mins
Read speed: 11MB/s to 13MB/s
Read time: ~40s
Medium file transfer (27 files / 4-10MB / 181MB):
Write speed: 6MB/s to 9MB/s
Write time: ~30s
Read speed: 13MB/s to 15MB/s
Read time: ~15s
Large file transfer (1 file / 91MB / 91MB):
Write speed: 8MB/s to 10MB/s
Write time: less than 10s
Read speed: peaked 28MB/s
Read time: less than 5s
As you can see, the results show a consistent 10MB/s+ read speed and the write speed is also fast if the file size is above a certain threshold. It seems to be worthy of it's class 6 rating. All files transferred have to be confirmed to be correct after it's sending, so the extra time in pushing lots of small files is typical and expected.

I just rooted my arc, and cleaned out all the crapware. The speed increase is simply amazing and the free RAM that was previously wasted. I cannot recommend it enough, although I'm quite bad at modding my prized possessions I don't like to take risks (no matter safe it is!) I didn't realise quite how easy rooting actually is.
Download the file, then click RUNME.bat and follow the instructions all you have to do is plug the phone in and that's it less then 30 seconds you'll be rooted.  So happy, but annoyed it took me this long to do it!

The S2 is supported by using DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit
http:// http://forum.xda-developers.c[....]ad.php?p=18805560#post18805560
It's the easiest way, before when I researched rooting and it talked about how I would have to downgrade the firmware then flash etc. and just seemed complicated but this really is no sweat!
bite the bullet!

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 think this post pretty much sums up the Arc for me. I've had it now for 8 months and whilst it's never going to challenge the likes of the SGS2 and the iPhone for the average consumer, it is a solid phone, and arguably SE's best Android phone to date.
Sure it has it's annoyances (random re-boots, a little bit of lag now and then, camera restricted by overly harsh post processing), but design wise it is great, it holds well in the hand and the screen is lovely to use. SE also learn't by their previous mistakes and seem to be learning as they go along. |

Agreed. And I think it actually can compete with dual cores as well besides maybe some heavy games. Otherwise it's almost excellent. Definitely best device since P910i.
