Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc: Goods and Bads.

[Alex Fang]

What do you like about the Arc?

[daaceking]

i like the large screen and good camera. I don't like the fact that such a powerful phone can not have walkman features. So i'm trying to get hold of a w995

The bads:
1) pathetically small ROM size, forget about installing hundreds of apps even w/ apps2sd
2) SE softwares (already proven to be a battery life killer)
3) No dedicated search button

arc is a little cheaper in timtechs the last time i check

[gelu88]

The Rogers price is $550, vs $660 at timtechs.

even if you add the unlock price to the rogers version, why would you buy from timtechs?

Ah... I want to try this phone ...

[rdeala]

Anyone try this phone with another headset?
I tried my Beats (made for iPhone) and the sound was garbage, totally distorted...
Background sounds from a movie were audible, but the voice was not.
It was weird.

SE reversed the mic/ground wiring, hence all of the issues with non-oem handsets that have mics/controls.

A normal pair of headphones should work just fine.
