After 5 days of heavy usage I can say the following.
The Arc is by far the best phone I´ve ever had and in every aspect the best possible allrounder but....
battery life sucks dramatically. Today it lasted a mere 11 hours on average usage! That means basically you cant use all the great things on this phone because then you cant use it!
Is there any tipps on how to improve battery life? I read something about the Arc lasting a good 1 -2 days! Im nowhere near that....

The battery is strange sometimes.
Yesterday It run out of power around 2 a.m. beeing reloaded full in the morning (11 a.m.)
with my normal extesive.
So when I got back home I left it charging all night.
And today I unplugged it at 11, and - it was showing 100% for 4 hours
Now it's midnight and I have 55% still. I used it less today but still looks good.
Maybe it should be loaded for a longer time after it shows 100%?
But I agree, it's a great phone absolutely!!!
Now I see a reason why
have chosen Android.

Very positive. Considering the person who reviewed it was hardly a fan of SE (cos of the x10).

Another review of the Arc:
http://www.mobilechoiceuk.com/Phone-review?product_id=858
I know this link below has nothing much to do with the Arc, but it's nice to hear that the Arc's display is mentioned in the same sentence as the retina display of the iphone 4.
Go to section [b]review, [b]and go to the sixth paragraph.

I think I found something about the Arc battery usage.
Looks like when you load the battery to 100% and leave it loading for another half an hour or more
it is lasting MUCH longer!
It happens to me to day again.
I unplugged the Arc at 12:30
Now 17:15 and the battery is 95%.

Got my misty silver Xperia Arc since 7th April.
My impression: HTC Desire Z is far better than Xperia Arc except the camera. It doesn't mean that the Desire Z camera is bad, it's good, but Arc simply better in this department only.
With almost the same apps installed on both devices, my Arc performs very slow, slower than Desire Z.
Opening an app took much times than Desire Z.
It is very very slow. So frustating.
I'm really disappointed with Xperia Arc.
One more thing: HTC Sense is better than SE's UXP.
I will stick to my Desire Z and buy the new HTC when available, may be the HTC Sensation.
I'm sorry SE, you're disappointing me again.
