I knew that Apple use LG screen tech, but Opt Black is way upgrade from Apple's Retina only matter I'm not sure about DPI in Black as it maybe shouldn't catch up on Retina. See it yourself but someone wrote earlier Black is very light-weight with cheap plastic I'm agreed it only 109 grams

I guess there will always be competition (well except for the iPhone

), but I'm guessing the arc will get the jump on these as these are only leaks/rumours etc and so we don't know when they will be announced or actually available
mind you, HTC sense is what usually wins it for me so as much as I like the arc, and will probably get one, I could see myself changing to HTC again a little later

What about Arc with Launcher Pro Plus? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds for you? I'm using LPP on my X10 and love it.
Does Sense provide anything that LPP doesn't?
I'm pretty much certain I'm getting an Arc. I only keep phones for 12 moths at most and by then the dual core scene will be more matured and there will be a better variety of devices.
None of the dual core devices announced so far really grab me.
An Arc with dual core, 1GB ram, QHD screen and 16+ GB storage would be my ultimate phone right now.
Actually, take 5mm off the top of the phone while we're at it.

The 1st post has 4 sets of frequencies which doesn't really answer my question.
As far as I know there is no i and a versions of Arc announced, although the different set of frequencies seems to suggest that.
Also isn't T mobile using 1700 and 2100 and Arc only has 1700. So will it work fine?
So instead of asking me to read the 1st post, which I did, can you just answer my question please?
tmobile uses 1700 and 2100. One for upload and one for download you always need both. Arc only has 2100
http://www.sonyericsson.com/c[....]tfolio/specification/xperiaarc
So unless the final version includes 1700 you will not be able to use 3G/4G on tmobile
I am on tmobile and thinking maybe buy the phone and switching to ATT who uses 850/1900.

Thanks for the info. I was confused when I 1st read it. Especially since the 1st announcement for Arc was in America.
Is it possible that SE messed up the numbers? Why have 1 without the other?

Can anyone clarify for certain that the LED on this actually flashes? Or is it a photo light like the X10?
Thanks.

Does any LED flash actually 'flash' ? I thought that was only xenon...

The flash has 4 settings: Auto, Off, Fill Flash or Red Eye Reduction

The 2100 band is paired with 1900 in Brazil for example Throughout the world there is usage of various combinations of 800/900/1800/1900/2100 for up and download. So why the 2100 band is used many times in other countries, the 1700 band is (only very limited used as you can see in operating band IV here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands ) . So mfg I guess don't pay attention to that and don't worry about those "few" users. which bugs me as well. I'll have to talk to my bud at tmobile what the plans are for the future of that entire thingy.
Cheers
