Yeah, me too. It would be silly not to be able to take advantage of the nice screen by using it as an alarm clock in charging cradle on your bedside table.
i bought "Bedside (night clock)" a few months back but i dont have it installed anymore (no dock for the x10i makes it kinda useless)

Sony Ericsson was behind in terms of the technology they packed in their phones for a long time since P990 came out with impressive hardware and software but was crippled due to lack of RAM. After that, they were trailing far behind from other manufacturers where they were in their own world thinking that shake control is the next big thing. Then Rachael came along after a 4 year-vacuum, what a breath of fresh air and for once they seemed to be in the league with all the big boys again- until they screwed up in the software support with slow updates, too much meddling with android coding and barring any form of multitouch. Now that they seem to have the software bit covered in Gingerbread, they now trail behind again with single core CPU, mid range amount of RAM and minute hard disk space packed in the Arc. Frankly, I couldn't care less about the specs as long as it runs smooth as butter to quote GSMArena. Unfortunately the people they are trying to woo back into using their product do. Mobile vendors will not relate to the Arc as 'powerful' which many of the high end android users demand today with all sorts of benchmarking app at our disposal and that is SE's loss yet again. I'm afraid they're streak of screw ups have not been broken but people like me (a minority) will end up getting the Arc anyway mainly because of the camera and multimedia display. What a shame

The arc has a clear black display that's why it is more expensive than the neo and maybe it has a front facing camera too.

Nice info, anyway we should keep in mind that the N8 screen has a really low resolution, much lower than the x10.

In my opinion, that's the ARC's selling point, it can't fight with hardware but it has a great design, the price compared with the samsung galaxy SII will be the thing that will decide the fight

There are few phones of late that have had design talked about as a major +.
The design of Xperia Arc gives it plenty of 'Wow Factor' which will make it hard to ignore when displayed instore next to other, probably, more powerful devices.
Too many smartphones look so bland, copycat and lookalike these days its hard to tell one from the other.

So this wasn't a missconfiguration...
:
Let's see if ENGADGET, GSMArena, mobile-review, etc confirm this, i think that with the design and a good price, this statement can be one of the few weapons against the samsung galaxy SII
