Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc Review Part 2 – where it fails!

If you have read the first part of my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc review, you have seen that there is a lot to like about the Arc. Be it the super thin body, the very good camera, the probably best LCD display i have seen in quite some time, or the up-to-date Android, I am sure the Arc will appeal to a lot of people and sell quite well. However, as you know from my reviews, where there is good stuff, there will be bad as well, and after 2 weeks of day-by-day usage, i unfortunately have to come up with some things i wasn’t so happy about! So let’s cut right to it, shall we?

Thoughts from Hell: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc Review Part 1 – What’s hot?

It’s been some time since i last had a Sony Ericsson smartphone in my hand. After the desaster named Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, i was almost frightened to go back to SE again. Sony sure had it’s qualities, but they kinda missed it with the X10. big time. Fast forward into 2011, Sony Ericsson seemed to have learned from their mistakes and CES was a first sign of things to come, with the introduction of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. Slim, sexy and Gingerbread under the hood. A recipe, i thought, could breath new life into SE’s Smartphone division.

Impressed with SE’s latest try, I was eager to get my hands on the Arc. It attracted me in many ways. Even more so, when i had my hands on one shortly at the Sony Ericsson on Ice event some time ago! The time has come, when the fine folks of Sony Ericsson’s PR agency (thanks Marlene!) thankfully sent a review unit over.

So did it live up to it’s hype? Read on, once again divided into hits and misses (which will follow up later on):

Picture Gallery: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, sexyness included!

It was just last week, when i received a device I was looking forward to a lot: The brand new Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. Set to steer Sony Ericsson out of the swamp they were drowning in, this piece of hotness comes with a 4,2″ LCD screen with a new Bravia Engine technology, an 8MP camera with Exmor R sensor and dual LED flash, 720p video recording at 30fps and continuous autofocus. On top of that all sits Android 2.3 aka Gingerbread, customized by Sony Ericsson. This all comes packed in a 8.9mm thin plastic body. And oh my god, this is really thin. Is it worth the hype? Read that in my upcoming Thoughts from Hell, where i take a closer look at what is hot, and what not with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. In the meantime, feast your eyes on yet another of my picture galleries.
