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):

Unknown futuristic Nokia Phone featured in Real Steel Trailer?

Well well, look what I’ve just found! While watching the latest Trailer for “Real Steel“, a geeky Sci-Fi Robot fight movie, there’s Hugh Jackman tapping on his phone to end a call, which turns out to be an unknown(?), futuristic looking Nokia phone. It sure does look a bit like a N8/E7, with the plastic caps on top and bottom, with a transparent middle part. Of course phones will always be transformed a bit to fit into movie styles, but hey, it’s all fun, so why not show it to you?

Check at 00:16 into this Trailer!
