Should I sell my X10 for a Xperia Arc?

shungo · Jan 7, 2011

Don't get me wrong. I love this phone. But it's slow, lags and it's on 2.1. I can't take the speed of sony putting all this crap to slow down the phone. The Arc looks good (slimmer, andriod 2.3 with a 3.0 upgrade promised).

what should i do??

KTP · Jan 7, 2011

and you dont think sony ericsson will fill the arc with crap?
i will be buying an arc once i'm due for an upgrade, will probably be a couple of months after its release so i will have a better idea of what its like by then.

the arc is still 3 months away, there could be a better alternative out there but i like SE phones, even tho the last one was a let down and they were slow with updates on this one but i still think highly of the X10 and have no regrets over choosing it.

Dont you remember all the promises they made with the x10

1 lesson i have learned.....ignore everything you hear unless its comfirmed and released working on the phone you like....not just on the x10 but ANY phone your interested in

Merolas · Jan 7, 2011

anyhow... i really don't think they will upgrade to HoneyComb (3.0) since this version will be made for Tablets only...

but they say they recoded the ARC to be way less heavy and should come with more timely updates than the original X10.

I have to admit...for the look Sony scores always near perfect.

shungo · Jan 7, 2011

yes! the new design always drive me crazy

anybody thought that as the arc is even thinner....that means a less battery life??

past experiences tell me not to beleive what sony SAY it can do....until its release and proof that it does.

It all depends on 100's of options on batter life...3g or gsm, wi-fi on, bluetooth on etc etc

i will reserve judgement on battery life until its released

My mate ankh showed me the Arc today, it looks very nice, but im a long way of upgrade yet, will deffo be having another android phone thats a no brainer, so hopefully SE will have something nice out when due.

madmurdoch · Jan 11, 2011

Battery life is covered on the SE website under Arc specs section and it's marginally less than X10.

CuBz · Jan 11, 2011

I also, will be getting the Arc, but I am not due an upgrade until February 2012, so by then I will know everything about the phone, and if t has everything promised. Another good point will be that it will be cheaper by then lol

gunny5821 · Jan 11, 2011

The x10 will be the last SE phone I will ever get. But hey thats me..

carmendiva · Jan 12, 2011

Go for it! The Arc is the sexiest device i've seen announced thus far...It doesn't seem to be a huge increase of the X10 but it does seem like this may be SE last chance to actually be anything worthwhile so i think they will support it....

And coming to At&t, I hope At&t will push them to work harder for this phone. At&t needs to strengthen it's arsenal of phones now that it's lost exclusivity to the Iphone

With zero support, who would be stupid enough to buy this pile of junk.

I could understand a little if you had not bought and been screwed over by the x10, but if you have bought the x10 and then buy a arc, more fool you.

x10iii · Jan 13, 2011

get the arc, it has an awesome design plus the features look really good.... check out gsmarena.com; according to them arc is rated very high..

Do you work for Sony Ericsson?

I would only take a arc if they were giving it away for free (so i could sell it on)

m24mura · Jan 13, 2011

I will upgrade only if it's compatible with T-Mobile's 3G 1700.

X10 is an excellent phone. I love mine and my wife is probably going to get an Arc.

Does everything I expect from a phone and whole lot more. Much better than the phones my friends have.

rosered · Jan 13, 2011

Plus 1 on loving my x10 does all I want and much more than I imagined when I bought it. When my contracts up I'll look around and see what's on the market. I won't rule out another Sony Ericsson.

sven256 · Jan 13, 2011

I'm guessing those that are saying it's really good, are either new to android or have used very few other android phones.

As the way it is at the minute, even a

I have only used a few, but have been really impressed by the X10. Good friend of mine has the Galaxy S and it's camera is garbage compared to the X10....but it was much faster when I was on 1.6. When I moved to 2.1 it got a little quicker.

Now that I am using a special image that has all the Sony junk off the phone, it works just as fast as the Galaxy....in fact, I got him to download a benchmark app and ran it and I beat him.

I had my phone a couple months before him (Galaxy wasn't available till 2 months after the X10) and I didn't have to pay 100 bucks plus be locked into a 3 year contract.

I am happy with my x10...I find people who hate it or have big complaints about it haven't set the phone up the best way they could...

If you simply use the Sony setup and then give up and hate the phone then congrats on your future paper weight. I am happy, phone working smooth and loads apps just as quick as the rest, but I feel bad for the people using the generic setup....or the people still stuck at 1.6.

Some people already have 2.2 installed on the x10...the community is our future, not Sony.

Yes but it should not be up to the community, It should be up to sony.

Hence why people should not be supporting sony, by buying their products.

As for beating the Samsung galaxy, that's not really a fair comparison. Wipe the galaxy to stock, and it would walk all over the x10 hardware. The x10 is just below the specification of the htc desire, so in theory on stock should be around the same performance. Unless you are doing a lot of processes, where the extra ram on the desire would come in handy.

But i will agree the x10s camera is very good.

carmendiva · Jan 13, 2011

I loved my x10...the camera was amazing

just wished it had the update when i had it

werthers · Jan 14, 2011

Sell the x10 and buy something non sony that's not filled with crap that slows it down and can be modified easier.

I would ask this question on a non sony board as you'll get a less biased response unless your heart is only set on sony

richardsilv · Jan 14, 2011

X10 aint that bad but im using the freex10 2.2 rom which is awesome as for the san fransico orange well its pretty crap compared to the x10

Should I sell my X10 for a Xperia Arc?
