Sony Ericson Xperia Arc
Sony Ericson Xperia Arc. This super-slim smartphone is only 8.77mm thick, so thin enough to keep your old phone envy. But beauty is not skin deep. So what is in it?
Arc Xperia running at 1GHz processor Qualcomm MSM8255 with spicy Adreno 205 graphic elements to make little things agile. Ericson somehow managed to cram 512 MB of RAM in there (about 400MD PC has more than my first.) There is also a convenient storage of 8GB via a MicroSD slot for all your favorite music videos.
Functional sports 8 megapixel camera phone that works extremely well to capture detailed images and video even well-formed. The 1500mAh "middle-of-way" batteries not destroy the earth, but will make you run for several hours without a booster in your pocket (Thunderbolt hear me?)
Unfortunately, the screen showed little to be desired. It is 4.2 inches 854 x 480 affair, which is marginally acceptable in this day and age. What makes the company the largest, but not bright. Colors in this case quite tedious and very narrow point of view that it was like back in 2001.
As far as price, off-contract price is about $ 600. Which may be cut in half with a contract though so do not let that deter you.
