Which is overall better? What OS do they run on?
bump!
Actually I'd recommend the P over both that you mentioned. You'll get a larger screen than the U and newer UI features than the Arc S for around the same price.
Neither!
I've been an SE android user for a few years and repeatedly they lag behind their competitors it keeping you up to date, even more so now that they have unlocked their bootloaders so that the dev community can do their customer retention work for free.

Definitely Arc S, but comparing Arc S to Xperia P would me more fair and I actually think, that Xperia P is better than Arc S. But it doesnt have a separate forum on XDA....it is attached to Xperia S'forum.

Hi I have just heard back from insurance company to say that they don't have my desire hd in stock and I have to agree on a cash settlement instead. After some negotiation we have agreed on 280. I have got four phones in mind and just wanted to know if anyone on here can advise the pros and cons of each one in order to help me choose. Phones are as follows:
Sony Ericsson Xperia play.
Lg Optimus 2x
Sony Ericsson Xperia arc s
Or my desire hd again.
Both the play and the arc s I have found really good deals for. Main thing I'm looking at is overall performance and ability to root and run custom rooms.
Any info would be great
Cheers
the Arc S is a damn sexy phone. Id go with that if u can get a good deal for it.
But the Optimus 2x has a Tegra 2 dual core processor and good dev support as well. Both will get official ICS also.

yeah cheers just had a look at the arc s now, and it is very nice! that being said the optimus is very similar in terms of performance and price. trying to find a phone similar to them both that has slightly more memory and can be rooted
galaxy r would be a good choice if u are willing to sacrifice full hd recording and 3mp less cam !!
lg optimus2x would be the best choice for cheapest as the priceerformance ratio for optimus is quite high !!
+ the optimus 2x would be getting official ics in march !!
and many custom roms are also available !!
but i would like to ask !
dont you have any other options other than four of these ?!

haha, yeah, there are other phones out there. Ive narrowed down what i think are the best phone for under £250. really tempted to increase the budget and go for galaxy s2 now..
For me Sony Ericsson Xperia arc s is too big and galaxy is better choice...
Maybe is so big, but still for me Sony Ericsson Xperia arc s is better option.
The Arc looks so friggin' sweet.. can't go wrong with that one, I wish they'd bring it to Sprint.

In my advice. You will go with Sony Ericsson Xperia arc. Much better than others in terms of features and reliability as well as the market worth also counts. Desire HD would be a good set but it will be less expensive too
I can highly recommend the Arc S - just make sure you use a custom rom and not the official Sony ICS!
Get a nexus!!
I think the only disadvantages of Desire HD is low battery capacity (1230 mah) , high weight (164 g) and low lcd brightness but larger Ram(HD:768 MB Arc:512MB) ROM(HD:1.5 GB Arc S:320 MB) and about cpu I heard that arc s has a same cpu speed as arc (1 Ghz) but overclocked (to 1.4 Ghz).
You could probably find a bargain on eBay or Craigslist for a cheaper Galaxy S2. I bought a Sprint Galaxy Nexus off of Craigslist for $160 / £100 (I believe that is the price in GBP, not sure.)
I am waiting for Sony ION to come in White.
Super awesome looks.
depends on what functinalities you're interested in. For me, as a game maniac xperia play is the only choice (actually that's my current phone)
Arc S is the most sexy but Lg Optimus 2x is beter more internal storage and dual core cpu... I've got an Arc S but now I would buy Lg if they have the same price
Go for the Arc S I know a friend who has one and it's great. :good:
you buy cheap s2
Please don't resurrect old threads as I highly doubt the OP is still deciding on a phone 9 months later. Plus the sticky in this section is to be used for all such questions. Closed.

No it doesn't.
If you were using HTC or Motorola , you would still be unlocking the bootloader.
If you're angry towards samsung for not releasing ICS for our fit, your anger is completely unjustified.
You can't buy a low end phone with crap specs and expect it to run hd games and get all the updates.

Hello, i have opportunity to sell my over one year old dhd and buy new xperia tipo for exacly the same price. My question is:
Is it worth? I'll have android 4.0.4. But ill sacriface screen size... anyone has switched from something like dhd to an xperia tipo? Im not a gamer (however i saw on forum mc4 and order and chaor runs just fine) and after one year with dhd its realy too big for me. How is battery life and music quality compared to dhd? Thx.

No.The Desire HD is much better,put a custom ROM on it, i recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998428 as everything is working.Ofcourse you can search the forum itself for a better ROM, usually AOKP/CM are the best cause they have the least bloatware.
Tipo has 300mah more over the DHD battery, but sacrificing that much screen size will annoy you hardly.Music quality without CM on the Tipo is 0, it even has a db limit on it.Just go ahead, root the DHD, setup a ROM, and be done with it.
If you really don't want the DHD, you are free to swap with my Tipo
So what new phone do you suggest for no more than 150€ comparable to dhd but smaller. 3.5 " would be perfect i think...

I would say Xperia U or even if it's 2 old year if you can find it new, Xperia Neo (1ghz,512 mb ram,3.7 inches).

I own a sony ericsson arc s at the moment and am due an upgrade soon but cannot decide on what phone to get. I love my sony and i have used sony ericsson over the past 10 years (i think its time for a change). I found my arc easy to mod/upgrade even with a locked bootloader and would like my next phone to as easy. There are a few excellent phones out like the xperia z, htc one, samsung s3 and s4 and the nexus 4. Does anyone own any of these phones if so what are your opinions. Should i jump ship or stick with good old sony??? I have read reviews on many phones but need to get proper users thoughts.
Any thoughts, reviews, ideas are appreciated.
Cheers
Phil

All the mobiles you've mentioned are excellent phones which are easy to upgrade/mod.
They are in active development. But the new phones which are released (about to be released) are excellent in terms of all features and devs are working hard for custom firmwares and other deep options. So it depends on your personal choice. Anything you own depends on your own personal likeness.

LG L9 is quite old for today's standards. Though it has decent amount of development but still it has a old processor.
It lags and compared to Xperia L, it doesn't even comes near to it in terms of performance. Its your choice in the end though.

For me Xperia L is better,but choice is all yours.
Better things in Xperia L from the firs view is that XL is newer,got more internal storage,better camera and maybe better official support(maybe in future better support from CM too). I'm not sure,but maybe XL got better GPU too.
I have XL, my mother got L9, Display > L9, Everything Else > XL
Go for XL, Its newer and got higher benchmarks
