New Android Girl nexus s and arc

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to android and would love if someone could help me. Coming from iPhone 4 I wana get android phone cause Rogers is releasing nexus s and xperia arc on 28th I wana get one but not sure which is better. Please help me everyone as I have only week to decide.
Thanks

Buy Arc Or w8 For Samsung Galaxy S2 ( similar to iphone 4 in looks )

might be forever for sgs2

just looking at the specs the Xperia Arc has the advantage in many areas:
8.1MP vs 5MP camera
microSD slot that can accept a 32GB card vs 16GB fixed internal in Nexus
4.2" vs 4.0" screen
FM radio
micro hdmi

MobileSyrup is reporting the Samsung Galaxy S II to be released late Q2/Early Q3. With a dual core 1.2 GHz processor, 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display and 1GB of RAM, I think it'll be worth the wait.
If not, I think the Samsung Nexus S would be a better choice than the Arc.

Sgs2 released in india. Getting in day or two
In Uk 1st May Onwards.
its not Forever

So not arc? I need one rightaway or nexus s.

If you want something right away, then take the Arc. It's a better phone than the Nexus S.

Agreed.
I used a Nexus S for a couple of weeks prior to getting my Arc and there's simply no contest IMO.
Of course there's the obvious points like the superior camera, the flexibility of having a memory card as opposed to only in-built memory, extra features like HDMI-out and the significantly better looks
But there's also things like the fact that the Arc is smoother, so much more polished and the screen is actually really good - for day-to-day usage, I'd go so far as to say that it's a match for the sAMOLED panel the Nexus S uses.

Hi i would recommend you to go for sony ericsson xperia arc because i have research lot for this phone and i got awesome reviews so go for arc. Thanks.

Except, you know, for the screen you're looking at all day (SAMOLED >>> any LCD), and the constant Google software updates. And the faster Hummingbird in the Nexus.

Please Help Me!! Should I Wait For Galaxy W Or Buy Neo V?

Please Comment.....Any Help Would Be Appreciated!!!

I think you should get the Neo V as it will definitely be getting ICS, and maybe even another update after that as Sony have been improving. The Galaxy Wonder probably will get ICS but Samsung take forever with their updates.

go for neo V sony confirmed that it will be getting ANDROID 4.0...

based on your (wish) list, neo v won imo.

PIck neo v, its cooler. there are also great support for that device here in xda. very customizable. camera is good with 5mp. Sony keeps their OS updated.

[Q] Galaxy S or Xperia Arc

Can someone please help me make the decision.
I'm buying my new phone in two weeks ..
And I'm confused between these two
Samsung Galaxy S
Or
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Taking into account the popularity of the Galaxy S and the wide-range support.
And the coolness .. the awesome camera of the Xperia Arc.
P.S. i don't know why so many people are comparing the Xperia Arc to the
Galaxy S II despite the fact that the S II has a dual-core processor, while the Xperia has a single core. They should compare the S but not S II
I'd really appreciate your answer so that i can make up my mind

Arc is more stylish to me.
Also, if you buy SIM-unlocked one, it's not a problem to unlock bootloader.
But it hasn't got so many custom ROMs as Galaxy S does.
Most Arcs can be overclocked up to 1.7GHz stable (max is 2.0GHz), even up to 2.0GHz if you apply some more overvolting.
And it has nice Super LCD screen which is great.
But, let's also tell something about Galaxy S: so much custom ROMs, big community, S-AMOLED screen, weighting almost the same as a bunch of 10 A4 papers.

galaxy s

Arc. Bigger screen, better camera. I even like the screen better: works well in sunlight.

I Would go for ARC as well. Very nicely build phone.

And what about the screen .. Super AMOLED vs. LCD Sony Bravia Reality Display
It's said that the S-AMOLED is the best in the business these days .. However, alot of people claim the Xperia's LCD is awesome too
And i don't know about the touch sensitivity comparing to the Galaxy S

[Q] What to buy, Xperia P, Sola, or Arc S?

I'm planning to buy a new phone and considering between these 3.
The Sola and Arc s are selling at the same price in my area.
Not much different between these 2 to me, the Arc S looks a bit sleekier but the Sola is newer. Both have promised updates to 4.0 ICS (will there be JB?). The main difference to me is the processor. Sola's dual 1Ghz NovaThor vs 1.4Ghz Snapdragon of Arc S. Which is faster? I don't play heavy 3D games, but will need to open large (10-30MB) pdf files. The Sola has better internal storage (8GB) but the Arc S will come with a free 8GB microSD card if I buy it.
The P is about 30$ more from the previous 2, with better screen resolution and 1GB RAM over 512MB of the 2. I don't quite like the design, but it's not a problem. The drawbacks are the lack of microSD slot and poor battery.
My needs are of a casual user: calls, messages, some web browsing, document reading (as mentioned), normal games like angry birds or fruit ninja, watching music videos,...
So what should I choose? And was I missing anything? Thanks in advance.

Eh... anyone? I'm going to buy it soon, so any recommendation is appreciated.

I think the Arc S would be the best for you then. Sure dual core is better but even a single core with 1.4GHz should be enough. I'm personally not a fan of the newer Xperias - dunno why :/ What are you going to use - stock or custom ROM? Well it's mainly a matter of personal choice - just go into a shop (this is called a market research) and get your hands on both (arc s and sola). Use them for some time and decide which one suits you better They are both nice pieces of tech And remember that if you don't like it you can return it in a 7 day period - so no worries

if you read more often on your phone, I suggest you to pick the one with bigger screen size and bigger DPI (dots per inch ==> printed magazine has around 300dpi). bigger RAM may also help in this situation.
I own xperia Ray (single core 1 GHz, 512 RAM). I can open pdf file with 30MB size smoothly using adobe reader. But, in this case there aren't many images inside the file. it will get slower if I open a scanned magazine or other similar files.
the newer xperia phone may have bigger chance to get upcoming android updates from SONY (e.g. Jelly Bean).

Sola's battery is 1320... It is less than minimum...

i think u should buy the Arc S. 1.4Ghz should be enough.
- A bigger screen than Sola which will be great for documents and casual gaming..
- higher battery
- great design.

sola...................:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: lvd that phone

Xperia J

Okay guys! I have a feeling to change from My Galsxy Ace to new Sony Xperia J... very stylished & slim,sharp phone...so can u people tell me is it a good move?? & how is your xperiance about xperia J?? Battery life good??

Nice choice... Sony Xperia J is a nice mobile phone because it comes with 4.0.4 android operating system, 4 inch screen display, 5 mega pixel camera, 1 GHz processor, 512GB RAM, 3G and 1750 mAh battery capacity which is superb so you dont think about battery of this mobile. You can read all details here:
themobileindian.com/handset-guide/details/Sony-Xperia-J

J's stylish design caught my eyes. But yikes.... it only comes with 512MB RAM which is the same as Xperia Ray I'm having now.
In fact, its specs are all the same with Ray (aside from the fact that it's newer CPU) except bigger screen and battery.
So, my guess is that you'll experience slight lag on normal use and heavy lag if you're running a lot of widgets and apps simultaneously. (after all, what can you get with that budget?)
Just my two cents, but it's definitely the best phone available out there for that price tag.

You dont think about batterylife of Xperia J because it has 1750 mAh battery capacity which is very good.

My friend have it.
IMO xperia J has teh good battery life, but main disadvantage is sometimes its so lag.
I dont know why, but its should be Ok.

xperia j have good specification enough to beat galaxy ace... i thng u dont need to compare it

The Xperia J's design is indeed really attractive and though it isn't as fast as newer phones, it's pretty snappy to me. One big downside to it is its internal memory though! If you're a shutter bug like me, you'll find yourself filling that internal memory really quickly.
