My old trustworthy Nokia 5800 Xpress Music has been serving me well. Superb music capability, great Ovi Map, great Garmin (pirated though...Shh...) best speaker from a phone, and a great memory with it. But the screen got cracked (though still functional). I am ithching for a new phone after seeing the new phone.
Ever heard of Sony Erricsson Xperia Arc? Saw their display units during a promo period in City Square. And believe me, it WOWed me. The screen is the best part of it. I dare to say the colour and brightness is better than even the iPhone 4. And comes in a bigger (MUCH MUCH BIGGER) screen estate. Good for watching my movie...Wahahaha... Also, another thing that caught my eyes is the design. Its Arc. Really. The back part of the phone is actually curved. And it looks very sexy indeed. I tried to hold and play around with the display unit that day. It really is light. And the screen is DAMN DAMN NICE. Bravia engine might have played its part there. Meanwhile, it is not laggy as I thought it would be (As most of the android phone that I encountered with is slightly laggy). This baby is smooth! Smooth criminal I would say! Damn! I would really want to own it at that time, if I could!
Also comes with the new Xperia Arc is the new image sensor, dubbed Exmor R. Tried to take pictures in dark condition. And it beat my Nokia by miles! Not to the par of night vision sensor, but still very impressive for a camera on a phone.
The package seems to comes with plenty of bonus free gift, including wireless headset, HDMI (!!) cable, in-car charger. Can either get it at Maxis @ RM1499 with 24 month contract (for RM98 per month) or RRP RM 2099 (should be much lower and even lower for AP).
No money though. I wish I could!
Other subspeciality that no one really mind: Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), 512mb (380mg accessible) RAM (a bit low), and a relatively poor battery life....
Now, should I or should I not get it?
