Waiting isn't my strongest skill - Xperia Arc General

Probably recognizable for most of the die hard members here. It's like waiting for someone posting a new rom, you keep bashing F5 to see if something is there yet. Now I have a similar problem. Yesterday I received a message from my provider my contract is renewed and the Arc is on his way to my house as we speak.
I checked out Track&Trace and the parcel indeed has left the transport company this morning. Now I notice I keep looking outside the window every 2 minutes I already have the feeling I am a bit behind, while this phone just hit the market a couple of weeks ago.
Well, not a very constructive post I assume, but I thought I share something useless for a change with you guys. I already saw a few familiar names from people who came of X10, but going through the topics I already noticed lots of new names.
Hopefully some good devs buy this thing as well so we can fool around a lot with this beauty.........hmmm....still no postman here
Cheers,
Arnold

Congratulations on a nice buy and I hope for your sanitys sake the postman arrives soon

Seems Zdzihu and Bin4ry are both getting involved.. though neither of them have the device yet!.. and Welcome!

Now that is great news. Let's get this thing rooted than
Did you unlocked the bootloader yet? For now I can't see the point actually so I think I wait till it has some advantages for us. Great to see you here too. As you now I am not a dev, the only thing I can do is make some graphical things for the eye and some (un)usefull comments
Man, waiting can be taking some time. I am out of sigarets (I know, bad habit), but I don't dare to leave the house for 15 minutes, because with my luck the postman will be here in that 15 minutes :lol

Welcome
Arc is one of the best phones out there.
Rooting for a custom rom seems to be quite difficult...
You might have to wait a bit.

i know exactly how u feel. i ordered 2 and had to wait for a month before i cud get my hands on em. i called sony showroom everyday and eventually when it came, they gave me a discount
"all good things to those who wait"

@ arnold:
btw I ordered one for me and one for the mrs. same as you...

Well my wife changed here mind and went to another provider where she gets an ipad2 for free with a 2 year contract for 32euro a month. Really can't understand how they can make money on these kind of offers. I spoke with kpn for a while and in the end I get my arc for free now. In exchange it will be delivered by a very slow postman

Mate, you are going to love it when it arrives. It really is a huge step up from the X10.
I played with the X10 a little this morning and it made me realize how much better the arc is. Also, X10 feels like an absolute brick in comparison.
Hope it turns up soon!!!

like hyperx10 said, ull love it. it really is the sexiest gadget i've held in my hand and not bcoz i spent money for it ... really worth the wait. if only devs root it soon.
pollypix: cant wait for you to make awesome wallpapers for arc!

does the arc also has the 960x854 resolution? In that case you can use the 180 wallpapers i posted in the x10 section. Or would it be wise than to copy it to the arc section as well?

480x854 screen, so those wallpapers will work.

Hey PollPixx good to see you here man hope to see some more x10 users and the devs as well I am also waiting impatiently for the 28th to come as that is when my carrier will release the phone, i feel like a 5 year old kid on Christmas i havent felt this excited and impatient in a long time lol. Hope yours gets there soon

I got mine today too...
I was scared to go to the toilet because it is at the far end of the house and I wouldn't hear the doorman. It didn't help that I had to wait until 3pm for him to arrive
But it was all worth it am loving the phone so far...

If you think that's bad, how about actually having the box in the house but having to prevent yourself from opening it because you have work that needs to be done? xD
I got mine with Three UK, their "All-you-can-eat data" (real unlimited data usage with no fair use policy, tethering supported and advertised) for £40/mo with nothing to pay up front.
According to their store manager it's also unbranded and not SIM locked so when SE stop supporting it I'm hopeful I'll be able to unlock the bootloader

Good to hear more people will get this great phone, maybe we get more useful panels by xda users =)
In the same terrible situation as folks without a confirmed date. sony in my country (Singapore) just did a pre-order for SEX1. But I am waiting for operators to pick it up and offer it with contract so that it will cost lesser. Anyway, i am not keen on what the pre-order is giving.

I finally got my HAD TO HAVE IT NOW Xperia - Probably going to sell it .. Haven't even put it in my purse or taken it out of the house. My eyes are older than I am and with the super great resolution everything is too small for me to read .. gotta whip out my magnifying glasses to use it ..
JEEZ ...
Where did you guys order yours from and how much did you pay for it? (include shipping and tax) I'm looking to get one but I dont know where is a reliable place to buy it. Anyone have experience with Clove?

Things To Do While Waiting For Our HD's ?

While reading some of the other posts it seems ppl are so excited to get there phones and are upset about the suposed delays. So for those people who are wanted to do stuff with there HD without having it here are my sugestions :-
-- Making some cool theme ieas in the theme section
-- Dessuss the accesories that look good/bad in thee accessories sections
-- Looking for cool new apps (thats always fun)
-- Pass the time catting to fellow HD owners to be in irc (freenode #DesireHD)
-- Reading this thred you probably spent 10-15 seconds reading this you have now gotten 10-15 seconds closer to getting your phones (yay !)
I do Not recomend
-- Refeshing the Realese date threds every three seconds (which i seem to be doing)
:-D
-- Alternatively, Stop procrastinating on those assignments
-- Email all big tech blogs and beg for their Desire HD reviews!
Buy an iPhone 4
^Wow that is a good one! Nice idea
I think if we have developers around here, maybe rooting could be a good place to start? I mean, we do have the original rom to take apart.

Waiting for DHD
Well guys I am going to buy a desire 2nd hand and then see what the reviews say about the DHD and make a decision then.
After all how much can I lose £50???
I just purchased desire brand new £250.00 already sold to someone for the end of the month pickup.
Now where was I ow yes living
I just got pipped at the post on ebay. I dont mind paying £250 but its difficult finding one at the right price.
Try gumtree that's where I found mine. You could buy mine and I could get another!

The iPhone really sucks. You have to wait for a jailbreak (and that's going to take a while) and you can't tweak the iPhone. Just wait for the HD.

A bit extreme - personally, I will never use a "closed" device again. Android is the light in the Apple Dark.
Well guys I bought myself a second hand Desire this morning and the seller rang me up to confirrm despatch.
The great news is that I can get rid of my iPhone 3GS and have use of a "better" phone for me.
That means that I can be less anxious about the DHD release but will wait for the reviews etc and then decide whether to skip the DHD for the new dual core phones out post xmas and which should run Andriod 3.0
Keeping my pre order with Clove though and hedging my bets
Here is some good naughty stuff to get you started:
http://tinyurl.com/3x2ljt7
Got email from Mobilephonesdirect.com this morning.
We are
expecting to be able to fulfil your order in the next 15 working days which
means your Desire HD should be with you by the end of October.
I pre-ordered this back when delivery date was the 7th.
Looks like none are getting them before the end of this month, ow well at least we know now.

Im gonna overclock my touch hd as much as possible... doesnt really matter if it breaks anymore!
Actually, I need to sell it... oops
just thought i'd let you guys know. if you do a youtube search of HTC Desire HD and sort by date to most recent, you'll get a ton of new videos from the last couple of days.

Adios buddies

Sorry for being an idiot in the middle of this celebration, now that X10 is getting officially Gingerbread...
I have a broken heart right now. My X10 was stolen this morning.
I didn't have an insurance plan so they can't give a new one... I already went to the police, but nothing...
You see it guys? How ironic the life can be sometimes. My X10 is stolen the same day Gingerbread is officially announced...
Guys, Im very broken-down, Im really depressed. Hope not bothering with this thread, but I only wanted to let you know, and give you an advise: take care a lot of your X10 and enjoy it now more than anything.
Congrats to SE, and for this great decision, Im gonna really consider to get Neo or XPlay at the end of this year.
And thanks all the devs for all their wonderful work. I learned a lot about Android and I really enjoyed it.
Also, thanks to all guys that helped me and share my point of view. And thanks to those who were against me too, at the end it was good to debate.
Good bye for now and I hope to come back soon.

Report it to your carrier. It's pretty obvious where your phone is being used to them, since they have the IMEI number. And, if they can't get it back, they can at least ban the IMEI from the network, making it useless for the guy who stole it!
Guys, thanks for your support. Im much better now, my girl and my friends have bring me back. I won't get back my X10, I know it, but life goes on, doesn't it?
Im still kinda sad, I really miss my Xperia... But hey, there are good news; now that SE has given a good step and took the right decision, Im looking at Neo or XPlay as I said before, but I have a special interest in Neo (I don't really like Arc). I calculate Im gonna have it at the end of this year, or probably before, I still don't know.
And yes, I already reported my X10 to my carrier, I asked for blocking the IMEI, hope that works.
But I still say bye 'cause I can't participate for now on this forum since I don't have a X10 anymore. See you later, future Neo/Xplay owners

Sorry about the insurance bro; Telcel only accepts "losses with violence", ie. you need to be mugged in order for the device insurance to be applicable.
really sorry to hear about that m8 last summer someone broke my car window and stole my SE P990...Although it was an old phone and had no particular value, i know how you feel..Heads up and i hope they bust whoever did this and beat the **** outta him!
When I see all this support, it becomes hard to say bye hahaha.
Thanks a lot guys. you know? I was about to design some themes for X10, but now I don't have it for testing them. However, I'll be designing some wallpapers for your phones. So, I couldn't say totally 'bye' 'cause Im still here, not so much like before, but I'll still be around sometimes.
Once again, thank you all, You make me feel better
sometimes you have to say good bye to old stuff and make way for the new stuff
good bye [old]

Goodbye, Farewell, Arrivederci, Adiós, See ya!

Right, bad new for me... My MD has decided today that everyone has to have a BB 9900, so my S2 which was going to be with me tomorrow is no more... To say I'm upset and pissed off would be an understatement, but alas, nothing I can do about it...
So if I hang around here beyond now it would be seen as a bit weird and creepy, so it's goodbye all... I won't miss the repetitive posts and questions, but I will miss the great humour and pen craft...
Developers keep developing, users start reading...

P.S. - I've got a 'Soul Black' Neo Hybrid on it's way in the post to me, so if anyone fancies it please PM me... Otherwise it will simply get sent back...
Shoot your boss? Or hang around anyway - there'a a lot weirder and creepier here who don't have SGS2s - they have... THE YELLOW TINT FROM HELL!
Take care mate, will miss your humour - but maybe you'll rediscover the will to live?

New BB arrived today, still hasnt been configured but I had a quick play...
Design is the usual, but back to the original width so larger than the recent ones... It is the thinnest one ever though... Feels well built and looks pretty smart... Keyboard does feel like the best BB one yet, but the keys above them are shiny so show fingerprints... Back is weird if you ask me... The battery cover is basically clear plastic/glass over a textured surface, again finger prints, but different I suppose...
Now then, OS7... What can I say? Same'ol'same old...As crap as ever but with a brand new lick of paint... Touchscreen works, but I just thought, what's the point really...
Read a post over at crackberry and some guy got rid of his S2 for one of these things... We might have some intellectually challenged members, but what does that make him?!
Anyway, I'd like to introduce you all to a great new charity... It's called the 'Get Caspa an S2 as his work decided to get him a BB 9900 at the last minute Fund', a great cause as he shouldn't have to suffer in this way... I'm sure you'll agree...
Rest assured, 100% of donations will go to the fund and remember, YOU can make a real difference in Caspa's life...

Swines!
Don't you have a mobile of your own mate or do you just rely on your job to provide you with a phone?You can get the GS2 for free on contract in UK if you cant afford to purchase it outright although i always recommend purchasing outright and avoid long contracts.
Even if i had a job that provided a phone id still ensure i had my own phone and it wouldn't be a bloody iPhone or Blackberry either.
Just an observation

This is good bye from The Gingerbread Man (temp)

Hello my friends here at XDA!!
It brings me great sadness to say you wont really really see much of me round here for a while. I originally planned to make this thread in about a weeks time when i leave for my holiday to Florida for 2 weeks but im going to post now as today i have sent my beloved X10 for repair due to accidental damage. My x10 is not due back till wednesday, the day before i leave for my holidays.
This leaves me phoneless, i do not own a laptop and tbh i rarely have the patentience to use my **** old pc which sounds like its about to take off with the fan spinning so loudly! I odnt know if any of you notice but 99.999999999% of my posts and pm come from my xda premium app or tapatalk for this very reason!
On the plus side when i get back from my holidays i will be up for an upgrade on my contact and be able to get a better newer phone. When i find something i really like and want i will be leaving you guys. I will pop in of course to 'visit' and when i can i shall post before my holidays. I have a full time job and girlfriend and fairly active social life so dont expect to see much of me is all im saying and when the time comes to move on permananltly il leave you all know.
So really this is just to say you wont see much of me round here for perhaps about 3 weeks give or take a few days.
Peace and out,

I want something brand new, not that sgs 2 is old but i want cutting edge newt time around and to follow developemt from the start. I dont like touch wiz and if i were to flash custom rom id want it to be like wb rom, remaining close to stock looks.

Hi Bro,
It is strange not seeing you around today as i know you will be missing all the fun of the bootloader unlock. What a time hey to get your phone drunk, i bet you not do that again mate lol.
Well i hope you get a phone sorted quick and that you enjoy your hols, maybe when you get back you can sort out another cheap x10 so you can play around with the unlocked bootloader with us all but if you get upgraded maybe you will not want to bother as you will have something better, well hopefully.
chat when you can mate.
What to say i feel bad
I know exactly how you feel, my x10 got stolen and vodafone didn't have any x10
They gave me Neo instead and its a awesome phone and all but with the bootloader unlock now I'm gutted...
Have a good holiday mate

lol you're sad about that?
dude that's the best thing ever.. the neo processor and gpu is a hundred times better. plus true multitouch
the x 10 bootloader being unlocked isn't going to amount to what people think.
you lucked out huge.
it is tomorrow i leave for my holiday, 2 weeks time il be back and hopefully have a phone, mine still isnt back from repair, im leaveing for manchester airport at 5am uk time so looks like no phone to take on holiday. Im sad without it and iv missed loads since iv been gone only one week.
