Hey, I am most likely getting an xperia ray on Wednesday. Is it the phone to get? Is it much better then the x10? It looks brilliant but I don't want to be conned from the good looks lol. Also, there is only one tiny section got the xperia ray on this forum, why is that? Is it because it is unpopular? Anyone else here for an xperia ray? Is it gold? Let me know thanks

Its in almost every case better than the x10.
only the letdown is, that it dosn't support Camera flash. Only Photolight like the X10.

Its the best budget phone its like arc mini
same res same processor same gpu
what if it have a small section its having official cm and that is a real custom rom
its 10 times better than x10
All phones around the same time have smaller sections. Check the arc, incredible s, etc.. sections to see what I mean.
The ray is a lot nicer than the arc imo.
The build quality looks a lot better too.

I would buy it in a heartbeat if it was the same size as the Arc.
I just can't use phones with <4 inch screen. If you can, then that's the phone to get. It's beautiful.

BUY IT! its my favourite phone because its small.
the only problem is that it makes me regret investing in the x10 even more.
Wow, I wonder if it would be cool or a nuisance having a smaller phone? Having awesome hardware in a smaller package...

Well, this technology is going to be used for many years by se. Android and small phones are these of the feature. But ofcourse there's always a bigger version out there..

I think the Xperia Ray is one the most beautiful phones out there. The price/quality of this phone is great.
Keep in mind what you are planning to use the phone for. Will you need a bigger screen? I would advice you to go to the store and try it out.

Well seeing as to how it costs less than half of what the X10 costs, I don't think it should have much going for it in the first place if the X10 doesnt
That's just pure BS from them. I know we're going to get it, but still ridiculous on their slow asses.
This device is a wicked device but its just SE are a bunch of w*nkers who dont please their customers as they used to before the x1, since xperia god knows what they playing at. Tbh i love my x10 and yes i do miss my blackberry 9700 but hey u win some u lose some

SE has gone off their rockers with the 2.1 update. True X10 has a big screen, HTC Desire HD has a bigger one 4.3 and it has 16M colors.
Thinking to upgrading my X10 to HTC Desire HD when it releases in Oct, this one has 2.2 out of the box.
Flash, App2SD, 8M CAM, more memory, FM radio, multi-touch and bigger screen with 16M colors, makes my X10 looks like an extinct dinosaur.

You know... in 6 months, there will be an even better phone, right?
You know... that's how technology works, right?
You know... it's silly to compare year old technology to brand new right?
Nah. I welcome your posts in 6 months, when SE announces the X20, with Android 3.5 out of the box, with support for PlayStation 3 games, super-multi-touch, and a 50mp camera with x-ray vision that makes your Desire HD look like the **** a dinosaur took millions of years ago.
Hello everybody!
I got a chance to play around with an Xperia Arc (preview version, NOT final) and I've created this short review and comparison of the new features.
thanks man
سلام=hi!
thanks... really good
Just counting the days before my Arc arrives.....
man can't wait any more
Why the hell would they switch the back and settings buttons?! That will be so annoying trying to get used to if you switch to the arc! Dumb move!!
How much does an unlocked arc cost? Btw guys I am a bit confused here. Should I go with the arc or with play?
Sent from my Xperia Arc using XDA Premium App
I think price will be variable as it is not release in all markets but for the question whether Play or Arc, it is totally up to you. If you want a gaming device, then play is the way to go if you want more stylish phone then Arc. There are Arc being sold on eBay for high six hundreds.
Yep you are right. Well I want a phone with very good multimedia capabilities along with dock support.

Posted a side-by-side of the camcorder/video recording.
As for the back button, I prefer it on the left. It points to the left. It should be on the left...
thx for the video ^^
what a nice teaser... hihihi
Arc seems to definitely have better colors and sharper edges for the objects, X10 looks bleaker and blurrier.
You knew it would happen soon enough. SE to release a "Duo" Core Android device.
Looks interesting.

Wow, that looks sexy. Altough I know it isn't official I like it. I also hope that the 4.5 inch will go to 4.3 inch or lower. It's to big! Defintely my next phone. It something ''original'' instead of copied.
Top part does look like a HTC, whole thing looks fake.
What are the chances of Sony Ericsson using ST-Ericsson processors for their upcoming dual core phones? Apparently the U8500 and the NovaThor Processors are pretty powerful and very power efficient.
Looks ugly.
I have always hated how SE moved the 'XPERIA' wording from below the LCD screen (X10) to below the hardware buttons (Arc), it just doesn't look right.
The proportions of the 'Duo' look messed up.
intersdating...........
seems fake & ugly
anyway can't wait for SE to catch up
My version of Duo

Wow!that's cool!how many months have past since the arc is out?now we are getting a new xperia!!haha SE is getting really ridiculous! Would be better for them if they recall the arc totally and keep investing on the x10 till this "duo" is coming out! I foresee a really short lifespan for the arc!

Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
whoever design this, they better sent this design back to drawing board or facing the consequences of low sales for this phone
If this is to be x8 segment price I still can understand, but for dual core flagship smartphone, it made lg optimus 2x looks like a state of the art design.
I think the design is pretty good. I mean how many ways can you design a phone that's basically made up of entirely of a touch screen? There is a new pic going around with the Duo right next to the Arc that can be found at the bottom of this link:
http://www.brightsideofnews.com/new...-preps-a-dual-core-smartphone-xperia-duo.aspx
From the looks of things, it might still have an "arc" form factor.
Its looking pretty decent from the front wonder how the back looks and it seems to be solid from the pics im looking. I mean it could have been worse!

I agree. We need to see the back of it to make the decision on whether or not it looks ugly. I'm hoping it doesn't follow the htc battery cover design choices....

Hi,
Anyone suggests worth buying Xperia Mini (not x10 mini) over the X10i, ignore the size of screen, apart from that its much cheaper and seems like everything may be more than x10i.

There is tons of development.
Plus they hacked true multitouch.
The mini has a lot going on

I got the ray it only 210pound in the the o2 shop it faster than the iPhone 4s on loading apps.
screen is clear than the iPhone.
it has 1ghz CPU ram 512 free 8mps can it got gd2.3 super1click working just no fourm on xda fully working sense 3.5 working on it. It is a good fighter for the HTC sensation it is all most as fast as it as I no my wee bro has it and now he is moving over to the ray the iPhone is my wife's and the ray kick ass if u no any1 with 1 just ask them to show you it you like
super.sense 3.5 on x8
If you have some money to spend you should get the Xperia Ray, for me it is very good, but i love the Arc S and if my parents give me permission to buy it, i will buy it, i want a big screen, and a very good Price/Quality'n'Performance relationship, and i have that in Arc S
Some Xperia Ray Specifications:
- Small size, it is easy to use with one hand, like X8
- A High Resolution, wich gives you an almost Retina Display (as the iPhone 4)
- 1GHz processor, fast enought
- 512MB Ram, suficient
- Slim, i like slim phones, X8 isn't slim
- GingerBread 2.3.4 with all his good features, like XLoud, Bravia Engine, Swipe Keyboard (?) + T9 Keyboard (?) (adjustable in settings)
- SE will give it the newest Android ICS
- 8MP Camera, with 720p video recording
- 4GB microSD card included
I might choose x10.
Although it is an old phone, but still better hardware than many almost same range price phone.
Im liking neo. It has exmor camera. Although im still thinking whether to pick neo or ray.

I would rather go with xperia pro,it's really fast and have a physical keyboard but slimmer than x8,I suggest that you reconsider the xperia mini because of its buggy camera,but you could get lucky by getting a non buggy camera model like some of the other lucky people
Sorry to barge in this thread
But yesterday I lost my beloved X8. Obviously can't think of any other phone than Android, the question is which one? Shall I go for HTC or retain SE again. Managing fund is the major problem at the moment . And I'm not going for a high end phone. I don't think there is any point in spending big money when you've got Tabs at almost the same (or even cheaper) price than those big shots like i-phone.
That also brings the next question, is it ok if I go for a Tab instead of the smartphone and use bluetooth for making calls. I can have at least 7" screen and phone combined in one package. So which one should I go for?
