It isn't too bad, definitely not up there with other phones for the quality of the handset, but far from poor. I've came from an Omnia 7, which had an all metal body and felt like a high quality phone, so in comparison it doesn't match that. But it still looks good, lightweight and amazingly thin for what the phone has crammed inside. Aside from the plastic battery cover it really is an incredible phone.

The screen is fantastic, new generation of super amoled display is stunning.
Engadget's review is really good, gives you an idea of just how good this phone is.

to be fair i think the case design was more about saving weight so i could gain those extra grams to win the lightest, thinest and best smart phone. so i think it was more for this achevement rather than the quality of materials. i think if you look at it from this point of view i think they have done really really well to get the weight down but still maintain a fairly (not top) high standard of phone while filling it with amazing new tech. iv had it about a week now and i still cant get over how good the screen is! i was out yesterday in bright direct sunlight and could still see it very very clearly.
ill have some videos up soon of it recording in 720p and also 1080p just so good!

Had a HTC Desire, Now have an Xperia Play,
I'd say the Xperia is the superior product. SIgnal, battery, design, all better. But that's just my thoughts.
Yeh well it is a later generation phone though - but I think most reviews I've seen would place the S2 above the Arc (generally seen as the SE current flagship).
Like you say though it is all subjective and most new phones now are awesome anyway...shouldn't really be called phones or smartphones now should they??

Sony Ericsson Arc versus Samsung Galaxy S2 its like both gladiators on the battlefield ie smartphone market so shall we bet on... umm obviously Samsung Galaxy S2 ..lol frm the reviews it would be beneficial to buy Galaxy S2...
ARC, I've never liked Sony but I s blown away when I had a play a few weeks ago.
It's nice

I was going to get the sensation but went for the S2 in the end. It's awesome, pleased I went for it.

After the latest update I'm now getting decent battery life, moderate use will see me going a day without charging. When you get the phone though get rid of the samsung apps, especially the social one, it drains the battery and is just generally crap.
What's the social app thing do?
Also when you got yours, how did you export all your contacts in from your old phone? I'm on HTC at the moment so can't really use the software via my PC I think....or is there any generic software you can use etc which you know of mate?

It's a crappy software that samsung use for the likes of facebook etc. It constantly wants to update everything, so destroys the battery.
Is it an android phone you're on just now? If so all your contacts should be stored on your googlemail (gmail) account, so once you start using the galaxy S you can sync your contacts to the new phone.

Ok, I just went onto Google mail now and manually typed in my contacts...filtering out all the rubbish contacts I've built up I was only left with 70 people I'd actually consider calling!
Ro55o, presumably there is an option on the S2 to just import all GMail contacts, as you can do with Facebook contacts to my current hero?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure all it took was for me to put in my googlemail account on the phone and it sync'd all my contacts, can't remember actually doing anything else. There is an option to link everyone to their facebook profiles as well, so it's the profile pic that comes up when they phone etc
edit - I just checked the phone and there are a few options, sync contacts, merge with google and import/export from sim card.

Ok just got the phone, Sohrob or anyone else can anyone advise??
1. Can't seem to setup my Hotmail account on it for some reason - how do I do this? Either through the "Add Account" or through the Hotmail app (that says my password is wrong, but it isn't?!)
Ok just seen I can push emails to my phone for "just" £5 a month...surely you can access Hotmail for free, surely?!?
2. I don't think the phone came with an SD card...if so is it worth getting one? It says I have almost 12gb of USB memory...what the hell is that?
3. How do I add a lock screen?
Thanks!
Loving the phone so far otherwise.

on apps you should have a a gmail icon and also an email icon.
Using the email icon simply out in your add and password, it took me a few attempts but now it works a treat.
The phone is 16gb so i aint bothered for an sd card.
For lock screen you just use the power button on the right of thephone.
