Sony Eric is churning out some NICE phones.
The Xperia line is really starting to shine. I love the Arc LT15a. Works great on AT&T with 3.5G HSDPA data. Not carrier crippled like so many other Android phones. For example, you can install unsigned apps (like Amazon AppStore). USB tethering and WiFi hotspot work right out of the box (unlike Atrix). Works fine with MS Exchange (does not have the Gingerbread/Exchange bug like Dell Streak Mini 5). HDMI works as it should, simply mirroring the entire display to an HDTV (unlike Sprint EVO). The 854x480 16:9 aspect display is perfect for watching movies (unlike 800x480 Inspire 4G). Real hardware keys up front that wake up the display so you don't need the tiny power button on the top edge (unlike Infuse 4G). Very fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 8255 processor (not the old 8250 incorrectly listed in the specs). No proprietary connectors. So thin. So light. Cool accessories. My only wish is for a front facing camera. Overall I like the Galaxy S2 better but Arc is so much cheaper. Keep up the good work Sony!Pros:Cheaper than Galaxy S2 but just as sexyThin and light with a big displayLarge, real hardware home key that wakes the displayHDMI output that mirrors the entire UINothing crippled by the carrierGingerbread 2.3.4Cons:No front facing cameraSingle core CPU (though plenty fast)Tiny power button (though rarely needed)

Not the best or the worst.
I bought this device from another website and this review is based on my 3 months ownership with the Arc (LT15A).Pros:. Unique design (Does not have the iPhone-esque look).. Really good speaker, especially when XLOUD enabled.. Top notch camera (Behind N8's for sure though).. Beautiful screen, great viewing angle indoor and outdoor.. Very light.. No known software-related problems (i.e: dead pixel, constant restarts...etc).. LT15A should came with an 8GB memory card preinstalled to your device, courtesy of Sony Ericsson.. Mini-HDMI portCons:. No Gorilla glass. Battery is somewhat terrible - Moderate internet browsing and listening to music would bring it down to around 50% at the end of the day.. Single core comparing to other high end smartphone with dual cores out there.. No front-facing camera - Because of this the Arc will not be able to enjoy the sweet "Face Unlock" function in the Ice Cream Sandwich update.. Tiny power button and camera buttonP.S: Ignore the idiots that posted negative reviews just because they had lousy shopping experience.

good
The overall condition is good but the outlook is not as good as I expect. Maybe the previous ones are better than this.

Great Phone
It one of the better phones of Sony Ericsson, and the Android it's the better OS in the world. Not have any doubt about buying this phone

Triumph of form over function
There is an issue that other arc owners have been reporting which is evident in my unit - a jostling or bumping of the phone causes it to reboot. One owner in the U.K. indicated the solution is to place foam disks inside the battery cover to keep the battery terminals securely attached when the phone is handled roughly (the battery cover curves away from the battery as part of the arc for which the phone is named). Unfortunately this has not helped.Other than this nuisance rebooting (which occurs at least twice a day for me, usually when I put the phone down on a hard surface), the phone is a great demonstration vehicle for Android. The newest arc has a dual core processor, which is definitely desired as the single core often struggles.
