It was my first Android phone and I had it for 1 month. Coming from the old SE P1i. I tried several phones mostly the Samsung models but this one was passion at first sight. Very fluid on touch, fast response, batery holds 2 to 3 days for my use (some phone calls and pictures). Much less if I go with the WiFi and games. It feels well buid and robust (not like the plastic feel on the Samsungs). Sound is supperb for phone calls but internal speaker laks a bit of boost for music listening. Very nice pictures under low light (with some noise but really usable). WiFi connection is good. Very nice phone and I'm very happy with the choice!!

Disagree vehemently with other reviews.
If you are considering purchasing an Experia Arc, think twice. Sony Ericcson do not properly support this phone with after service.
Two weeks after I got the phone the battery wouldn't charge. I was told the issue was a lifted pin in the mini USB and that it was user error and wouldn't be covered under warranty. Took over 3 weeks for the part to arrive to enable the phone to be fixed and $110. Next day the phone needed charging and wouldn't. A pin in both the mini USB and the cable had lifted and yep you guessed it, Sony Ericcson denied all responsibility - same story "user errror not covered under warranty".
This was despite the backing of the authorised repairer who also pointed out to the company that the mini USB plug was square not like typical ones that have one side of the plug which is wider.
Ironically, I bought a cheap $30 Sony Ericcson Cedar to tie me over while other being fixed and its mini USB is your typical one.
