arc has such a delay

[#1]

I've owned 2 arc's and the same problem arises , the phone always hangs when bringing up any conversation, well actually when you try to do anything. Before this problem came it was perfect except for a faulty speaker, and i recommended it to 2 co-workers and now they are having the same problems , not sure if there is a fix or all these units ready for the trash? was'nt sure if others are findig this, for me to bring up a text it sometimes takes 20 seconds to load . not sure what to do but being in my business i need a phone i can count on.

20 seconds is certainly too long. Of course I hear many different concerns about many different products, but I can't say the speed of the Xperia arc is one of those concerns.

You're sure they have the latest software updates? How many applications are downloaded? I assume it worked alright for a time, so we need to isolate what happened.

I have the same delay issue with my Xperia Arc. Even Samsung Galaxy Spica is works smoother than mine.

I hope next OS Upgrade will fix this issue.

The phones are fully updated with the latest software, I don't have many applications installed (8).

I've even deleted the ones i don't use and closed the others under running services, always the same result , this is my second phone to do this and the second one which has lost the primary speaker.

Finally got update for version 2.3.4. My phone has become much more faster and stable.

Thanks to Sony Ericsson Team.
