Yeah..I also hope so..Bcs my sister has also been affected by this.Her phone sometimes restarts by itself man...Sometimes she even has to take out the battery and restart the phone..But one thing is that the performance of other things like multi-tasking and multi-touch in browsers is damn powerful and nice...Oh ya I just forgot to tell that there is a new update for the X10..Go and read up by clicking this link.http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x10_update-news-2702.php

Off Topic.

The thread will be more useful if you keep to the topic of bug fixes for the next update.

Bug Fix / Wish List for next update after 2.3.3
Wish
Add support for BBC iPlayer downloads - support WMDRM10 or OMADRM2 - Sony ref – 90512394
Bug
With user guide - Sony ref 90475230
Bug
When connecting with PC companion, handset/PC companion reporting different battery levels - Sony ref 90431244
Update from Sony, current PC Companion (Ver 2.01.192) is passive software and the current Android 2.3.3 does not feed the data to the program, meaning unless there is a change in the future to Android or PC companion the battery true battery level will not be shown in PC Companion when connecting an Android handset.
Wish
That the icons did not reorder/rearrange themselves when the phone is powered off and on. Other forum posts seem to indicate that this is a bug, however Sony have advised me that the device is working as designed!

If you are going to monitor this tread i´m going to copy/paste other time:

XPERIA ARC:

Hello everyone, I know sony is listening to us, in the spanish forum  htcmania.com(http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=217923)  we have made a list of  new or old bugs that have not been solved with  the new firmware 2.3.3. and suggestions for new updates.
List of issues:

- When you restart the phone or remove the SD, the apps installed on the SD doesn´t maintain the own order.

-When you call in GSM mode only, the sound is choppy on calls(breaks in sound). In WCDMA does not occur.
-Sony Ericsson home crashes and issues related to the SD and the detection of apps installed on it.
-When you're making a call when you hang up the phone is not locked,   however if the other person with you are talking hang up the phone is   locked, why this? This doesn´t allow to see the call timing.

-In USB transfer mode, half of the time you connect the phone to the pc nothing appears or occur. (In my case win7 x64)
-There is no automatic brightness option in the menu screen.

-The   widget on/off backlight since 2.3.3 doesn´t remember an intermediate   brightness. For example: If you have the brightness on 60% when you  push  the widget it turns to 0%. When you push for a second time the   brightness go to 100% instead of remember 60% value. This doesn´t  happen  on 2.3.2.

(Suggestion): Add intermediate values to this widget. For example 0,25,50,100%
-The percentage of battery grows with the phone unplugged.

(suggestion)Possible option to calibrate the battery

-When   you restart the phone or turn it on , the last missed calls appear in   the notification bar even if you have deleted it previously.
-Force   Close, appears in the gallery sometimes. In addition, when you have a   lot of images in the gallery every time you open it, the phone needs to   load, however if you have a few images the phone only needs to load  the  first time you open the gallery.
-Random reboots(software) and   reboots caused because the battery doesn´t make a good contact with  the  pin contacts(hardware), this cause the phone to reboot with small   socks(for example when you leave the phone into the table). I have   solved this putting a thin carton that push up the battery against the   pin contacts.This is the reboot by little shock i´m talking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KScE8-eXuIk
-The album covers doesn´t appear or only appear some   of them. The solution is to erase and re-copy the music folder (or try   to simply rename the music folder think it also works) and restart the   phone. Now the covers are shown.
- (Suggestion) Make an option in   the bluetooth widget to make visible the bluetooth,  otherwise if you   use the widget you have to enter in adjustments to make it visible for  a  few seconds making the widget useless.
- (Suggestion): When you   install a game like eternal legacy, many of the music files, videos and   images then appear in the gallery. Creation of specific folders whose   content is the only one who you wants to appear in the gallery.
-   (Suggestion): More widgets in the launcher of the arc as meteorology,   the screen off,  flash on/off, battery % and so on. (Like the app   extended controls).

-(Suggestion): Possibility to select the compression or quality of the photos taken by the camera.

Could you add xLOUD feature to Xperia arc?  I know it is software-based as seen in Xperia Ray.
