So what do you think about them Uli?

Thanks Uli.

The Arco S seems nice. I checked the link for a couple of minutes and it seems like the same all from SONY... No innovation again... It doesnt seem like is going to make it in the US either.

For some reason I couldnt open the White Paper, what version of Bluetooth does it have?

I think if it s priced bellow $500 and with ICS out of the box it may do well. If it is released with GB at $700 and a bag of malfunctions and problems... it will be another classic disappointment from SONY.

I like that they are water resistant, but I can't find any info on RAM, which CPU they are using GPU etc. any info regarding this?

I must say I find it appalling that Sony has announced a new flagship merely 3 months after the launch of the Xperia S, when other companies have a 12-16 month product cycle on their flagship devices.  Although similar spec-wise, the addition of a water resistant design, larger battery and ICS out of the box make the Xperia S feel like an early prototype with it's display and camera problems.

I still want the Xperia GX, I want to sell my Xperia S as soon as the GX it's available, the S its a great phone but I really like the Arc's design and this (GX) is the new Arc :smileyhappy:. Perhaps sony should release less phones and focus on what they have, its great that users have many options BUT what's the point if they have a LOT of issues and are not updated to the latest update.

just look at this sexy Xperia GX

I'm currently reading Steve Jobs' biography and a couple of quotations that stood out for me were:

"Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do, that's true for companies, and it's true for products."

"We believe in saying no to thousands of projects so that we can focus on the few that are meaningful to us."

I think Sony could learn something from this.

[Uliwooly]

oh snap, yeah there are few things from apple that I wish Android and Sony could take from and improve, like updates, as you pointed out, focusing on fewer products but make them kickass (I don't know if it has another connotation in other countries but it's not an insult)

i would skip the gx, its released in Q3 with the same processor the xperia s has, when people were saying the xperia s was outdated and shold have quad core i disagreed but for a phone that is out in late 2012 it soulh have a higher speed processor thant the xperia s, the only higher spec is the 13mp camera, not even a bigger battery to power the bigger 4.6" screen, which means worse battery performance than the s, i just dont see that one taking off to be honest,

looks good but insides are 2011 spec

ontop it only has 16gb storage with no sd slot, i have used over 20gb in my xperia s, ppi isnt as good as the s either,
