Was looking at the Sony Ericsson Phones and found this to be the cheapest arc by far.

    I have an Incredible S and my girlfriend has the XPeria Arc. After playing with them both, here are some things I'd personally base my decision on.

    Size - I prefer the smaller size of the Incredible S, but this is obviously personal preference. In every day use I don't really notice the small amount of extra real estate of the Arc visually, but I do notice the extra stress it places on my thumb to reach around it.

    Build quality - Incredible S feels like it's made out of metal and feels super sturdy (and is actually heavier). I find the Arc a bit plasticy in comparison.

    Viewing angle - The Arc seems to have a really shallow vertical viewing angle, and the horizontal viewing angle isn't as wide as I would like either. This is a huge thing for me, and is the main reason (apart from the HTC SenseUI) why I'd choose the Incredible S over the Arc. I love the screen on the IS.

    Interface - The Arc's interface is super slick. The fastest stock UI I've seen on an Android phone. It definitely beats the IS on speed, but you do have the awesome (IMO) SenseUI if you get a HTC phone, so that's just personal preference of the trade off.

    Personally I'd get the Incredible S again if I had the choice.

    Umm, the Arc is not the same phone as the Arc S. They are different models.

  The ARC has a slower processor chip speed compared with Arc S, also this model is not the NextG compatible i.e. 850Mhz spectrum. Otherwise is fairly decent price.

  I am seriously considering this phone but the small amount of internal memory (320MB) worries me. I have a MyTab and constantly getting "memory full" warning, so have to delete apps to keep it running (some apps still can't be moved to micro sd card). Can anyone who has this phone share their experience regarding the internal memory and whether it is enough, thanks.

    I have the Arc S, and according to GSM Arena, it also has 320mb (but i have 420mb)

    I still have 70mb free, you can always use App2SD to move the Apps from using internal memory to the MicroSD card

    I would say its enough for me and I have 135 apps downloaded, however I can easily uninstall all my games(as i do not play them)
