Default Since you've had the Arc for a while now...are you happy with it or do you regret it?

Now that its been out a bit do you still love the Arc or wish you bought something else?

I am getting my new phone tomorrow finally, going to stomp into Rogers and pick it up cash...but I am still STILL stuck : /

I am trying to decide between the Xperia Arc, Xperia Play, and Nexus S...

So you guys still happy with the Arc? I am leaning towards the Arc the most but don't want another x10 mistake : (

Thanks

Happy, happy, happy. :)

Don't regret it at all, only thing I find annoying is the massive amount of Bloatware... but that could easily be sorted out if I wasn't just too lazy to work myself through the root thread.

Oh I should say that I plan on keeping the device stock.

I have the Arc since the beginning of May and I'm really happy with my Arc.

I had the Captivate before. Still like it more than the arc. Loved the feel of the device, felt solid (the arc feels cheap at first since it way lighter and the back cover is made of plastic) and of course, the S-AMOLED is beautiful, no matter what some fanboys here have to say.

Still, the arc is a performing device, a sexy one at that and very comfortable to use. The Exmor camera is sick and the screen displays real, beautiful colors.

By the way, Rogers apparently announced they will have the Infuse 4G so you might want to add that device on your list.

I'm still happy with my arc. It is still the best branded android phone in the market in my point of view.

That is fine keep it stock rooting and you may brick your phone! But you should look and make sure that you will be happy look on you tube and see what is out there? If your looking for battery life look into htc sensation or galaxy s 2
