Ive been noticing on other forums that some people are commenting on the
SE-Arc and the things shown below ,
No smart dialing
Display doesn’t have auto brightness control
Display has poor viewing angles
Micro SD card slot is not hot-swappable
No LED notification
any one with the Arc , what do you think ?
My comments:
1. Gorgeous brilliant display. Cannot comment on viewing angles, as I always look at it face-on.
2. Excellent call quality, several people commented that it was perfectly clear, had no "cell phone" tinny sound whatsoever.
3. Good speakerphone quality.
Bad:
1. VERY SLOW. Constantly got messages that apps had crashed, did I want to continue or report. Sometimes couldn't even reboot the phone without doing a battery pull, this was a daily occurrence. I wiped and reinstalled a ton of stuff several times, to no avail.
2. SE Timescape app not really useful - for me -
3. Could not figure out how not to continually sync my Facebook/LinkedIn/Google contacts so that I would only get my Gmail contacts in my address book. No matter what I tried, I got all of them and didn't want any except Google in my contact list. SE and my carrier (Rogers) tech support had no clue how to do that.
Verdict? I returned it. Totally frustrating phone. But I hear the Arc S which is due out shortly is going to address these issues. Stay tuned!
