Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S - Exclusive 4.5 5 50 50
just lv sony erricsson arc s ive had quite a few pay as u go phones i swore i wud never get a contract phone got mine 12mths ago i just lv it im 55 & i can use it so easly lv everything abt it will b getting another contract wen its up in 12mths time wudnt have any other phone now 08 November 2012
looks good,works well,plays well. Having never owned or used a mobile that did anything more than call or text, I was a bit apprehensive when opening my Arc. After a few hours getting to know it's features I was berating myself for waiting so long to buy it. I can now access my emails anywhere instead of waiting until I get home. Keep up-to-date with the goings on, on Facebook and surf the web whenever I like. I really really love the camera on the Arc! Brilliantly clear photos, store or share, crop, rotate and delete with a touch of my finger. This phone is the best fun I have had in ages... 13 October 2012
Great phone Had x8 before this and so happy with the arc it's ace.Quick and feature packed.The camera is a little tricky as the shutter button could do with being bigger but you can just tap the screen to take a photo so not to much of a problem.All in all very happy. 11 October 2012
The Camera is tip top fantastic. Cracking photo's.Downloaded app's easy to do. Battery life is what you make of it. slim. Easy to use. I really like using my phone as it's so easy to use. Bluetooth was hard at first but one you know it's easy. Best phone i have ever had. Your photo's are so clear. Downloading app's are quick and easy. Screen is large and better to read. Texting is fast and easy. I am on a contract and it works out cheaper for me than pay as you go. Alarm is fab. well it gets me up for work. That must be a good thing. E-mails fast. I would get this phone if you didn't know what to get. BRILLIANT. 05 October 2012
its a great phone it is a great phone, there was only a couple things i found a bit puzzling and that was the bluetooth it took me ages to figure out how to send and receive stuff by bluetooth but it didnt take me too long to figure that out. the camera on the phone is brilliant so is the video, i love the fact the phone has wi-fi on it. another brilliant thing on the phone is that you can change or choose how you lock your phone either pin/password or slide or pattern, so you dont accidently dial out or send messages as ive done in the past with other phones. and one other thing i love about the phone is the live wallpaper ie there is a screen with water on it leaves float down your screen and you touch the screen and it makes ripples 14 September 2012
Lovely phone, minor niggles Overall, I love this phone. To the point where I'm keeping it even though Orange appears to be unobtainable in my house, sigh... It fits in my hand beautifully, and I adore the camera, which was a prime reason for purchase. The only minor niggle I have is that GPS tagging on the camera is pretty random - it seems to have problems picking satellites up as fast as I need. Loading the GPS test app and always having that running before I start snapping seems to improve things. 09 August 2012
great phone great phone with average battery, if you don`t mind charge every day then there is nothing negative. great camera plus very good screen. a lot of applications + plenty to download. Like small pc. recommended! 07 August 2012
easy to use This phone is great, it looks good and is,light, fits in my pocket. My battery lasts me all day and I charge it at night, I listen to music and download apps which are good. The camera is amazing, the one thing that annoys me is when setting a picture as your wallpapet so I downloaded an app which makes it so much better. 29 July 2012
Excellent Phone, Really impressed with the functions and ease of use Having had an iPhone and Blackberry, I can honestly say I am very impressed wit the Arc S. Its responsive, easy to use. Its also a very stylish looking phone. The 3d camera is good fun and great for quick holiday snaps. Only down side like all large screen phones is the battery life. If your messaging or using facebook for a while. So keep it charging on your usb while your using laptop or at work. 18 July 2012
don't waste your money I brought this phone because it has great camera and memory but after using it for just one month it got so many faults especially the battery life I took it back to the store they sent it off to get fixed and after getting it back it still has the same problems. I would not recommend this phone to anyone. It is a waste of money 16 July 2012

Answer: 
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S uses a "micro usb" charger as per EU regulations. This means that you can use any micro USB charging cable from any other device, or any standard micro usb charging cable.

The handset can also be charged using a standard micro usb data cable by connecting it to a pc, laptop or games console.

I hope this helps

Great question mickebe

All android handsets come with access to "Google Maps" and "Google Nav" sat navigation and gps applications. These apps should come pre-installed on the handset and ready to use. These apps are free but will require an active data connection.

You can also purchase various other GPS and Sat Nav programs such as "Tom Tom" and "Co-Pilot" etc from the Google Play store on the handset itself.

Sony Ericsson sure have a penchant for shoving spangly tech into their smartblowers and never has this been so evident as with the Xperia Arc S. This supercharged version of the shuper-shexy Xperia Arc, takes all the top tech chops of the original, adds a splash of photographic muscle and wraps the whole lot in a gleaming white outer shell to produce a rather nifty handset.

1.4 GHz Scorpion processor 1.4 GHz Scorpion processor
4.2 4.2'' BRAVIA Display
8.1 Megapixel Camera 8.1 Megapixel Camera
Accelerometer Sensor for auto rotate Accelerometer Sensor for auto rotate
Adobe Flash 10 Support Adobe Flash 10 Support

Featuring a super-wide 4.2” backlit LED screen (beefed up with Sony’s Reailty Display tech AND powered along by the Mobile BRAVIA engine), you’ll struggle to find a smartphone that betters the visuals offered by this multimedia marauder. Android 2.3 makes for a cutting edge, app-laden user experience and a 1.4GHz processor ensures that everything you ask of it is done in the blink of an eye.

The technological wonderment doesn’t stop there though as the Arc S is crammed full of other cool stuff like the Exmor R sensor that lets you capture high-quality snaps and videos in poor light and some nifty Facebook integration that allows you to share those photos on Faceboo straight from the gallery. Add 1GB of storage and DNLA connectivity and you’ve got quite a handset on your, er, hands.
