I was so confused while selecting a cellphone at range of 20+ K. I was very confused in Samsung Galaxy S+, LG Optimus 2X and SE Xperia Arc. But finally I chose Xperia Arc even though it was costlier. I was very happy that I chose Xperia Arc but when I started using it, it disappointed me very badly.. There are some issues I have with this cell....

1)Why there is no in built 'Swype' keyboard whereas it is available in all other android phones of Samsung.?

2)Why there is no in built task manager where we can free the occupied ram and check the ram usage???

3)Why the hell there is no provision to add birthday to the contact?? SE has provided to enter hell lot of other info such has company details and all but didnt they have brain to have birthday details??

4)Why the hell there is no provision to delete multiple threads of a sms at single time? Why we need to delete it one by one? it is quite annoying...

After seeing all these issues, I feel that I should have gone for Samsung Galaxy which is less costlier and has good battery backup..

Hey frnds,

now I am facing a new problem from last some days. My GPRS signal keeps dropping every time despite it is showing full network coverage. Initially I thought it is related to the service provider and not the handset but when I checked the same in Samsung handset, it is showing full strength signal.. I m not getting what to do... I reseted my cell twice.. Got the GPRS setting from the provider but the problem still persists..

how about settings -> sony ericsson -> settings download or a new SIM card?

Frnd,

I tried all these options after reading all the posts related to this issue occuring in Xperia Neo V and some other handsets and after that only I decided to post it here.. After changing the network mode, it shows the signal for some time but after some time it again vanishes.. Do I need to see the service center? But what will they do? they will may be reset the handset.. thats it..
