Reviewer: Josephdesousa - London, UK

The sony ericsson arc S looks a nice phone but is a very important thing missing & that is no amoled super screen which makes the phone less attractive for buyers & also perhaps the body built on perhaps like the iphone apple 4S that would make the phone very splendido white & black colours are fine it would be nice to see soon a phone as I mention here. Thanks josephdesousa.
