I know plenty of people are asking moving to smartphones as the sheer number of them on the store shelves continues to grow, but how satisfying the experience is across the range can be a very different thing.

The Android handset market seems from face value to be dominated by HTC who I class as the ’90’s Nokia of today – they are churning out products in every category, every price point and with various featuresets. This is a good strategy.
Sony Ericsson recently told me they wanted to lead the Android space, and their Sony XPERIA Play – the Playstation Phone – was a good start to a path to that goal.
However, when I got my hands on the Sony XPERIA arc – I was blown away.
