In general, the Arc S is an excellent piece of work - the generously huge screen, the ability to transfer files easily through USB, the numerous Android apps that I can pick and choose to use, and of course the great pictures that I have taken of my children using this camera.
However, it's the niggling bits that got me irritated and wanting to look around for a new model: The especially tiny camera button (which I had identified as a potential problem) which is almost impossible to trigger and the close proximity of the camera sensor to my left hand which gets blocked from time to time. And of course the lack of a QWERTY keyboard.
I'm eyeing the 808 Pureview but considering that it's only offered by Singtel and I'll need to top up more than $400 for it without contract, I don't think I can stomach the cost.
So, after looking around, there're actually two (old) phones that I'm considering now: N8 and E7.
I'm tempted to get the N8 for the camera but the ability to use a QWERTY keyboard with the E7 is also extremely enticing. I've missed the QWERTY on my old phone, the SE Vivaz Pro but am still uncertain if I can live without one.
So: N8 or E7... I guess it'll be up to my budget to decide for me.
