    • If you have a real phone why did you comment from an iPhone?

    • An iPhone is a joke of a device. Enjoy your “real phone”, while smart people enjoy better performing, more functional, open market devices. Arc > your G4 by and far.

  4. downloaded this 2 days ago. works great, boot time is A LOT faster and battery life has improved greatly. Really like the notifications they added to lock screen too. I was thinking of rooting and loading stock android but i’ll stick with this… for now :)

  5. I’m kinda surprised at the speed this was released. I don’t have an ARC, but it looks like SE. learned from their mistakes.

    Enjoy gentlemen (and women)

    • Because 2.3.4′s only (major) difference is NFC support (which the Xperias lack anyways) and Google Talk with Video (which can be installed on any 2.3.x anyways: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D7WjyQSRkA&hd=1).

      Sony even ported the security patches from 2.3.4 into their build of 2.3.3, rendering GingerBreak (one-click rooting) useless. (However, OTA updates from a rooted 2.3.2 maintain root.)

  7. OK, totally out of context, but Rogers? Can you send some love for us, old X10 owners? I’m still on a 2 years contract, and don’t want to pay like crasy for a new phone. So… pwetty please, can you give us the 2.3 update for the X10? I know you can do it!

    Thanks!

    • Great news, thanks! But, my question remains. Will Rogers give us the update? ‘Cause, I don’t want to have to root my phone to get it. (It’s only because I don’t know how, and I’m probably too lazy to learn how to!)

    • Rooting isn’t required. Flashing wipes and installs a new firmware… hence it’d be pointless to root a phone, then flash.
