Pros
Inexpensive. Zippy Tegra 2 processor. High-res screen. Solid connectivity options with USB, HDMI ports. Good media-specific apps and functions. Cons
Comparatively large and heavy. No 3G or 4G options. Front-facing camera isn’t optimally angled. Honeycomb isn’t yet a mature app platform. Bottom Line
Acer’s Honeycomb tablet, the Iconia Tab A500, has similar strengths and weaknesses to its direct competitors, but its $450 price is easier to swallow than some others.
Sony might have redeemed themselves in the mobile phone department after the Xperia X series with the new Xperia Arc. This phone is sharp, dynamic and snappy. The large 4.2 inch display with the mobile Bravia engine displays amazing picture unrivaled by most phones on the market.
With Android OS the phone is basically an open playing field equipped with the latest and hottest apps and features.

This is a question which runs thought lots of peoples minds when purchasing their first or next Android powered phone and I have had some inquiries so here we go; HTC Desire HD vs Google Nexus S – The Showdown!
Similarities
To be honest, both these phones are incredibly amazing. They have all the features you can find in a mobile phone currently and either would be a great choice. It really comes down to personal preference. On the exterior the Desire HD has a larger screen however the Nexus S has a Super Amoled vs a Amoled giving the Nexus S a more vibrant picture. Both phones feature a 1000 MHz Samsung Hummingbird Cortex A8 processor. Although the Desire HD has an addition 256MB of ram it is eaten up by the feature rich HTC Sense environment therefore both phones run at par memory-wise. The only added feature to the Nexus S is the emerging NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. So here is the breakdown comparison.
