Because it was better than an iPhone 4.
Now the Xperia S is better than an iPhone 4s !

It had buttons for games
That goes for my Xperia, for my main phone, its build quality, looks and specs, in that order.

What?
Are you some sort of dev or SE employee? AFAIK Android4.0 isnt out yet officialy for any Xperia models.
I wanted a hardware keyboard, and a good camera. Also didn't like the style that Samsung is using. I like my 3.7" screen, and the speaker is decent too.

Doubt it, I think you just received an update to your firmware, to Version 4. Just check your android version under your Phone settings?
Did you manage to root your device yet? Does your phone show up in Droid Explorer?
no not yet,think i still have to download some updates or something. my phone does shw up in droid explorer but when i connect there is nothing and cant do anything,also when i go into settings in droid explorer and click on sdk the program bombs out. but i wil try again later lol my data megs are gettn low.i also got rootcheck from the android market to check if my device is rooted or not...and its not.

Because of the Ray's size. The Galaxy was way too big and since I already have an iPad and sit in front of a laptop all day, it just didn't make sense getting that BRICK at all.

I'm considering getting the Xperia Arc. What's your general experiences with this phone? Is it as awesome as it looks? 
Supposedly it's not getting a new Kernel with the ICS update or something along those lines. Is that a big deal?
Pros and Cons of this phone vs other android phones?

The Arc gets a lot of support on the XDA forums, and there are custom kernels available. CyanogenMod supports it too, so no worries there. I don't have one myself, but sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have gone that way instead of the Pro.

My nokia E51 is really becoming a bit dated...
Why not arc s?? For some reason it is cheaper than the arc when u get it on

I have the Arc, and very happy with it !
I do ogle the speed of the newer models, but to be frank, I don't need it, mine is just fine.
