Help to choose between phones.

So Im thinking of buying a new phone soon, but cant choose which one. I've picked out a few that I like. They're not from the same price range but that does'nt matter to me if they can do the same for me. So I've chosen
-HTC Sensation,
-Samsung Galaxy S2,
-Xperia Arc S,
-Incredible S.
I also know that they can have some bugs and glitches, like Sensation having the restarts and unresponsive screen and stuff. I would like to hear from the users of these phones if these are quite common problems or if they are fixed or there is a fix for them. Or maybe you can suggest other phones from this price range that is good.
I would go for the Arc S right now as I havent seen that serious problems with it.
 
S2 would be my choice.. You won't see reports of serious problems with the Arc S because it hasn't been officially released yet (maybe just pre orders), so basically, no one owns one yet, so how can anyone complain about problems?
 
Or....You could do what I did. When it was time to upgrade, I dropped my smartphone (droid) and got a plain old cell phone (no extra anything) and bought a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0. I'm paying the monthly minimum for the phone, and nothing for the SGP5. The SGP5 has everything that the top smartphones have....without the phone chip. (it's wifi only)

Every day I'm thankful I made the change. Ridiculous battery life, too.

What?! Arc S isnt released yet? Really? Gsmarena says that it has been released in September 2011, and also from the operator Im going to buy it from shows it on their list for sale (Link to their page. Scroll down a bit.) (the last phone in the Sony Ericsson tab). So Im pretty sure that it has been released and not just preorders.
 
Oh, sorry I was thinking of Xperia S, not Xperia Arc S.

Anyway, Arc S has the weakest hardware among all the phones you listed.
 
Ok. Well Im not planning to do some really cpu and memory needy stuff. Probably some internet browsing, music, maybe some games. So I might not need such powerful phones but still they are on my list of "do want". And is really Arc S weaker than HTC Incredible S? Anyways Im considering to buy the Arc S as the seller recently dropped the price a bit. But I cant decide for sure as I want the GS2 too. :S
 
If we're talking hardware really, the Arc S is an overpriced Samsung Galaxy Plus with less internal memory by quite a bit (16gb to 300mb) but a better camera by far.

So personally I'd rather consider a Sensation or a Galaxy R, better hardware at that price range but cheaper than sgs2 or Sensatio XE. But pricing may differ in your country.
