Help with a phone choice

I'm in the market to get a contract smartphone to replace my N6300 and I've narrowed my choices between two phones:
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
The HTC Desire HD

I want help choosing, however because I suck at smartphones and there are multiple things to consider also.
I don't know anything about Sony Ericsson, just throwing that out there now
The HTC desire HD has an awful battery life, so I read, and I don't want to buy it on contract and be stuck with a phone that won't last the day for two years.
So therefore, I need help.
Contracts are:
HTC Desire HD: £20 a month - 500 Minutes - 5000 Texts - 500MB Data
Sony Ericsson Arc: £31 a month - 300 Minutes - Unlimited Texts - 1GB Data + 50MMS Bolt-on

Edit: There's also an interest in the xperia ray but I am uncertain as I have heard it's difficult typing and what not.
Edit Edit: I'm also open to any additional suggestions that you may have.

What I've learned is that the crappy ones last longer. Keep that in mind.

Saying this now, I hate apple.
Therefore, I will rule out iPhone suggestions.

I love my iPhone. Why anyone who could afford it wouldn't want one is beyond me.

I have the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (the PlayStation phone, if you will) and it works beautifully. I therefore recommend the Sony phone.

But I also know nothing of that phone, so I'm extremely biased here.

Saw the words HTC Desire; no other words in that post needed to be seen. Get that one.


edit: upon actually reading your post. I will now help you make an informed decision. In my hand right now, is a sony ericson xperia arc. No, seriously, that's the phone I have. The battery life; which you posed concerns about; yeah it's utter cocking shit. It lasts less than a full day, so i turn the brightness on it down. Outside that; Amazing phone.

However... It's no HTC Desire. I would trade for that phone in a ****ing instant; but rogers doesn't carry HTC phones.

Ah, but are you referring to the HTC Desire, or the HTC Desire HD.
I'm looking to get the latter.

considering the desire HD is just a better version of the desire; did that need to be asked in the first place?

Ha, yes.

I don't recommend getting the Xperia. It's gotten really bad reviews by a lot of the top electronic reviewers. HTC Desire HD sounds like it could use some work, so I suggest you do some more shopping before your final decision.
