Xperia arc hits UK pre-order, points to April release
The Sony Ericsson Xperia arc has finally appeared for UK pre-order. Those looking to pick-up the handset sim-free will have to splash-out £459.99 according to Play.com. Whilst this does sound a bit steep, it’s worth remembering that the Xperia X10 was £70 more expensive when it first came up for pre-order over a year ago.
The listing does not give any indication what colour you would be pre-ordering, but the picture is that of the Midnight Blue handset. The site has also given an indication of a release date, pointing to April 1st. This would put it in line with the release date we were told (towards end of Q1/early Q2). What are your thoughts on price? Do you think it’s too expensive or pretty much as you expected?

play.com is much more expensive when it comes to phones, then other websites. I would say it will be around £400 mark.
I didn't realise the Xperia arc was the X12, I was wondering which number it would correspond to.

It's not X12. It's LT15. We just call it that way because we supposed it's the X10 successor.

It's cheaper than I was expecting. I normally buy my sim-free phones from Carphone usually, but it if I can buy cheaper elsewhere. I doubt if Expansys will be selling it any cheaper than play.com as Expansys seem to be more expensive than anyone else. |

Carphonewarehouse has the silver version as an exclusive so all other sellers will have the blue one available.

I don't see the silver version as an exclusive. The blue is better.

@avmaxfan you'r right i read to "fast" did't notice it said playback to only recording. hmms but then my other quesition will be (not that i know if you know the answer) if i play an 1080p movie will it just resize or is the cpu to weak? ( i have alot of 1080p movies in my libary, that's why i am asking)
Edit, 450 is cheap, i thought it would be more like 630£ (but here in sweden acording to www.prisjakt.se the cheapest site is around 540£)

It's fairly cheap when you consider that the x10 in Carphone is still £399  I got my x10 White for £334  Most phones lose value quite fast but yes Play.com stupid prices they charge like they charged £499 for the c901

Why would you recycle it!? Are you crazy!? Those websites are meant for old phones not an X10 which isn't event a year old! Just flog it on ebay you'll easily get £250+ dependant on condition and accessories.
Hell I'll buy your X10 of you for £170!
