UPDATE:

UK retailer Clove has just placed the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S for pre-order giving us an idea of the launch price and release date. It says that the first stock is expected on Monday 26 September for £349.99. Clove has both the Midnight Blue and desirable Pure White available to pre-order.

Ironically, this is a lower price than the Xperia arc is currently selling for on their site (£358.80). However, we’re sure the Xperia arc will drop in price accordingly shortly after the arc S has launched. The Xperia arc S is identical to the original in every way apart from sporting a souped-up 1.4GHz single-core processor versus the 1GHz processor in the Xperia arc.

via Xperia Blog

hmm...this does seem pretty decent, they could really shift a lot of this phone at this price, and it could be quite a big hit. Interestingly the phone has no changed from a high end to mid segment. So can we expect that the duo will be their new flagship highend which could be realised sometime this year (if this is being realised this month)? Yeah probably wishful thinking.

I think they should have come up with something new.
I still like my Arc and I won't ditch it for the Arc S.
I just overclock my Arc from currently 1.2GHz to 1.4GHz and then I'll have a better Arc S (I removed bloatware, so my Arc should be faster then).

But I like the fact that they didn't change more than the CPU, so noone can see that we have an "old" Arc.

Okay, I mad at this for first time I saw it but actually can't blame because it marketing way and I think play safe and less suffer from competitors such as HTC and Samsung.

HTC will have later model of Sensation : higher clock timing (1.2 < 1.5Ghz) but same chipset and audio driver designed by Beats team also included Beats by Dre headset as well at premium price? by Q4

Samsung also has made an announcement for S2 in American market and it got faster clock as well as bigger screen (1.2 < 1.5Ghz and 4.29 < 4.5'')

Just made another video comparing the arc S against the arc and acro.

The arc S is slightly ahead, but it is coming really close to the dual cores out there.

After reading the reviews and articles about Arc S, all the comments on this topic is all about why only CPU upgrade? And from what I see, it could be only the android OS future upgrade capabilities. I'm sure Arc S will be able to handle android jelly better than Arc. No doubt ice cream sandwich will run smooth on Arc but since android OS upgrades happens every year, they don't want to repeat anything like X10 again. This could be a possibility, otherwise the specs are same.

It's a similar ploy to the x10 HD; incorporating o/s upgrade(2.3.4 in this case) and slight ui changes. Same proc., just officially overclocked(I normally run mine at 1.5) and marketed. It's not aimed at existing arc owners, all these and more can be flashed via flashtool, fastboot or adb; it's aimed at new customers who see 'galaxy sII' or 'desire HD' etc, whereas to the marketing department sa lose out with just 'arc'. It's like when fuel injection was first introduced an 'i' was added after the model name and people took this to mean better performance, thereafter anything multiple products which had nothing to do with fuel injection had it added to imply they were better. Now it's S and HD... I've even got the 'v6 supercharge' script running on my arc, it hugely improves performance but it's got nothing to do with actual supercharging

Keep my eyes close about feedback for the arc S, I hope for materials improvement and not end up same ways as it predecessor.

chrome peeled is reluctant acceptable but cracked even small line is totally can't stand for me!

Waiting for the launch in India. I'm tired of using BB curve.

Though I've seen the videos and the UI is very snappy!
