How much is Xperia Arc?

Hello everyone,since xperia arc will soon be in market. Anyone know how much is this beautiful gadget? And.... is this Arc really works like advertised?
thanks.

Already on the release date topic there are prices mentioned but in Holland it will be 480 euro according to the website of my provider.
if it is really working as advertised...i hope I will find out within a month but the lucky ones who already tested the arc where quite happy with it....

O.I see. Thanks for the information. But still wait for the products in my country. Hope it will come soon.

Well, 480 euro seems like a bargain.

www.hi.nl is my provider...
Even stronger, I renewed my contract and get one for free. Which is quite common in The Netherlands. Well, I don't complain...

I just pre-ordered it on Amazon.de, including shipping is 462 Euro. At this point I think it is an acceptable price.
Actually they dropped it quite a lot from 549Euro it was until yesterday, perhaps they are expecting to have stock of it soon and are trying to have it sold out.

I placed my pre-order for €509. I could find it slightly cheaper at some other webshops, but I'll gladly pay a little more to get it from a store I know can be trusted!

If I may suggest,may be price around $350-$400 will be better. Hohoho.... it will acceptable,because no front camera and 3g video call feature.

Sony Ericsson really doesn't lower prices because a video call camera is missing, hardly anyone in their target group uses 3G video calls!

Amazon.de can be trusted, it's reliable and almost always has the best prices from all the Amazon shops.

2-3 days, 6€ plus 0.5€/Kg
for Italy is 5-9 days and same price
I'm actually thinking about it. I'd like it for the camera but maybe it has low memory, my X10 mini keeps "complaining" about it and I'd prefer something as 512 mb .
Or maybe I'll simply wait and see if there is enough interest here on xda
Edit: wrong price

What does 512mb memory has to do when there is apps2sd. Or do i miss something?

Maybe I was the one to miss something but I got some problems typically connected with low memory: launcher pro reloading, handcent totally laggy with few threads, ui lag when I make a phone call. I'm relatively new to app2sd. I still think that on such a phone they could put a standard 512 ram, my mini was 220 €.
It's the most interesting phone for me with the Xperia Neo and I think that Sony already received a lot of bad opinions with their decision to drop android development for the "old" Xperia family, hopefully they won't do the same mistake twice.

Still not sure when arc will be released in indonesia.waiting.....

That high? It probably depends on the the part of the world. Here, its roughly for €200

I also think it depends on the region. Here it is for around 200-250$.
And it can't be more expensive than S2.

Hmm,but as a saying goes,what makes a man a man,is to learn by your mistake
(I somehow got a funny feeling that the saying quoted above is not right,sorry for english is not my mother tongue..)
But at least it is good for us to have someone like you here..

I swear its true the x10 is very expensive here, so the reason must be its looks
And yes its more expensive than s2 unless you go to those little stores that seem to know more about phones

Seeing those prices makes me sad haha. Here in Australia everything is marked up ridiculously.
I saw a dhd recently for AU$500 outright. Ill need to look for an x10 outright to compare to you guys

In here it X10 cost 512 -576 dollar

Prices here suck, its like they put them at random, and SE phones are extremely xpensive only x10 mini is between 3 and 4 hundred
And the guys that sell them to yoy dont know squat about them, i always pretent to be clueless about phones just to hear what they says and i get stuff like
Sg note is replacing s2 or incredible s is the direct competition to sgs2 or x10 having a plasma screen and even worst that nokia the guy at multimax tried to pass as an android phone(quote: this is the new nokia with android, its a great phone an acording to nokia a complete redesign to the android interface)
So now i understand the wacky prices

Lol
I know its release price
And at that time its ads and popularity was very high at that time

I bought it for 30000 INR or around 600$ in may 10. It was the best phone available in the market at that time.

I'm still perfectly happy with my X10 with a custom firmware.
I won't replace it until I find a really good deal on a newer handset.

[Q] What phone to buy?

I have a Galaxy 3 i5801 and a Galaxy SL i9003 and i have been thinking to buy a phone in replacement of Galaxy 3. I have a budget which of 20-25 thousand. I have two phones on my mind the LG Optimus 2x and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. Please help me. If you have any other suggestions please reply.
NEEDS:
I need a phone with good xda support.
It should support jellybean.

Bye to the g3 community
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S II and just wanted to say bye to all the folks.

Then wait for new phones which will have ICS and later maybe jellybean.
Or go to your mobile provider and buy Galaxy Nexus on contract or something.
But if u want to buy now why don't you just buy Nexus S or Arc S ?

No contract system in my country yet. The Arc and Arc S are the same wonderful phones, but are a little under-powered in front of the GSII and other dual core phones. Thanks for your suggestion.

Hey, I have galaxy 3 now and was thinking of buying nexus S (i9023). Do you have any experience on this phone, your thoughts? And how is xda support for it, custom ROMs, apps and stuff like that?
Thanks!

Note 10.1 vs Xperia Tablet Z

Hi guys I was consider the idea of getting a tablet I would normally want a tablet as for media but I'm also a student so I came across note 10.1 and liked the s pen but recently I came across the xperia tablet z that is absolutely nice and it's a newer device the thing I'd that note 10.1 is a bit old and I'm don't want to throw a lot of money assuming the note successor will be very expensive, anyway right now there's a 50 dollars difference between the two wifi models so any suggestions?

Or, maybe you could wait for a bit and get the Note 10.1 after the new one comes out and lowers the older's price.

50 dollars difference between xperia Z and note 10.1?
oh my god! i just bought the note 10.1 (maybe it's old but it's great with good hardware). i just bought my note for 300 euro's (about 390 us dollars).(double discount i must say) the shop had it in discount and samsung itself gives a refund.
the Xperia Z here costs 500 euro's (about 650 us dollars).
that's a difference of 260 us dollars..

Galaxy Note 10.1 is more productive than Xperia Z because it has S-Pen and long usage time with a 7000 mAh battery.

i believe you but i was just stunned by the difference in price in other country's..
compared to the netherlands the xperia z is quit cheap and the note is very expensive in your country.

Go with the Note 10.1 or like someone suggested wait till the next one comes out and it usually drops 50 bucks more. If your in a rush the Xperia Z isn't that bad either.

Note 2 price drop

I m looking to buy new note 2 and because note 3 has been just released, I want to hear your opinion.
Will it be a price drop for older model anytime soon (1 month) or not?
At the moment I can get it from amazon (EU) for 425 eur.

For sure! Depending on your country the price tag is different. Here in Brazil it was costing 800 usd (incl taxes) some months ago and now its 600 usd it still somehow expensive but 200 usd off is always welcome, oh and for this price you have the option to pay in 10× of 60 usd, if you pay at once it would be even cheaper like 520 usd with discount.

Don't count on it. You will probably get the 7100 cheaper but the 7105?
Sometimes they cleverly let stock levels diminish, before release of the new model, to a level where demand actually outstrips supply hence higher prices.
Btw as you may guess from my name my previous Phone was an evo. There truly is no comparison between the two.

I paid 540 euros or 535, I forgot, in October of 2012. Right after it's release. It has only dropped 100 euros since then? Wow. Samsung loves to keep their devices up in price.
It will lower, but not more than another 15 euros or so. :-\ Sorry.
Look at the SGS2, still costs a hefty penny! Samsung wants you to see that it's not that big of a price difference from the SGS3 and buy that!

Keep an eye out on eBay, I picked up my N7105 for half the rrp price as it was 1 month old in mint condition with receipts.

Sadly, All samsung phone's price drop fast because they keep inventing new things S1 S2 S3 S4 , Note 1, Note 2,Note 3, Everytime they launch a new product, price of the previous model will drop.

I'd guess that note 2 won't drop as much as usual as note 3 is so expensive. ...
And not that much of an upgrade.
At least. .. Thats what I hope

I bought note 2 for 300euros, brand new xD

wait for note 3...its price drops way faster

Or maybe wait till the Note 4 price drops
Honestly you could be waiting forever you just need to buy whenever you need one
