Xperia Arc lands in the US, going for 600 bucks unlocked

08 July, 2011

After struggling a bit with their first few Android smartphones, the Xperia Arc was the first proper Android phone to come out of Sony Ericsson’s stables. Packing the latest version of Android in a sleek, curvy body with a quality 8 megapixel camera and a 4.2-inch Reality Display, the Xperia Arc was a fine all-round device.

But until now the device was not available in the US but now Sony Ericsson has come to its senses and has launched the device stateside in a SIM-free version. The unlocked Xperia Arc will set you back by $600, which is fair considering the specs of the device but if you ask us you should rather wait for the Galaxy S II, unless you have a thing for curved backs or Sony Ericsson.

A matter of expensive or not is indeed relative, but a matter of overpriced or not isn't. And the Arc is definately, undoubtedly, well overpriced. Though not nearly as overpriced as the iphones. Caps 'n specswise, it should be compared to the origin...
