Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc

If you’re looking forward to the newest SEX phone – we mean Sony Ericsson Xperia phone – then CMKCellphones have just added the Xperia Arc into their pricing database. We’ve already previewed the phone during the Sony Summer Hotspots event held recently at Megamall Megatrade hall, and we were mostly impressed. Slated for release this month, the unit was priced originally at PHP32,000 then dropped down to around PHP29,000. Now CMKCellphones have added it into their list for the quite attractive price of PHP 26,300. (Credit: ianster02 of PXP for finding it on CMK)

The Android 2.3 Gingerbread device sports a 4.2” 854×480 resolution backlit LCD screen, 1ghz processor, and 8MP Camera with a special Exmor-R sensor at f2.4. Notably designed for its thin 8.7mm profile and arched back, the Xperia Arc is Sony’s top-line phone – at a decidedly low pricetag it seems. With older competitors just a few thousand pesos below it, this can be a pretty attractive proposition to new Android buyers. What’s more, the Xperia Neo should be out soon as well, and that should be an extra few k’s cheaper than this one too.

Sony seems to be back in fighting form with the new Xperia lineup, and we’ll look forward to finding opportunities to give them a whirl ourselves. CMKCellphones list the Xperia Arc as “New; Order Today,” which sometimes means they still don’t have units on hand, but we’ll confirm it with them tomorrow. Till then, we wait!
