'Xperia Arc S' of Sony Ericsson was shown in IFA tradeshow at Berlin early this year. It does not seem to be much different from the earlier Arc model. The phone is likely to be on launch earlier than expected.

It was presumed that it will surface in October. Sony Ericsson wants to release it even by the final week of September.

Clove has shown the phones in two colours in their websites. More are likely to follow. The cost is around GBP 348 inclusive of taxes. It may work out to be cheaper in the USA. Interestingly it is cheaper than the original Arc phone, at least for the time being.
