UK Deal: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S now available with Orange's £20.50/month contract at Phones4U

Posted on Oct 31, 2011 by MG1

Third-party phone retailer Phones4U has a great deal for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, offering the sexy smartphone for free with Orange’s 20.50 GBP per month plan. That money won’t get you too far though, but for some folks it could be a good enough solution – you get 200 voice minutes, 3,000 texts and 100MB of mobile data per month. Presuming you’re not calling a lot and rely mostly on Wi-Fi hotspots for mobile Internet, this plan could be just what you need. Otherwise — if you still want the Xperia arc S — you’ll have to pick some other plan with the phone.

Samsung Galaxy Note, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S available for pre-ordering in the UK

Posted on Sep 07, 2011 by MG1

Two newly announced Android smartphones, Samsung Galaxy Note and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, are already available for pre-ordering in the UK through Clove.
The online retailer asks 349.99 GBP (about $563) for Sony Ericsson’s baby, listing September 26th as the availability date. The device, which BTW is an upgrade of the original Xperia arc, can be pre-ordered in either midnight blue or pure white.
As for the Galaxy Note, the situation is completely different there. Clove has no clue when Sammy’s huge superphone will be available nor how much it will cost. They show a “speculative price” of 600 GBP without sharing any dates whatsoever. If that doesn’t bother you, and you also happen to have...
