Those of you who have been drooling over Sony Ericsson’s sexy Xperia arc phone ever since it was unveiled at CES this month, get ready for some good news – the phone is now available for pre-order in the UK. Granted it’s not here stateside, but with our UK neighbors getting the phone soon, it shouldn’t take too long to fly across the Atlantic Ocean to our shores. The Xperia arc features a 4.2″ 854 x 480 Reality Display, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 8 megapixel autofocus camera with 720p HD video recording, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), HSPA, WiFi, and GPS. The phone is available for pre-order on Play.com for £459.99 (about $728 after conversion) and is set for an April 1 release date though it hasn’t been officially confirmed by Sony Ericsson themselves. Expect more details to drop at the Mobile World Congress next month.
