Rumor, ARC is $809.00, NEO is $750.00 , PLAY is $853 for Germany..... ummm WHAT?

According to xperiablog.net, this is what we are looking at!  unless its a bad source, or i think LG is adapting all SE customers.... just to be clear, I WILL NOT pay that much for a phone that already looking like its going to be outdated in a month as the other rumor of android 2.4 coming out in april.  also while The LG has a dual core, and glasses free 3D, why would i not pay less and get that instead?

I am hoping those number are wrong, but if not SE relook into your pricing.  the iphone brand new is like $599.00 and it offers more.... please look into this if you want us to give you another chance.  its not like we had such an amazing experiance with the Xperia X10 that we will jump on it blind foolded, we suffered, and fixing, updating parts in the equation took forever to come, we need to see results. bravia screen, and night pictures won't do it for me.

you dont have dual core processor, 3D, HSPA+ which is waaaaay faster than the current 3g nor you have a front camera in the ARC, and the warranty i bet is like the x10 NOT INTERNATIONAL. 

Galaxy S ii or LG X2 were my second options, but with this Rumor, i am seriously looking into a new company LG seems worth a shot but if they shoot me in the face with a price i know samsung wont and its got everything except the 3D.

why would i even consider SE for the 11th year?  what is going on here?  please explain

it's not a rumor......suze confirmed it above!!!  FUCK SONY ERICSSON!!!!!!!!  You can kiss my ass, you backstabbing, overpriced pieces of shit!!!!

I don't care if the phone comes with my own personal SE employee at my command 24/7....it's still not worth that much money!!!!!  I'd pay MAYBE half that....that's pushing it!!!

well, i guess for that price i will get a dual processor phone... now which one?  LG X2 or Samsung S ii?  and i am sure that the samsung would be the cheapest option while its the most capable!  i mean have you seen the specs on that thing?  blows anyones mind, but the 3D in the LG is something 2  aaaaaaaah can't make up my mind!

why so expensive? even tablets are about the same price, with honeycomb and many other goodies, SE should really stop charging so much, yes the Xperia line up looks quite sexy but come on

I wouldn't take toooo much heed of the Play.com pre-release price, they always seem to be on the high side.  It will be interesting to see what the Carriers start knocking them out at, obviously if you are on a contract the handsets are subsidised.

It's more than the price thats a turn off my dear.

I am Sure SE will adjust their prices Especially in the US.  Looking at what the other companies offer how the arc is missing lots of specs compares to X2, S ii and HTC new phones, i am sure SE will adjust their prices.  i believe the X10 had a good pricing true that we suffered for a long time, but now its worth every penny i paid for it.  

I understand what suze is trying to say, and i would be curiouse to see it happen with the future releases.

I got my x10 around the beginning of this year.

I have not had a cell phone that works since, cuz thats why i bought a x10.

If something overheats or laggs when you get a call and   then is still imposible to hear.

So telll me how that is worth it?

They took our money.... say no futher updates... now it's worth it?

the X10 they got the spec great and let the phone down with the outdated software, this time they've got the spec way off. 1g proccessor 512mb ram compared to my current choice of new phone galaxy s 11, 1g dual core and 1g ram and other new releases leave it behind as well.

the only thing they've seemed to get right with both the X10 & ARC are the style, they both look/looked the smartest phone but at the moment of release both seem to have begun as the dumbest. lets hope for ARC/PLAY/NEO buyers that the software at least keeps pace.

more research required before i shell out for the new samsung but surely their customer update service cant be as bad as the X10.

you just couldn't buy another SE after the X10 even though the ARC looks way cooler than the rest of the upcoming releases.

in favour of SE, i should have added that they also have the best build quality, their phones feel sturdy/solid, where as other manufacurers phones feel a bit wobbly/loose fitting/flimsy at times.

still not feeling enticed by any of these new SE models over the galaxy S II though.

I just can't believe that a phone or phones that lack many great feature (RAM, front facing camera, dual processor, etc) will cost as much as the best Android tablet so far (Xoom) and so far the most advanced android the Atrix

Yeah I saw Atrix.. shlt! I drooled over my laptop..  The design isn't the same as Arc or any SE product, but the performance man!!!! That tops everything else.

Look at this:

If Arc design + Atrix combine.. even it came from SE, I'd close my eyes and buy it.  Well Atrix alone is more than enough.
