A Class of its very own... Sony Ericsson XPERIA ARC.

SPEC SHEET:

• The CPU and GPU specs are: MSM8255 at 1 GHz with Adreno 205.
• The music player does have an equalizer, my current software has 10 different genre based presets.
• It does not have a front facing camera.
• Mediascape is removed in its earlier form and has changed into a customizable widget based “media pane” (as shown briefly in the video)
• It’s too early to officially give detailed comments around specific later Android versions for Xperia^TM arc during its lifecycle but the changes we have made to our way of working with Android puts us in a good position to make sure that Xperia arc will get later versions in a timely manner.
• I’ve seen articles around higher numbers than 2.3 being seen in the display of Xperia arc phones – As I have been informed that is due to a misconfiguration in some samples and nothing to get too excited about really, sorry.
• It does have two microphones which will be used for noise suppression during phone calls.
• The camera LED flash is possible to put in four different modes; Auto, Fill-flash, Red-eye Reduction & Off.
• It does have full multi touch support, I just tried a similar multi touch test app as I did in the video on the X10 and at least in that app it accepts 4 simultaneous touch points without any issues with X- and Y-axis or such things. I will try to get confirmation on final specs in regards to multi touch.
• It does support wi-fi up to the 802.11n mode.

Now my friends over in Sony Ericsson's customer service team, they have started to push out their material around new phones.
For those of you new to Android or the Xperia range there lots of goodies around the basics and the different features over at their youtube channel at www.youtube.com/sonyericssonsupport
Many of these videos go more into details about specific features and help you find answers to common questions. You also find videos made for your specific phone in the Support Application in your phone. You find that  in the application tray or by clicking the Support Widget on the rightmost desktop pane. (As shown in the picture above with the headline “Experience More”)
I know that many of you here are very much in the know on how to use your phones but for those of you a bit new to Android or our Xperia range these can hopefully assist quite a bit. Perhaps some of you have suggestions on what you think we should educate more around? If so, please let me know in the comments section. One big advantage of having this kind of dynamic support application is that we can update the content in it to help out with things we find many consumers have questions around.
If you need support in any way don’t ever hesitate to contact your local Sony Ericsson support center or find your way over to our support forum at talk.sonyericsson.com.
