Xperia Arc - 4.2" TFT, GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, microSD, Bluetooth, WiFi, aGPS, USB, FM, Misty Silver
Your life in vivid colour. Videos and stills. Show it all off on the sharp, crisp and clear 4.2" multi-touch Reality display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine. The Xperia™ arc Android touch phone - designed to be daring.
<b>You choose - Android Market™</b>
Going out? Finding out? Or perhaps just chilling out? Download any application you want from Android Market™ and customise your Xperia™ arc to make it exclusively yours.
<b>Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine</b>
Enhanced contrast. Richer colours. Less image noise. The Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine makes the super-wide, 4.2", LED back-lit screen sharp and crisp. And through reduced light reflection, the picture stays clear when you're outdoors, too.
<b>Getting dark?</b>
Dusk, dawn or just a crummy old light bulb? Sony's Exmor R™ for mobile CMOS sensor lets you capture high-quality, bright pictures and videos in poor light conditions.
<b>Designed for style icons</b>
Let your eyes go wide. The sleek curvature of the stunningly slim - just 8.7 mm - Xperia™ arc makes for a perfect palm-fit. This slender, strong and lightweight smartphone is built to make jaws drop.
<b>Connect to your TV via HDMI</b>
Connect your Xperia™ arc to your TV and cuddle up in the sofa. The HDMI connection lets you view pictures and videos from your phone on your TV screen using your TV remote control.
<b>Powered by Android (Gingerbread)</b>
Rich multimedia. Gaming power. Your Xperia™ arc is powered by Android (Gingerbread).
<b>Camera power</b>
Ready for some hard facts? Try 8.1 megapixels. Or maximum aperture of f/2.4 (in short, this means that more light reaches the image sensor). Your Xperia™ arc has the camera muscles you need to get great shots.
<b>Timescape™ - meet your mates</b>
Sony Ericsson Timescape™ lets all your communication with a person come together in one place. Facebook™ posts, calls, text messages - all gathered, so you don't have to open loads of different apps to see what's going on.
