Sony Ericsson will be launching its flagship XPERIA Arc Android smartphone in the U.S. market starting this August for $600 unlocked. Unfortunately, as the manufacturer wasn’t able to secure any carrier agreements, the device won’t be offered at this time with a contract for a discounted and subsidized price tag. As such, the $600 price point for this high-end handset may keep the device away from most people as the U.S. market is accustomed to subsidized pricing for cellular contracts.
Though Sony Ericsson didn’t mention what radios will be supported on the handset, it could be safe to assume that the GSM handset will work on either AT&T or T-Mobile USA. It’s unclear if Sony Ericsson will deliver two variants of the handset, each compatible with one carrier’s 3G bands.
