The Sony Ericsson Xperia arc and Xperia Neo can now be pre-ordered for those in India. Flipkart is listing the Xperia arc for Rs. 28999 (€460, £395) and expects availability during the second week of April. The Xperia Neo can be had for Rs. 24999 (€400, £340) with a similar launch timeframe.
We could only see a ‘black’ version listed for both handsets, which probably equates to Midnight Blue for the Xperia arc and Blue Gradient for the Xperia Neo.

Xperia arc versus Xperia neo – which should you choose?
Sony Ericsson has created a dilemma for many people in the upcoming launches of the Xperia arc and Xperia Neo. Judging by recent poll, 70 percent of you are looking forward to the Xperia arc versus only 11 percent wanting the Xperia Neo (the balance was split between the Xperia Play and Xperia Pro). However, having gone hands-on with both phones recently, we are beginning to think that many people will be swayed by the Neo once they can see it in the flesh.
Yes, the Xperia Neo is chunkier than the arc, but the anodised metallic look combined with the extra weight gives it a more premium feel. Plus, it also comes with a crucial extra – a front-facing camera. This omission from the Xperia arc even left some of the Sony Ericsson reps we spoke to slightly bemused.
Combine this with the fact that the Xperia Neo is around €100 cheaper than the Xperia arc, yet offers most of the arc’s headline features (1GHz processor, 8.1MP Exmor R camera, HDMI and Bravia Engine) then it seems that the Neo could be a potential best-seller for Sony Ericsson. On the flip side, there is no denying that the Xperia arc is a more beautiful phone. The general trend towards larger displays, also means many people will naturally gravitate to the arc.
So which handset should you choose? There is no doubt in our mind that the Xperia Neo offers the better value for money. You get most of the same features plus the bonus of the front-facing camera (for those that need it). However, comparing the two side-by-side, there is no denying that the arc is more desirable. Whether this and an extra 0.5-inch in display real estate warrants the extra money will come down to your disposable budget.

Internal memory 320MB is that ROM or RAM comparing to HTC Desire S specification? (As I understand this phone also have RAM 512MB). How much do you need of both?
