Our friends around the pond have had a month’s head start researching Sony Ericsson’s Xperia arc S inside and outside. Now, it seems that refreshed flagship’s gearing as much as hit stateside as early as this week in unlocked fashion. Shown as having an estimated November 15th ship date on Sony’s site, the 4.2-inch Gingerbread handset brings its Mobile Bravia Engine display, 1.4GHz Qualcomm processor and eight megapixel shooter to North American mitts for $499 in four distinct shades. If carrier subsidization is your chosen approach to purchase, you will have to hold off for somewhat as official US plans have not begun to be announced. But why wait? Your early access mobile bragging rights await you on the source.
