Find out if your bootloader can be unlocked [Guide]
Sony Ericsson plans to open the bootloader across the new range of Xperia Android smartphones. Whilst we wait for Sony Ericsson to provide the official details on how to do this, we thought we’d provide a quick guide on how to find out if your handset has the capability to have its bootloader unlocked.

finally, I got my xperia Arc today. Here in Malaysia, the price is RM2099 (about GBP 424 or 480euro). In the box it comes with several accessories:-
- wireless headset with FM radio MW600
- HDMI cable Im820
- Screen protector
- Car charger AN401
- 8GB memory card
- charger and USB cable.
First impression... very very very fast, even from first boot. very smooth. very good camera. very nice screen (bright) and so many good things.
negative side... not found yet. Will keep looking.

Im having my first major frustration with the Arc and that is, that although it is connected to my Wlan it doesnt work!
Has anybody any idea on how to resolve this?
The IPhone and other devices work perfectly on the same signal!
Reset your router. Happens to me all the time on my Linksys. Other devices can connect, specially those that never logged off, but my phone, which I use to log into other networks has trouble every now and then. This is a dhcp issue, not a phone issue.
WOW! Shutgun solution.
Why not first check if you have a default gateway assigned to the Arc first? Why not check if MAC filtering is enabled? Why not assign a new IP lease on the router from the service provider (new IP address lease)? I'd check these first before resetting and setting up the router and all your devices to be reconnected.
a DHCP issue is not resolving

Well I've bricked my two-day old Arc. Had a few issues, including bluetooth not working properly (force closes every time I try to connect to it with my Mac), so I decided to update it. Update failed halfway (as has happened before for me with SE updates) and the phone won't turn on any more. I no longer get the option to repair the phone, and the computer won't recognise it when I plug it in (it seems to be stuck in a loop of connecting and disconnecting).
So tomorrow I have to find a service centre and try and get myself out of this mess. Say what you like about the iPhone, but I never managed to brick one, unlike SE (bricked two). It's a bloody shame, cos I really like the Arc. I'm gonna keep it once it's repaired, but I certainly won't be updating it again.

@doministry: Have you tried K9-Mail?
Well I have great email app called ProfiMail.
The thing is you have to use Gmail to sync calendar and contacts. And Gmail receives my billing emails from Market. So I don't want to make another Gmail on my device in different app.
I have no fckn idea what to do with it.
Makes me nuts.
And I want to know what about this auto light adjustement. I want it off.
Seems like your transition from WM devices to Android is working out well.
OMG … ProfiMail is available for Android now?! Sweet this app was KING in the Symbian S60 world and for good reason. Have a question … on Android is there an app to RDP to a Windows Machine (possible to remote connect to a Mac OS X machine ??)?
Glad to see the Arc getting some love and also sales - unfortunately SE has one manufacturing plant. Hopefully they learn and make another in a different country.

Not even a yellow triangel when you turn it on? Are you sure you have any battery left?
