with vodafone you can upgrade within the last 70days of your contract, but from looking about on the website I can upgrade with the last 120 I think it is, or something like that, only thing being is that I have to pay a lil bit for the fone, depending on length of new contract, 24months the fone is £30 18months the fone is £90 I think and 12months fone is over £150, I can only really afford the 24months at this moment in time.
suppose I could wait until my contract is due for upgrade in june, but thats like 2months away and I want the fone now lol

Hi, not sure if it`s just me but when i set the Alarm and the phone is switched off the phone wont switch back on to sound the alarm. All my other SE phones did, just wondering if it`s an Android thing?
No biggie just thought i could save battery life overnight when not in use.

I think it's an Android thing. Or rather, that the alarm goes of even though the phone is turned off is a former SonyEricsson thing. Symbian phones also have to be powered on in order to have the alarm to go off.
The other way around can be annoying as well, if you, for example, turn oft the phone while watching a movie or attend a wedding, the alarm will still go off, if it's set, despite the phone being turned off.
I'm not saying that either way is right or wrong, it's simply different design decisions, and there are pros and cons with both. One could only wish that the end user was allowed to decide which.

No, it is neither available on Arc, nor on Play...

I think the Backup & Restore apk from X10 is available for download somewhere on xda but on the X10 is built for 2.1 i.e. it's designed to read and write to the data structure of SE's 2.1, not 2.3. So I wouldn't bank on it working on your play/arc. saying that, I don't know the exact differences between 2.1 and 2.3 so it might be worth a shot.
Just make sure you get the X10 version not the mini/mini pro version as that one I'm 99% sure doesn't work.

Update: Sony Ericsson has confirmed that you will be able to still get SEUS updates as long as you carry on using stock SE firmware, even if the bootloader is unlocked. (Thanks @TheHurf!)
