Hi,
Just received my Arc today (UK Version) - had it running for about 4 hours, so if you have any questions let me know!
Thanks
Well, I've got a question for you:
Do you like it?

Yes I do - very pleased with it so far, albeit for only a small amount of time.
I didn't want to do my own review etc, just thought I could answer any specific questions for european/UK users.
Is your set branded? If not, perhaps you can check if the bootloader can be unlocked by connecting to the Android SDK's Fastboot tool.
And does it come with a pre-applied screen protector (like the X10)?

No it's not branded - I will try in the next hour to connect to Fastboot.
It does come with a pre-applied screen protector and has a spare in the box as well.

Got mine from Gum Mobile (online)
If you enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialer, you can view more firmware info. Mine is running on GENERIC firmware, which is unbranded and unlocked. Bootloader here is R9A021.
Could you tell me how I can check if my Arc connects to Fastboot? Would love to try it out ^^

From what Gum Mobile told me, they had them in stock for a few days but SE said the release date was the 30th March, so they couldn't send until then.
I'm sure yours will turn up pretty soon!

I ordered a Touch HD a couple of days ago at Amazon.de without any delivery date.
Yesterday, they confirmed an early/mid December 2008 delivery date, too late for me.
So I cancelled the order yesterday.
Today, just out of curiousity, I looked up the Touch HD again on Amazon.de and to my surprise, a german company in Munich selling through Amazon.de had the Touch HD in stock but at that time only 4 units remaining.
I ordered one immediately and I hope to get it around Friday.
When I returned back to Amazon around one hour after my order, the dealer had only ONE unit left, so it seems these babies move fast.
Just wanted to let you know that the Touch HD seems to be shipping all around Europe, shouldn't take long until it will be available everywhere(I assume starting with next week or so).
Ah, thanks a lot! I'm interested in getting it at o2, so I think I'll have to wait till the next week or even the week commencing.. But it'll come for sure this month, thats already great news, because its not such a fiasco as with the X1. Can't wait for the HD... Greez, cad^^
Nice, but this must be the WWE version. Let us know when you get it.

Yeah. 2-3 dead pixels. they stay white all the time.
the 8GB Sd card was not in the package. but i think that this is not you an exclusive, as a german review site who got the device, also had no 8Gb card inside, even if it is written in the manual!!
and when ich switch to camera mode, there is an area of around 2-4 dead pixels which are always white. they are not dead, as it only happens in the camera mode. i think there is a sensor problem. mhmm strange

Yes your right, but on the other hand, amazon will have it a month from now. that stool ong for me. not to forget: the store i bought it from had no problem taking it back after i called them and told them about the dead pixels.
and: i got the information that the 8GB card is missing in the series they recieved. and immidiatly got a card from them
Good news: The German (not Austrian version of the HD is shipped in Germany this week. So by next week all major retailers and online retailers should have stock. For the price conscious that might be able to wait just a little bit longer, keep in mind that the o2 branded version lists at only 570 euros w/o contract, 299 with Genion L contract.
Today I received an email from o2 Germany and it seems Touch HD will be released in calender week 47 which would be 17.11. earliest. Just to let you know. No pricing information yet.

But as far as i heard, even the free HD they are selling is branded. meaning you can use it with every sim, but the software has got O2 specific branding. Like O2 Homescreen and more. It may not bne possible to get the normal Touchflow screen without overwriting the rom and thus, losing warranty
Yes, just what I wrote and you quote, "the o2 branded version lists...w/o contract" - I meant SIM-free. And judging from my experience with the o2 Trion (Tytn I), if ever one has a warranty issue just put the o2 WinMobile version back on - as long as you dont hard-spl and super-cid it. I dont mind branding anyway, as long as there is no button tying me to the providers internet offerings. And as Touchflow is concerned, it would surprise me if HTC would allow branding to not include it for the sake of a homescreen.
Where is you information from about o2 branding?
as far as I know o2 is not doing any branding on this device.

The phone comes unbranded and unlocked. And being an LG there's really no need

Expansys usually do a 12-hour deal on a monday called 'Monday Madness'. I got an email about this particular one.
Definitely 'ends' at midnight UK time.
has anyone got one of these expansys "handset only"
are they brand new and fully boxed/sealed with everything incl. or just repaired units (if they had lots returned due to faulty bluetooth ) ?
I ordered one today its brand new and at £185 it's too good not to buy.

Its brand new, sealed and unbranded.
Got one yesterday as the stock levels started to fall from 100+ to around 50. Considered £214 to be good value, but £184 delivered was a bonus. If I don't like it, I'm sure I won't lose much, and might even make something. Some other online stores still have it at £369.
Could the price drop be linked to today's Mango announcement? Probably, but still a decent smart phone with the anticipated bump in feature spec around the corner is a good time to buy. Let's hope it's not like the Viewty all over again.
Got mine today, came very quickly but that was about as good as it gets.
Phone does not want to boot up. It either hangs on the LG boot screen or refuses to power up at all.
When i plug it into a pc it recognises the lg modem but the driver fails to install!
Try to contact Expansys but so far no replies to emails and with the phone number provided no-one answers!
Anybody else had this problem?
Sealed and new. It's a South Korean model shipped with a replacement (uk) charger.

I don't believe it's going to available in the UK soon so why not saving a lot of money and order it in Hongkong at panamoz.com? They're very reliable.

Hey guys - United States person looking to import here - the English that is on it, is it UK version or NA version (or is selectable between both?)
It might be a stupid question but I'd love to import it instead of waiting for Verizon to get it in a years time...

If so is it the 3G version? How much is it and where are you based.

Panamoz
I bought a 16gb 3G version from Panamoz. I ordered it 17th Jan (evening time) and it arrived on 20th Jan (morning). I selected English UK language during start up and rooted it straight away using the guide for 'root.zip' found in xda forums. It's already done an OTA update (I thought rooting would stop this!). It's working great. I highly recommend Panamoz AND The 7.7 Tab!
I've been using it with a UK T-Mobile sim with no issues, also various WiFi hotspots all appear to work OK.
I don't know of any difference between EU and HK versions, other than language options - but I may be wrong!

Does the Panamoz version comes with the IR port?
Negri Electronics has the 3g version but not the wifi only. My guess is that pretty much all that are out there are HK stock which means no IR.

I have been trying to find info on how good the reception on the phone is.. My s4 has **** reception. the htc one I have has much better reception when im at work. I am hovering over a "Buy it Now" button on ebay and want to find out if it has good reception. Also, how is the stock messaging app? I hate using third party ones, they usually have quirks, but again, cant find any info on what the email or messaging apps look like at all.
You should try Textra. It is the best sms app I have used on Android.

Would you be able to check out wifi range also? compared to other phones? I have an XZ, and have never been happy with the wifi (so much worse than my old iponw 3gs).
I ordered mine from a random Taiwanese seller on ebay. I went for whichever is the cheapest. But i do see some that includes the charging dock. I guess you just have to read the description of each auction to see what they come with

What's the usual deal with Sony warranties on the unlocked/international version? Could you still get the phone serviced at a Sony center or replaced by calling in an issue if you needed to?
I've never bought an international/unlocked/SIM free type phone before but if Sony fails to bring it to the USA carriers I'm interested in I see no other choice.
