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 ^^

Wow, I guess no point sticking to the big names. Just rang them and they were like it's in stock in the warehouse but we can't really say when it will be delivered.

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!

Just got mine too... It's frickin awesome!
Sent from The Arc!
Just a heads up, Expansys are selling this for £215 at the moment, bought one myself the price was very good value, waiting for delivery, just hope WP7 is actually good!

Do they deliver to the UK?
This will be my first windows mobile device after moving from iphone to android.
How easy is this to debrand and sim unlock and jailbreak?

They deliver anywhere as I understand it, at least to all of the EU.
The phone comes unbranded and unlocked. And being an LG there's really no need
to jailbreak it, just change a registry entry and you are set.
/J
It's cheaper now!!
It's down to GBP184.99 now at Expansys.

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.

Do you know if it's branded/unbranded? All it says on the website is sim-free.

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.

Mine came with a euro plug adaptor not a UK one and the manual was in portugese! Looks like a got a dodgy one.
I am not affiliated.
I ordered one. B&H Photo-Video: ASUSBKTF101
Me Too. Was searching for them yesterday and nobody seemed to have them in the US. Hopefully we'll actually get these!
That's interesting, out of curiosity, what do you plan on using it for?

It's for people without a dock, to connect external harddrives/thumbdrives, game controllers, 3G modem etc.
Could someone link? I can't find it anywhere.

I got one from Amazon.com (through TigerDirect).
Got it in about 5 days after ordering.
It was about 2 weeks ago so I don't know about stock right now
Thanks. Ordered my this morning. Already shipped. Should be getting it on Thursday.
Bought one. Sweet. This would come in handy, especially for USB storage and stuff. Shipping was expensive so total came to about $16.
Still not bad.
Status shipped. $14.x delivered, sweet as they’re ~$30 everywhere else.
I prefer this setup, expands to everyday USB without the bulk. Really had no intentions to pick one up, but returned my unopened $99 dock last night.
Hmmm… 128GB-SDXC, or next year 128GB-MicroSDXC.
I bought one a few weeks ago, including S&H and sales tax $43
uwaaaa
Guess I shoul have waited.
Awesome I ve been needing this good catch !!
I have been using the dongle for past 2 weeks with a Seagate Goflex 500 GB drive, at 100% charge I calculate that you can view 5 hrs of video from the USB HD doing nothing else.
Really have no way of measuring how big of a hit the drive sucks down batt power on the tablet. Wish the portfolio case designers had a pouch you can slip a 2.5 drive into so it would be easier to handle.
Temporarily out of stock

Price went up a few bucks too. :/
Damn, I knew I should've gotten one when I first saw this...

Do you need to be rooted to do this?
It won't read NTFS formated drives, is that correct?
Temporarily out of stock
Any idea where to get it in EU?

Nope! I use a similar 750GB USB drive formatted as NTFS and it works perfectly.

Though I'll skip it for now as 20Eur is a bit insane for a USB dongle.

Mike was very helpful, got my midnight 32GB version from them, top guy!
BTW, I received international version, in case someone wonder about that.
Well, I want to buy one, but I need A2017G, cause I need B4 and B28.
Where to buy it?
I cannot find it anywere
Thanks
Hmm latest software version for A2017G is an B10.
Any european Amazon site. But i doubt they'll ship to Argentina. You may need to search for a "middle man" company to handle shipping.
