Re: A mystery

SE phones are (were?) always behind the times technologically.

Eg - when Dual core phones were the norm and rumours of quad core phones were starting Sony Ericsson released their new Arc with an overclocked single core CPU. This is probably fine technically (I own an SGSII and don't see any day-to-day difference) but two is better than one from a marketing perspective...

Plus before the Arc they were releasing Android phones with seriously outdated operating systems and got a bad rep for upgrades.

At least with Androids you always seemed to be buying last years phone if it was a Sony Ericsson...
