The Sony Ericsson Xperia arc has been given a price tag – in Europe that is. The device that made heads turn at CES 2011 will be up for grabs for $499 or about P30,000 in Philippine pesos. Sony Ericsson hasn't announced an exact release date yet; it just said that the phone will be available globally starting Q1 of this year. But if we are to believe Play.com, then SE will be officially serving the Xperia arc on April 1. Hopefully, this is not an April's Fool's joke.
