So the word just came down from on high that the brand new Sony Ericsson Arc and Play will be offered exclusively from Rogers coming Spring 2011.
This is big news coming from the first carrier to bring Android to Canada back in 2009 with the HTC Dream. Here’s an excerpt from the Rogers Redboard (linked below)
Any other Canadians excited like us to get our hands on these devices?
“We’re excited to announce that the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY and Xperia arc will be coming to Rogers this Spring. We know there’s been a lot of buzz about these devices since CES in January, and we wanted to let you know that Rogers is proud to be the exclusive Canadian carrier.
Rogers was the first carrier to bring Android-powered devices to Canada in 2009 and we’re excited to be adding these two innovative devices to our leading lineup of Android smartphones.
Xperia PLAY
Canadians will be among the first in the world to experience the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY, the world’s first PlayStation certified smartphone, complete with slide-out gamepad. Xperia PLAY combines a PlayStation-quality gaming experience with the very latest Android platform version 2.3, super fast graphics and dedicated game controls.
Xperia arc
The Xperia arc has a super sleek design (measuring only 8.7mm at its thinnest part) and is built with Sony technology on Android version 2.3. The device also has an extra wide 4.2†multi-touch Reality Display with Mobile Bravia Engine and an 8.1 MP camera with HD video recording capability.”
