I asked KDDI about the information that "Xperia arc will be released from au"

Earlier this year Sony Group's mobile phone company,Sony Ericsson officially announced the newest model smartphone "Xperia arc" adopted "Android 2.3"However, since there was information that worried about "the model will be released for au" about the same model for which Japanese models are scheduled to be released, I actually asked KDDI.

It has high specifications and is a high-profile "Xperia" series, but what kind of response is it?

* We added detailed time series to 13: 28.

Details are as below.
This is information that became the beginning of this time. "KDDI and Sony have agreed on the sale of Xperia arc".

And when I contacted KDDI's public relations department about this matter, after avoiding the statement about the release of "Xperia arc", as a general storyRegarding lineups, we have decided each time with manufacturers, including terminal prices and specs, so we discuss each time so that we can not comment on those that have not been officially announced"It was a reply to the effect that it was.

surelyApple announced the CDMA 2000 version "iPhone 4" in January this yearIt seems that there is a trend to release not only W-CDMA but also smartphones that support CDMA 2000 to expand market share, but this does not necessarily mean that CDMA 2000-compatible models will necessarily appear in "Xperia arc" Even if it actually appears, whether it will be released for KDDI depends largely on negotiation between the manufacturer and the carrier, but for the time being, it seems to be only a matter of disappointing the situation for now.
