  How much is this pay as you go?

  It was 199 a couple of months ago from phones4u but they have put it back up to 249 now

  The arc s is £180 in phones4u on payg upgrade, so this phone is probably only worth £140.

  Well, unless anyone can post a link to a PAYG deal under £249, £288 with £35 cash back and two year's line rental with minutes, texts and internet seems a good deal to me. :)

  ICS is now out for this but seems a little sluggish compared with Android 2.3

  ICS is out for the ARC S now, but is not yet out for the ARC (yes I know that some people are installing the ARC S software on the ARC, but that is not the same thing).

  Which is better, Xperia S or Xperia Arc? I quite like them both actually.

  The Xperia arc is the worst, followed by the Xperia arc s, with the Xperia s a lot better.

  Taken the plunge for this but TCB has only tracked for £5, which might later increase.
  But can anyone confirm which tariff this is according to the TCB website. Talkmobile email calls it the "Smartplan", which isn't mentioned on the TCB link page.

  No, the Sony Ericsson software that pops up when you plug the phone into your PC should tell you that there are software updates, and then just follow the prompts.

  The arc s is £180 in phones4u on payg upgrade, so this phone is probably only worth £140.

  
  
  Even if this were only worth £140, which I don't believe it is, that means that you are paying £288 - £140 = £148 over 24 months (£6.17/month) for 200 mins, 200 texts and 1Gb data with Vodafone coverage. How can this be anything but hot?
  
  However, I cannot find this anywhere for under £200, meaning that you are effectively paying £288 - £200 = £88 over 24 months (£3.67/month) for 200 mins, 200 texts and 1Gb data with Vodafone coverage. How can this be anything but RED HOT?
  
  The phone itself may be a model from a year ago, but the vast majority of us don't need dual or quad core. In every other way this phone has great spec, even when compared to current models.

  I've just been trying to find some info on Talkmobile and I've seen a few people saying that their plans are exclusive of VAT which would make this £14.40 a month I think. Can anyone confirm this? This would about £345 then over the two years maybe about £310 with the quidco.

  You worried me for a while there. Just got my dad to sign up for this. His upper limit was around £12/month. However, in a very roundabout way I've checked and am 99% certain that this £12 includes VAT.
  
  At the link below, there is a pdf explaining billing. The example given is for a plan called 'Pay Monthly 18'. The monthly charge is given at £15.32. When VAT at 17.5% is added (dated back in the good old days of 17.5% VAT) it adds up to £18. This suggests to me that the name SmartPlan £12 does include VAT at £12.
  
  Billing explained
  
  Also, in the basket it says £12/month will be taken by direct debit + any extra charges.
