Aaron gets a first look at the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc, the newest device in the XPERIA lineup. It's sporting a 1 GHz processor, 4.2-inch "Reality Display" (yes, the high-resolution catchphrases will never die), some HDMI goodness, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), and Sony Ericsson's custom user interface.

The device is impressively thin with some nice curves, though it's a bit plasticky. It'll be available by the end of Q1 (March), but there's no word on carrier partnerships or the regions that will be receiving the device.
