Sony Ericsson XPERIA Pro and XPERIA Neo are now available for pre-order. They look very similar but there are only a few differences: XPERIA Pro has a real keyboard but Neo has a dedicated GPU. The price for a sim-free Neo is ~ €480 and for a sim-free Pro ~ €499 but there are cheaper offers, too.<br>

For our UK readers you can pre order both phone direct from SE:

Xperia Pro SIM FREE £349.99: http://se-store.co.u...sson-xperia-pro

Xperia Neo SIM FREE £369.99: http://se-store.co.u...sson-xperia-neo

Play also have the Neo on pre order, with no difference on price. They did issue a release date when the item got listed, but now they have removed that: http://www.play.com/...earchtype=genre

As you can see, this is quite different from the euro pricing. I wonder why SE sell the Pro cheaper than the Neo?

As for the UK release of Neo, the last I have heard is in June, with no word still on the Pro.

My wife wants a red Pro - although I suspect the chances of getting one on contract with Orange are slim to none. Shame.

I think the phones are too expensive, they should be cheaper than the Arc, which costs around 430€ here.
