How can I find out if I have a Xperia Arc or an Arc S????

[scarver]

Hello All,

Just purchased what I thought was a New Black Xpereia Arc S  from ebay, but after receving the phone I am unsure???

When I do a check on the IMEI number is comes up as a LT15i so not the  LT18i Arc S

When I check on the  "about phone" section under settings it comes up as a LT18i????

On the sticker inside the phone under the battery it says its a LT18i.

Is there a definative way I can check I have purchased the 1.4ghz Arc S LT18i?

 Would like to know if I have been ripped off again on ebay!!

thanks for any help....

you have the LT18i, probably the past user flashed the LT15i software.

You can also enter Service Menu

thanks for your reply.

new to all this, but I was thinking it could be the other way around,,, a LT15I Arc phone that had been flashed with LT18i software to make it apear a newer phone?

[Uliwooly]

it could but go by the sticker under the battery, what do you see on service menu?
