Sony Ericsson made the promise to unlock the bootloader of SIM free and generic versions of the new Xperia range. Currently for the UK, this is limited to the Arc and Play.

Today, they have at last made a website with details on how to unlock the bootloader. We assume that the Neo and Pro will be able to unlock in the same manner when they get launched.

Sadly, at time of writing, it is rather pointless as there are no custom ROMs for the Play or Arc. However, as soon as we get details of custom ROMs being made, we will be sure to let you know, and hope that the XDA devs will start work on this soon.

Just as a reminder: unlocking the bootloader on your Xperia device will void the warranty. Also, many people that have already done it have reported that the process seems to wipe the data from your phone, and may not work properly on the Android Market (as reported by one of our forum users)
