Lightbulb [Q] No love for Neo?

Why is there no separate forum for the Xperia Neo?

The news about SE unlocking the Xperia bootloader is great, and I'm eagerly awaiting the launch of the Xperia Neo here. However, I'm surprised at the absence of a forum for the Neo.

Is there any reason for that? And how easy would it be to port a custom ROM, originally written for the Arc, to the Neo? (Seeing that the Arc would be a much more popular device with people).

I think it'd be better if we got a forum for the Arc and Neo together. The only hardware difference is the display (which shouldn't matter for development etc) and the front-facing camera anyway...
Currently using Sony Ericsson J100i for old time's sake (yes, seriously).

Yeah I'd like a forum for Neo as well... Though, software wise the Arc and Neo are pretty much the same, but I gotta say I like the Neo more because of its smaller size and it fits better in the palm of your hand.

Wouldn't trade my Neo for an Arc... =)

Yep, June now.
Even SE don't have any Neos to hand, let alone enough to start selling them.
