XI Wiki
I have a TP2 and its utter fucking garbage. I have sprint, I need to stick with them for work. I need a Windows 7 phone, I need windows for work. I need a keyboard, my retard galka claws can't use those fancy touch screens.
Arrive seems to be my best choice. Anyone have one? And no, I don't want the Evo Shift.
I wish Sprint didn't suck balls at announcing awesome phones unlike Veriz and ATT...
EDIT: Got the Arrive and love it. Anyone else use a WM7 phone? What do you love/hate about it

I have been researching phones for the last week trying to decide what to upgrade too (Sprint as well) and honestly, from your restrictions, the arrive seems to be your only option. The Nexus S and Evo 3D are the only 2 phones I have heard of coming up for Sprint, and both Android based.
Not very helpful I know, but really hope the best for ya.

Arrive is your only choice, but its good. HTC phones are solid build quality wise. The rumored upcoming windows sprint phone is touch screen only.

i took a live demo arrive from our store.. personally I love it.
I think its a great phone for people just coming into the smart phone game or people who need a windows device. And yea nothing good but the Nexus S and Evo 3D coming out soon so I think the Arrive is the way to go.
They keyboard on that thing is phenomenal and I hate physical keyboards usually, and I love the integrated facebook.

Got it, and honestly, wow, I'm impressed. More so then I thought I would be. At first I felt like i was conceding to "best I can do for now" upgrade, but I was wrong. Its so easy to use, and has that "phone to save me from my phone" feel they advertise. Tiles are ingenious. The only thing that bothers me is lack of 4G but it connects to WiFi whenever available and whenever I get back to my apartment, so I've gotten over that.
I've already found most aps that I would want from Android, on here. And the games are fucking gorgeous for mobile phone games.
I think the highlight of the phone so far, and the reason I finally fell in love with the OS was today at work. I was extremely busy and had a no show on an employee. I was able to chain and group text messeges to employees and make some logistical moves within a matter of moments, and with customers watching me ring them up... all because of the tile system they use for the OS and the way they allow you to create chat groups, split them up, re combine them and call them within the chat trees themselves. I was really impressed. Normally I would be fumbling around for a solid 20min trying to do what I did in probably 3min total with this phone.
Also got to bring up work documents for the first time. Damn its nice to finally see an excel sheet like its supposed to be viewed...
This phone is pretty boss

Great to hear. I decided to go with an Epic as I was to cheap to pay over double for an Evo and only downside I have seen is a much smaller development community... Though, I didnt even consider an Arrive as I dont know how long windows phones will last. Will be my first smartphone so pretty excited, yet nervous as I always worry about making the wrong choices.

Smart Part is Nice - Phone Part SUCKS
I don't know about anyone else but these devices are called smartPHONES yet I find the call quality on phones has been steadily declining over the years.
The Arrive I purchased seems to be aimed at gamers and social network people and the people that use them for business (email, calendar, PHONE CALLS) have been left behind.
Anyone else find the call quality poor....at best?

Sound Quality is a lot better then the TP2 I had. My speaker phone doesn't sounds like a retard rubbing a handset against his ass while he screams.
I'm in love with this phone. Leagues better then anything I've ever had. And the next update is going to be killer, let alone 7.5
