I really think the best deal is found here:
HTC Arrive for Sprint: $49.99 - $25 Coupon = $24.99 @ Wirefly w/ new Sprint account + Free Activation +FS + CB - Slickdeals.net
I'm looking to do this. Basically $24.99 for the phone with a new line of service. Pay the $200 Early Termination Fee. = HTC Arrive for $224.99
I don't know if there is any other fees or what have you but check into it. Port phone over to your existing line. I've been researching if I can get into the EPST to manually change the settings in order to activate it on Page Plus(Verizon). So far I've been a little gun shy because I haven't heard confirmation of anyone doing it yet.
