You'll find some on here who swear by it. The hardware is definitely better. But WP 7 is an entirely new OS than WM 6.5. It is "locked down" - similar to an Iphone - in that modifications and software additions are extremely difficult if not impossible. Personally, I have decided to wait to see if this situation changes.

The decision really depends on how you will use the phone. Right now, for example, if you want to tether your laptop to your phone's internet connection, on the Arrive, you're SOL. Maybe that will change. But if that is not important to you, the Arrive is worth considering.
